Einstein's steadfast refusal to accept certain aspects of quantum theory was rooted in his insistence that physics has to be about reality. Accordingly, he once derided as spooky action at a distance the notion that two elementary particles far removed from each other could nonetheless influence each others propertiesa hypothetical phenomenon his fellow theorist Erwin Schrdinger termed quantum entanglement.

In 1695, Isaac Newton already renowned as the greatest mind of his agemade a surprising career change. He left quiet Cambridge, where he had lived for 30 years and made his earth-shattering discoveries, and moved to London to take up the post of Warden of His Majestys Mint. Newton was preceded to the city by a genius of another kind, the budding criminal William Chaloner.

In the 1990s, researchers in the Arctic noticed that floating summer sea ice had begun receding. This was accompanied by shifts in ocean circulation and unexpected changes in weather patterns throughout the world. The Arctic's perennially frozen ground, known as permafrost, was warming, and treeless tundra was being overtaken by shrubs. What was going on? Brave New Arctic is Mark Serreze's riveting firsthand account of how scientists from around the globe came together to find answers.

For the larger-than-life personalities now staking their fortunes on the development of rocket ships, the new race to explore space could be a dead end, a lucrative opportunity - or the key to humanity's salvation. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos take center stage in this fast-paced narrative as they attempt to disrupt the space economy, feed their own egos, and maybe even save the world.

Everyone recognises the famous physicist with the wild, white hair. But what sort of person was the young Albert Einstein, before he became universally acclaimed as the archetypal genius? And how did his genius unfold? In this brilliant new Kindle Single, scientist Robyn Arianrhod blends biography with popular science to tell the story of how young Albert developed a theory that - unknown to him at first - contained the seeds of his extraordinary equation E = mc2.

A mind-bending exploration of gravity, the universe's greatest mystery. What is gravity? Nobody knows - and just about nobody knows that nobody knows. How something so pervasive can also be so mysterious, and how that mystery can be so wholly unrecognized outside the field of physics, is one of the greatest conundrums in modern science. But as award-winning author Richard Panek shows in this groundbreaking book, gravity is a cold case that we are closer to cracking than ever - and whose very investigation has yielded untold truths about the cosmos and humanity itself.

Beyond dares to imagine a fantastic future for humans in space - and then reminds us that we're already there. Human exploration has been an unceasing engine of technological progress, from the first homo sapiens to leave our African cradle to a future in which mankind promises to settle another world. Beyond tells the epic story of humanity leaving home - and how humans will soon thrive in the vast universe beyond the Earth.

Si la Lune m'était comptée... Fatoumata Kebe décrypte pour le lecteur non spécialiste les mystères qui entourent la Lune. Elle passe au crible mythes et légendes, et nous dévoile la réalité de cet astre encore mal connu du grand public. Ce sujet devrait trouver un écho particulier en librairie et dans les médias en 2019, année de célébration des 50 ans de la mission Apollo et des premiers pas de l'homme sur la Lune.

The Quantum Rules applies the laws of physics to explain everything from relationships and human nature to the effects of globalization. It achieves the impossible task of making quantum physics deeply relevant to all listeners - even those with no interest in science. With a lively and engaging tone, author Kunal Das ponders the underlying truths and patterns in our shared and common life experiences, using insights derived from the fundamental laws of physics.

Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped to lead us into the atomic age. Yet in the final decades of his life, he was also ignored by most working scientists, his ideas opposed by even his closest friends.

In this stunning new volume, Jim Baggott argues that there is no observational or experimental evidence for many of the ideas of modern theoretical physics: Super-symmetric particles, super strings, the multiverse, the holographic principle, or the anthropic cosmological principle. These theories are not only untrue; they are not even science. They are fairy-tale physics: Fantastical, bizarre and often outrageous, perhaps even confidence-trickery. This book provides a much-needed antidote.

In June of 1916, Albert Einstein published his ambitious paper proposing the existence of gravitational waves. In 2016, Einstein's 100-year-old theory was proven correct when scientists detected ripples in the fabric of space. Einstein and Relativity: A Conversation by Paul Rudd and Brian Greene celebrates this achievement, with Greene and Rudd sitting down to talk about string theory, relativity, and the discovery of gravitational waves.

