Cette série mélange brillamment science et fantasy, explorant comment les lois de notre univers se manifestent dans un monde régi par la magie et l'absurdité. Suivez une distribution unique de personnages alors qu'ils explorent la physique, l'astronomie et la nature même de la réalité. C'est un voyage humoristique mais perspicace pour les lecteurs qui apprécient les commentaires spirituels et les concepts scientifiques déroutants présentés à travers une lentille fantastique.
When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. The Universe, of course, is our own. And Roundworld is Earth. As the wizards watch their accidental creation grow, we follow the story of our universe from the primal singularity of the Big Bang to the internet and beyond
Acclaimed The Science of Discworld centred around an original Pratchett story about the wizards of Discworld.
They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. Can the God of Evolution come to humanity's aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book?
The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series deals with the really big questions: God, the Universe and Everything Else. Pratchett's brilliant new Discworld story JUDGEMENT DAY is annotated with very big footnotes (interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, science and philosophy.
