Subaltern notable − which took us on a journey from the time when Aristotle and the world of that era believed that Earth was the center of the universe and supported on the back of a giant tortoise to our contemporary age when we know better − regards body of knowledge as painterly truth. Rather...

Dark energy, the mysterious cause of the accelerating expansion of the universe, is one of the most important fields of research in astrophysics and cosmology today. Introducing the theoretical ideas, observational methods and results, this textbook is ideally suited to graduate courses on dark energy,...

The theory of one brings the reader face to face with the stunning realization that the universe is bounded—rather than unbounded, as Einstein and others have asserted. The theory of one delivers the ocean. It is the theory that spells the end of physics. It is the monolith of 2001—a spacetime odyssey.

This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking black hole evaporation effect, and to particle creation processes in the early universe. The last decade has witnessed...

È la formula più famosa di tutti i tempi. Ma quanti di noi sanno che cosa significa, esattamente? E perché è ancora importante per noi cent’anni dopo la sua esposizione? Il fisico di fama mondiale Christophe Galfard considera il significato reale dietro all’iconica sequenza di simboli di cui...

Tempo, spazio e materia appaiono generati da un pullulare di eventi quantistici elementari. Comprendere questa tessitura profonda della realtà è l’obiettivo della ricerca in gravità quantistica, la sfida della scienza contemporanea dove tutto il nostro sapere sulla natura viene rimesso in questione....

Aux allures de science-fiction, des faits scientifiques pourtant bien réelsDans le film Interstellar, un équipage quitte la Terre et traverse un « trou de ver ». Ce passage secret menant vers l’extrémité de l’Univers n’est pas juste une fantasmagorie de scénariste ! Le Dr Eric W. Davis,...

Le très grand intérêt théorique présenté par les phénomènes de mouvement brownien a été signalé par M. Gouy[1] : on doit à ce physicien d’avoir formulé nettement l’hypothèse qui voit dans ce mouvement continuel des particules en suspension dans un fluide un écho de l’agitation...

La fécondité singulière manifestée par la notion nouvelle, par le fait expérimental de la structure discontinue, corpusculaire, des charges électriques semble être le caractère le plus saillant des travaux modernes en Électricité....

Genio indiscusso, appassionato pacifista, eclettico rivoluzionario delle scienze, Albert Einstein ha sovvertito il nostro modo di concepire l’universo. Michio Kaku ripercorre in questo libro le tappe principali che hanno portato alla nascita, al completamento e alla pubblicazione della teoria della...

I have tried to explain that finite calculational accuracy is the point: it is not possible to calculate real number exactly in finite time and no-one has been claiming anything like that. The idea of giving up all the mathematics since Newton is just just because we cannot calculate with infinite...

In response to repeated requests this classic book on space-time structure by Professor Erwin Schrödinger is now available in the Cambridge Science Classics series. First published in 1950, and reprinted in 1954 and 1960, this lucid and profound exposition of Einstein's 1915 theory of gravitation still provides valuable reading for students and research workers in the field.

RELATIVITA' FACILE è una guida che presenta la celeberrima teoria della relatività di Albert Einstein, senza dubbio la teoria fisica più famosa. Tutti ne hanno sentito parlare ma pochi ne hanno capito il significato perché la teoria riguarda fenomeni fisici che sono al di fuori della nostra esperienza...
