The non-local universe
Classical physics states that physical reality is local, or that a measurement at one point in space cannot cannot influence what occurs at another beyond a fairly short distance. Until recently this seemed like an immutable truth in nature. However,…
Travels in four dimensions
Does time really flow, or is that simply an illusion? Did time have a beginning? What does it mean to say that time has a direction? Does space have boundaries, or is it infinite? Are our space and time unique, or could there be other, parallel…
Ruimte, Tijd, Materie
Hoe de moderne natuurkunde ons voorbij de intuïtie laat kijken.Wat is de samenhang tussen ruimte, tijd en materie? In de twintigste eeuw zijn eeuwenlang gekoesterde ideeën over ruimte, tijd en materie overboord gegaan en bleek de werkelijkheid…
Alice in quantumland
In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland - a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different…
De weg naar de werkelijkheid
Als er nu één boek is dat ik keer op keer opensla om te raadplegen of gewoon om in te bladeren dan is het wel dit monumentale werk van Sir Roger Penrose. Wat een boek! De meesterverteller neemt ons bij de hand en leidt ons van de wiskunde in de…
The road to reality a complete guide to the laws of the Universe
From one of our greatest living scientists, a magnificent book that provides, for the serious lay reader, the most comprehensive and sophisticated account we have yet had of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying mathematical…
Physics for the rest of us
Ten basic ideas of 20th century physics that everyone should know… and how they have shaped our culture and consciousness.
Excellent book on layman physics, without the math.
Understanding Quantum Mechanics
Here Roland Omnès offers a clear, up-to-date guide to the conceptual framework of quantum mechanics. In an area that has provoked much philosophical debate, Omnès has achieved high recognition for his Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (Princeton…
Physics from Fisher information
This book defines and develops a unifying principle of physics, that of 'extreme physical information'. The information in question is, perhaps surprisingly, not Shannon or Boltzmann entropy but, rather, Fisher information, a simple concept little…
Simpelweg Hawking!
In Simpelweg Hawking legt Rüdiger Vaas Stephen Hawkings fascinerende ideeën met veel humor en op toegankelijke wijze uit.Was er ooit een begin of is het heelal er altijd geweest? Kunnen we terugreizen in de tijd? Is er buitenaards leven? Hawking,…
