Автор: Clegg Brian Название: Ten Days in Physics That Shook the World: How Physicists Changed Everyday Life ISBN: 1785787470 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781785787478 Издательство: TBS/GBS Цена: 2058.00 р. Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The breakthroughs that have had the most transformative practical impacts, from thermodynamics to the Internet. Physics informs our understanding of how the world works - but more than that, key breakthroughs in physics have transformed everyday life. We journey back to ten separate days in history to understand how particular breakthroughs were achieved, meet the individuals responsible and see how each breakthrough has influenced our lives. It is a unique selection. Focusing on practical impact means there is no room for Stephen Hawking's work on black holes, or the discovery of the Higgs boson. Instead we have the relatively little-known Rudolf Clausius (thermodynamics) and Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (superconductivity), while Albert Einstein is included not for his theories of relativity but for the short paper that gave us E=mc2 (nuclear fission). Later chapters feature transistors, LEDs and the Internet. Finally we ask: what could the eleventh day be? - i.e. the greatest development yet to come.

Описание: Explores the history of the Big Bang concept. From the earliest creation myths, through Hershel`s realization that the Milky Way was one of many galaxies, to the debates about Black Holes, this title looks at the origins of the universe and the many theories that led to the acceptance of the Big Bang.

Описание: Social media is changing the business of representation in the Senate. If you want to know what your senator is up to, you don`t need a newspaper, just your phone. Drawing on a unique dataset of almost 200,000 senator tweets, Tweeting is Leading offers a critical analysis of senators` communication on Twitter, the individual and constituent forces that shape it, and the agendas that result.

Описание:
A pop science look at time travel technology, from Einstein to Ronald Mallett to present day experiments. Forget fiction: time travel is real.
In How to Build a Time Machine, Brian Clegg provides an understanding of what time is and how it can be manipulated. He explores the fascinating world of physics and the remarkable possibilities of real time travel that emerge from quantum entanglement, superluminal speeds, neutron star cylinders and wormholes in space. With the fascinating paradoxes of time travel echoing in our minds will we realize that travel into the future might never be possible? Or will we realize there is no limit on what can be achieved, and take on this ultimate challenge? Only time will tell.
