Einstein's refrigerator

Einstein's refrigerator

In Einstein's Refrigerator, world-renowned physicist Gino Segrè takes us on an extraordinary tour of our bodies, our planet and ultimately the furthest reaches of the universe, using temperature as a guide." "This elegant, charming fusion of science, culture and the imagination shows how temperature plays a crucial and often surprisIng role in answering our most fundamental questions. It enables us to pinpoint when life began on Earth - and maybe even on other planets. It can be used to measure human progress, from firing the first tools to the quest for absolute zero. and, above all, it is the temperature of our planet that will eventually decide our future
