Our understanding of nature's deepest reality has changed radically, but almost without our noticing, over the past twenty-five years. Transcending the clash of older ideas about matter and space, acclaimed physicist Frank Wilczek explains a remarkable new discovery: matter is built from almost weightless units, and pure energy is the ultimate source of mass. He calls it The Lightness of Being. Space is no mere container, empty and passive. It...

Fundamentals might be the perfect book for the winter of this plague year. . . . Wilczek writes with breathtaking economy and clarity, and his pleasure in his subject is palpable." -The New York Times Book ReviewOne of our great contemporary scientists reveals the ten profound insights that illuminate what everyone should know about the physical worldIn Fundamentals, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek offers the reader a simple yet profound explorat...

In Fundamentals, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek offers the reader a simple yet profound exploration of reality based on the deep revelations of modern science. With clarity and an infectious sense of joy, he guides us through the essential concepts that form our understanding of what the world is and how it works. Through these pages, we come to see our reality in a new way--bigger, fuller, and stranger than it looked before. Synthesizing basic ...

Dieses Buch, geschrieben von einem der großen Physiker unserer Zeit, handelt von den zehn fundamentalen Prinzipen, die unsere Welt im Innersten zusammenhalten und die jeder kennen sollte. Es wurde mit dem Ziel verfasst, die zentralen Botschaften der modernen Physik so einfach wie möglich darzustellen, ohne es an Genauigkeit fehlen zu lassen. Dabei geht es um weit mehr als um bloße Fakten, so faszinierend diese auch sein mögen. Es geht auch um ...

Fundamentals is built around a simple but profound idea: our everyday models of reality are adequate for practical purposes, but they do not take account of the surprising and mind-expanding revelations of modern science. By opening our minds to wonder, we will find that the universe is larger, fuller and much stranger than we might expect.Combining dazzling speculations with expert clarity, in ten chapters Wilczek guides us through time, spac...

One of our great contemporary scientists presents ten insights that illuminate what every thinking person needs to know about what the world is and how it worksNobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek's Fundamentals is built around a simple but profound idea: the models of the world we construct as children are practical and adequate for everyday life, but they do not bring in the surprising and mind-expanding revelations of modern science. To do that...

I pattern delle onde che descrivono i protoni, i neutroni e tutti i loro parenti ricordano le vibrazioni di strumenti musicali, e in effetti le equazioni matematiche che governano questi due domini, superficialmente molto diversi, sono in realtà molto simili. Quest'analogia musicale risale alla preistoria della scienza: già Pitagora scoprì che le note armoniose sono quelle suonate da corde le cui lunghezze sono in una semplice relazione numeri...

Da sempre l'innovativo lavoro di Frank Wilczek nella fisica quantistica è ispirato dalla sua ricerca di un più profondo ordine della bellezza nella natura: dall'assunto che l'universo incarni forme bellissime le cui caratteristiche sono la simmetria - armonia, equilibrio, proporzione - e l'economia. Wilczek non è certo l'unico grande scienziato che traccia la sua rotta usando come bussola la bellezza. Come rivela in "Una bellissima domanda", q...

Does the universe embody beautiful ideas? Artists as well as scientists throughout human history have pondered this "beautiful question." With Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek as your guide, embark on a voyage of related discoveries, from Plato and Pythagoras up to the present. Wilczek's groundbreaking work in quantum physics was inspired by his intuition to look for a deeper order of beauty in nature. This is the deep logic of the universe-and it...

Born in New York, Frank Wilczek studied at the University of Chicago and gained his Ph.D. in physics at Princeton University. Frank won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for work he did as a twenty-one-year-old graduate student. His writing has featured twice in Best American Science Writing and his exposition of modern physics, Longing for the Harmonies was named New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Frank is currently Herman Feshbach Pro...

This is the first book to appear on the topic of anyons in condensed matter physics, a topic now very fashionable because of its possible relevance to high-temperature superconductivity." Science (USA) "I recommend the book for students and specialists in condensed matter physics or theoretical physics, who might want to experience the freshness and novelty of the fractional statistics concepts." Physics World, 1991 "This timely volume offers ...

The occurrence of fractional statistics has been discovered in more and more quantum field theory models, including some of the most geometrical and canonical ones. In a remarkable case, the fractional quantum statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional quantized Hall effect (FQHE) contributes to the understanding of states found there. Very recent work has indicated that similar possibilities arise for two-dimensional films in certain stat...