Una delle poche cose su cui pressoché tutti gli italiani, di qualunque schieramento politico, sembrano essere d’accordo è che l’energia nucleare è una cosa brutta. Le accuse sono note a tutti: il nucleare è pericoloso, costoso, lento da implementare, produce scorie radioattive e comunque non ci serve. Ma l’accusa è solo una parte del processo: se si vuole formulare un giudizio equo, occorre ascoltare anche l’altra campana.

Stai viaggiando nel cosmo con la tua astronave. All’improvviso ti trovi di fronte a una totale assenza di luce: un buio su sfondo nero circondato da stelle, una misteriosa oscurità in apparenza priva di massa che ti attrae, per sfuggire alla quale devi aumentare gradualmente la potenza dei retrorazzi. Non devi oltrepassare il punto di non ritorno, quello dopo il quale, per salvarti, dovresti spingere i motori fino a superare i 300 000 chilometri al secondo della velocità della luce.

La Terra è un minuscolo grumo di materia che si è generato nell’immensità dell’universo quasi 5 miliardi di anni fa. Da allora vaga per lo spazio-tempo, e da un po’ porta con sé un prezioso carico di vita, intelligenza e coscienza. Ma lei e il suo carico sono costantemente minacciati da esplosioni di supernove, impatti con grandi asteroidi, glaciazioni, eruzioni di supervulcani, megaterremoti e fiotti di raggi gamma. E di recente ci si sono messe anche bombe atomiche, crisi climatiche, pandemie e tante altre belle invenzioni dell’abitante principe del pianeta: l’umanità.

Albert Einstein ha definito Wolfgang Pauli il suo unico e degno successore. Perché? Cosa rende il pensiero di Pauli unico e interessante? Questo è un viaggio alla scoperta dei segreti di uno dei fisici quantistici più importanti del XX Secolo. Dalla sua vita e dalle sue intuizioni ci faremo travolgere, per capire chi siamo e da dove veniamo, ci identificheremo nelle sue insofferenze e nei suoi abissi, per trovare una nuova chiave di lettura per vivere seguendo il nostro naturale talento, per crescere ed innalzarci.

Ein Leben ohne Physiker ist möglich, aber freudlos. Deswegen gibt es nun die bereits 8. Staffel dieses Podcasts. Ist das schon ein Naturgesetz? In den nächsten 24 Folgen stellen sich die Physiker mal wieder die wirklich wichtigen Fragen: Was hat ein Luftballon, der uns die Haare zu Berge stehen lässt, mit FFP2-Masken zu tun? Wie fängt man Gas, mit dem viele ihre Häuser heizen, eigentlich ein, um es sicher zu transportieren? Wie baut man eigentlich Brücken, die vieles aushalten? Wie bestimmt Physik unser Büro? Und was sollten wir uns für den nächsten Waldspaziergang unbedingt merken?

量子力学を創始し，原子物理学の基礎を築いた人が追究した生命の本質とは？　本書は分子生物学の生みの親となった20世紀の名著である．生物現象ことに遺伝のしくみと染色体行動における物質の構造と

"Cos'è il numero, che l'uomo lo può capire? E cos'è l'uomo, che può capire il numero?" A porsi queste domande fu nel 1960 il neurofisiologo Warren McCulloch, evidentemente insoddisfatto delle molte rigide e vuote definizioni che erano state sciorinate fino ad allora dai filosofi. In questo libro Piergiorgio Odifreddi affronta le due domande con un approccio più fluido e pratico: invece di provare inutilmente a dirci cos'è il numero in astratto, ci mostra utilmente una serie di numeri in concreto.

"Se avete il desiderio di capire la meccanica quantistica, dovete essere pronti a un viaggio in un mondo sconfinato e bellissimo. Per questo è nata questa mia pratica guida all'autolesionismo di gruppo, per perderci nei meandri più torbidi della meccanica quantistica. Ma, d'altra parte, Bohr disse: 'Se uno non è rimasto scioccato la prima volta che ha sentito parlare di fisica quantistica, allora non ha capito niente'". Gabriella Greison, la "rockstar della fisica", ha scritto la prima guida per approcciare la meccanica quantistica.
