Description
Un recorrido por la historia de la ciencia a partir de sus diez descubrimientos ms importantes para asi entender y saber explicar las diez predicciones fundamentales de las matemtica y la fsica. Qu sintieron los grandes cientficos de la historia en el momento en que alcanzaron sus grandes descubrimientos? Cmo llegaron al instante mgico en el que sus predicciones se hicieron realidad?
Este increble viaje de la prediccin a la prueba nos transporta desde laboratorios ubicados en Pars y Cambridge hasta el frente ruso devastado por la guerra, pasando por bnkeres construidos bajo reactores nucleares y enormes tneles subterreos en la frontera suizo-francesa. Desde el electromagnetismo hasta las ondas gravitacionales de Einstein y el escurridizo neutrino de Wolfgang Pauli, el aclamado escritor y cientfico Marcus Chown nos acompaa en un recorrido impresionante por los avances de la fsica moderna, detenindose en ese instante mgico en el que las matemticas y la fsica, de la mano de sus ms brillantes representantes, cambiaron para siempre la historia de la ciencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Marcus Chown rocks!' Brian May
How does it feel to know something about the universe that no one has ever known before? And why is mathematics so magically good at revealing nature's secrets?
This is the story of the magicians the scientists who, using mathematics, predicted the existence of unknown planets, black holes, invisible force fields, ripples in the fabric of space-time, unsuspected subatomic particles, and even antimatter. The journey from prediction to proof transports us from seats of learning in Paris and Cambridge to the war-torn Russian front, to bunkers beneath nuclear reactors, observatories in Berlin and California, and huge tunnels under the Swiss-French border. From electromagnetism to Einstein's gravitational waves to Wolfgang Pauli's elusive neutrino, acclaimed science writer Marcus Chown takes us on a breathtaking, mind-altering tour of the major breakthroughs of modern physics and highlights science's central mystery: its astonishing predictive power. Praise for Marcus Chown:
'What good popular science writing is all about.' Jim Al-Khalili 'Pretty wonderful.' Richard Dawkins 'Entertaining and at times mind-boggling.' The Times
