A fun and fascinating look at great scientific paradoxes. Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don't seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. For example, how can a cat be both dead and alive at the same time? Why will Achilles never beat a tortoise in a race, ...

Dopo più di un secolo, la fisica si è ormai abituata a scendere a patti con le implicazioni della meccanica quantistica, perché questa teoria controintuitiva si è dimostrata solidissima e perfettamente adeguata a descrivere i fenomeni della materia. Ma chi non ha avuto in sorte l'occasione di studiare fisica è piuttosto perplesso, e fa bene ad esserlo. In che senso una particella può passare da due ...

Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Using wonderful examples and thought-provoking analogies, Al-Khalili illuminates the physics of the extreme cosmic and quantum scales, the speculative frontiers of the field, and the physics that underpins our everyday experience...

Reminiscent of vintage Arthur C. Clarke . . . has a chilling, nail-biting authenticity' said James Lovegrove in the Financial Times.From renowned theoretical physicist, broadcaster and author Jim Al-Khalili, comes this thrilling debut novel drawing on cutting-edge science and set in a near-future full of dazzling technologies. 2041 and the world as we know it grinds to a halt. Our planet seems to be turning against itself - it would appear tha...

Explore the laws and theories of physics in this accessible introduction to the forces that shape our universe, our planet, and our everyday lives.Using a bold, graphics-led approach, The Physics Book sets out more than 80 of the key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpacking the thought behind each theory--as well as exploring when and ho...

While neutron halos were discovered 30 years ago, this is the first book written on the subject of this exotic form of nuclei that typically contain many more neutrons than stable isotopes of those elements. It provides an introductory description of the halo and outlines the discovery and evidence for its existence. It also discusses different theoretical models of the halo's structure as well as models and techniques in reaction theory that ...
