  • Quantum Space

    Loop Quantum Gravity and the Search for the Structure of Space, Time, and the Universe

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Combining clear discussions of both quantum theory and general relativity, this book offers one of the first efforts to explain the new quantum theory of space and time. Today we are blessed with two extraordinarily successful theories of physics. The first is Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the large-scale behaviour of matter in a curved spacetime. This theory is ... Leer más

  • Higgs:The invention and discovery of the 'God Particle'

    The invention and discovery of the 'God Particle'

    de Jim Baggott ...
    The hunt for the Higgs particle has involved the biggest, most expensive experiment ever. So exactly what is this particle? Why does it matter so much? What does it tell us about the Universe? Has the discovery announced on 4 July 2012 finished the search? And was finding it really worth all the effort?The short answer is yes. The Higgs field is proposed as the way in which particles gain mass - a ... Leer más

  • Higgs

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Het relaas van de belangrijkste ontdekking van de 21ste eeuw In 1964 al voorspelde onze landgenoot François Englert het bestaan van het higgspartikel. Toch duurde het nog bijna 50 jaar vooraleer het godsdeeltje daadwerkelijk werd gevonden. De 'ontdekking' ervan op 4 juli 2012 was wereldwijd voorpaginanieuws. Maar wat is het higgspartikel, cruciaal voor het standaardmodel van de deeltjesfysica, ... Leer más

  • Quantum Drama

    From the Bohr-Einstein Debate to the Riddle of Entanglement

    The definitive account of the great Bohr-Einstein debate and its continuing legacy. In 1927, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began a debate about the interpretation and meaning of the new quantum theory. This would become one of the most famous debates in the history of science. At stake were an understanding of the purpose, and defense of the integrity, of science. What (if any) limits should we ... Leer más

  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Leer más

  • Origins

    The Scientific Story of Creation

    de Jim Baggott ...
    What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is the nature of the material world? How does it work? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang ... Leer más

  • Mass

    The quest to understand matter from Greek atoms to quantum fields

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Everything around us is made of 'stuff', from planets, to books, to our own bodies. Whatever it is, we call it matter or material substance. It is solid; it has mass. But what is matter, exactly? We are taught in school that matter is not continuous, but discrete. As a few of the philosophers of ancient Greece once speculated, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, matter comes in 'lumps', and ... Leer más

  • The Quantum Story:A history in 40 moments

    A history in 40 moments

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Series series Oxford Landmark Science
    The twentieth century was defined by physics. From the minds of the world's leading physicists there flowed a river of ideas that would transport mankind to the pinnacle of wonderment and to the very depths of human despair. This was a century that began with the certainties of absolute knowledge and ended with the knowledge of absolute uncertainty. It was a century in which physicists developed ... Leer más

  • La particule de Dieu

    A la découverte du Boson de Higgs

    de Jim Baggott ...
    De quoi le monde est-il constitué? Des questions aussi simples que celle-ci ont taraudé l'esprit de l'Homme depuis les origines. Même si les raisonnements sont devenus de plus en plus complexes au fil du temps, au fond, cette question centrale reste très basique.Ce livre raconte la quête des scientifiques pour élaborer un modèle permettant d'expliquer la structure de la matière à son niveau le ...

  • 上帝的粒子:希格斯玻色子的發明與發現

    Higgs: The Invention and Discovery of the ‘God Particle’

    Series series 貓頭鷹書房
    若二十世紀最重要的科學是相對論,無庸置疑,二十一世紀就是希格斯玻色子!◎首本最完整的希格斯玻色子傳記◎諾貝爾物理學獎得主溫伯格親自作序耗資數十億美元、集結上千科學家、尋找長達五十年——希格斯玻色子究竟是什麼?「標準模型」是一套解釋宇宙萬物物質組成與交互作用的模型,是目前最接近能夠完整理解宇宙的物理理論。然而,這個模型有個巨大的缺陷:它無法解釋質量與重力從何而來。在這個模型發展的百年間,包括楊振寧、溫伯格等歷屆諾貝爾物理學獎得主都曾試圖解決這個問題。希格斯玻色子——解釋質量之謎的最後一塊拼圖?一九六四年,希格斯提出了一個新的量子機制,解釋標準模型理論的質量問題。這個理論後來被稱為「希格斯機制」,其中強調世界萬物之所以有質量,都來自希格斯玻色子與基礎粒子間的互動。無所不在,卻神祕難尋的粒子但在往後的近五十年間,科學家始終無法偵測到它存在的證據。為了尋找神祕的希格斯玻色子,歐洲核子研究組織 ...

  • Farewell to Reality

    How Fairytale Physics Betrays the Search for Scientific Truth

    de Jim Baggott ...
    Modern physics is heady stuff. It seems that barely a week goes by without some new astounding science story; some revelation about hidden dimensions, multiple universes, the holographic principle or incredible cosmic coincidences. But is it true? What evidence do we have for super-symmetric squarks', or superstrings vibrating in an 11-dimensional space-time? How do we know that we live in a ... Leer más

  • A Beginner's Guide to Reality

    de Jim Baggott ...
    A Beginner's Guide to Reality is an introduction to philosophy for people who don't read philosophy. Jim Baggott's sources range from Aristotle to The Matrix. He examines the major developments in Western philosophical thought on the nature of reality, at each of three levels - social, perceptual and physical. (Do money, colour, or photons exist?) The book systematically investigates these levels, ... Leer más
