In dit succesvolle boek verklaart Chad Orzel basisbegrippen van de natuurkunde, waarbij hij het gedrag van zijn hond Emmy als uitgangspunt neemt. Emmy is niet zo maar een hond! Ze kan praten en ze is gefascineerd door het werk van haar baasje, die professor in de natuurkunde is. Kan ze het tunneleffect gebruiken om door het hek in de tuin van de buren te komen om daar op konijnen te jagen? Hoe zit het met kwantumteleportatie om eekhoorns te kunnen vangen voordat ze hoog in de boom zitten? ...

Your alarm goes off, and you head to the kitchen to make yourself some toast and a cup of coffee. Little do you know, as you savor the aroma of the steam rising from your cup, that your ordinary morning routine depends on some of the weirdest phenomena ever discovered.The world of quantum physics is generally thought of as hopelessly esoteric. While classical physics gives us the laws governing why a ball rolls downhill, how a plane is able to fly, and so on, its q...

Learn the basics of quantum physics with this clever, fun, and lighthearted introduction to modern physics based on a series of conversations with Chad Orzel and his dog Emmy.When physics professor Chad Orzel went to the pound to adopt a dog, he never imagined Emmy. She wasn’t just a friendly mutt who needed a home. Soon she was trying to use the strange ideas of quantum mechanics for the really important things in her life: chasing critters, getting treats, and go...

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But this "witty and clear thinking" (New York Times) book wonders, what about relativity?Physicist Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein’s physics. Through armchair, and sometimes passenger-seat, conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, O...

Kuantum fiziği herhalde en ilginç, en gizemli bilimsel konudur; sevimli bir köpekle yapılan Sokratik bir tartışmanın onun örtüsünü kaldıracağını kim bilebilirdi?Cory DoctorowOrzel'in kuantum fiziğine mizah dolu yaklaşımı nefis; Emmy de bu son derece gizemli mevzunun incelikleri hakkında hepimizin sormak istediklerini soran mükemmel bir köpek.Jennifer OulletteBu küçük çekici kitap modern bilimin en tuhaf v...

When it comes to science, too often people say "I just don't have the brains for it" -- and leave it at that. Why is science so intimidating, and why do people let themselves feel this way? What makes one person a scientist and another disinclined even to learn how to read graphs? The idea that scientists are people who wear lab coats and are somehow smarter than the rest of us is a common, yet dangerous, misconception that puts science on an intimidating pedestal. How did science become s...

Beobachten, Denken, Überprüfen, Mitteilen – warum wir im Grunde alle Wissenschaftler sindDer Physiker Chad Orzel hat eine gute Nachricht für alle, die glauben, Wissenschaft sei nicht „ihr Ding“. Wie er in seinem neuen Buch erläutert, arbeiten wir alle eigentlich jeden Tag wissenschaftlich, auch wenn uns dies oft gar nicht bewusst ist. Denn in der wissenschaftlichen Praxis geht es zwar auch um „harte Fakten“, aber entscheidend sind immer vier Prozesse: Beobachten, D...
