Lawrence M. Krauss Ordre des livres

Lawrence Krauss explores the greatest unanswered questions at the forefront of science today, and likely for the coming century and beyond. Internationally known theoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss explores science’s greatest unanswered questions. Three of the most important words in science are “I don't know.” Not knowing implies a Universe of opportunities—the possibility of discovery and surprise. Our understanding of science has advanced immeasurably over the last five hundred years, yet many fundamental mysteries of existence persist: How did our Universe begin? How big is the Universe? Is time travel possible? What’s at the center of a black hole? How did life on Earth arise? Are we alone? What is consciousness, and can we create it? These mysteries define the scientific forefront—the threshold of the unknown. To explore that threshold is to gain a deeper understanding of just how far science has progressed. Covering time, space, matter, life, and consciousness, Krauss introduces readers to topics that will shape the state of science for the next century, providing us all passport to our own journeys of exploration and discovery.

Lawrence Krauss tackles twenty-five of cosmology's greatest unanswered questions that will shape the state of science over the next few decades.

An illustrated book that attempts to dives beneath the mystery of climate change in search of the truth.

Die Entschlüsselung des Universums ist das größte Abenteuer der Menschheit Warum sind wir hier? Diese Frage steht hinter dem jahrtausendealten Versuch der Menschen, die Welt, in der wir leben, zu begreifen. Lawrence Krauss, einer der bekanntesten Astrophysiker der Gegenwart, erzählt die Geschichte dieses größten geistigen Abenteuers der Menschheit: Schritt für Schritt zu entschlüsseln, wie das Universum entstanden ist, woraus es besteht, wie es funktioniert und welche Rolle wir darin spielen, kurz, die Entdeckung der verborgenen Welt hinter der wahrnehmbaren Realität im Großen wie im Kleinen. Packend und anschaulich schildert er die Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse bis hin zu dem faszinierenden Bild, das die Physik unserer Zeit von den rätselhaften Strukturen und Kräften des Universums zeichnet.

Kniha Star Trek a věda (původní název The Physics of Star Trek) reaguje na svět sci-fi série Star Trek. Ta se stala od počátku šedesátých let minulého století celosvětovým fenoménem. Její specifikum je mimo jiné i v optimistickém pohledu na budoucnost lidstva založeném na mírovém využití výsledků vědeckého poznání a technologického pokroku. Komunita příznivců Star Treku je velice rozšířená. Také u nás se najde mezi lidmi s obecným zájmem o vědu a techniku spousta „trekkies“. Autor se věnuje teoretickým i praktickým základům sci-fi rekvizit jako jsou manipulace prostorem, časem, gravitací, budoucími obtížemi „skutečné“ teleportace, výroby a skladování antihmoty, možností počítačových simulací a holograie nebo možnosti vzniku a detekce života ve vesmíru. Přes toto všechno kniha nevyžaduje od čtenáře žádné speciální znalosti.V nejnáročnějších pasážích nepředpokládá více než znalost fyziky střední školy.

In A Universe from Nothing, Lawrence Krauss explained how our entire universe could arise from nothing. Now he reveals what that something -- reality -- is. And, reality is not what we think or sense -- it's weird, wild, and counterintuitive; it's hidden beneath everyday experience; and its inner workings seem even stranger than the idea that something can come from nothing. In a work of scientific history, Krauss leads us to the furthest reaches of space and time, to scales so small they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence. His unique blend of research and storytelling invites us into the lives and minds of the scientists who have helped to unravel the unexpected fabric of reality -- with reason rather than superstition and dogma. Krauss has himself been an active participant in this effort, and he knows many of them well. The Greatest Story challenges us to re-envision ourselves and our place within the universe, as it appears that "God" does play dice with the universe

Internationally renowned, award-winning theoretical physicist, New York Times bestselling author of A Universe from Nothing , and passionate advocate for reason, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world of reality—a grand poetic vision of nature—and how we find our place within it. In the beginning there was light. But more than this, there was gravity. After that, all hell broke loose… In A Universe from Nothing , Krauss revealed how our entire universe could arise from nothing. Now, he reveals what that something—reality—is. And, reality is not what we think or sense—it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive; it’s hidden beneath everyday experience; and its inner workings seem even stranger than the idea that something can come from nothing. In a landmark, unprecedented work of scientific history, Krauss leads us to the furthest reaches of space and time, to scales so small they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence. His unique blend of rigorous research and engaging storytelling invites us into the lives and minds of the remarkable, creative scientists who have helped to unravel the unexpected fabric of reality—with reason rather than superstition and dogma. Krauss has himself been an active participant in this effort, and he knows many of them well. The Greatest Story challenges us to re-envision ourselves and our place within the universe, as it appears that “God” does play dice with the universe. In the incisive style of his scintillating essays for The New Yorker , Krauss celebrates the greatest intellectual adventure ever undertaken—to understand why we are here in a universe where fact is stranger than fiction.

Lawrence M. Krauss, světově proslulý kosmolog a popularizátor moderní vědy, zachycuje osobní a profesní život fascinující osobnosti, amerického teoretického fyzika Richarda Feynmana. Tento svérázný člověk s velkým smyslem pro humor, vynikající pedagog a spolunositel Nobelovy ceny za fyziku za rok 1965 proslul famózní kreativitou, která vedla k největšímu pokroku ve fyzice druhé poloviny 20. století – odhalení povahy kvantové mechaniky. Je také autorem mnoha bestsellerů, například To nemyslíte vážně, pane Fenymane, a proslulých Fenymanových přednášek z fyziky.

This is a provocative account of the astounding new answers to the most basic philosophical question: Where did the universe come from and how will it end?
