Explores the synthesis of relativity, cosmology and quantum physics in the earliest milliseconds of our universe, and the development from the perfect symmetry of creation to the highly complex and asymmetric cosmos we inhabit today.
This is one of the most important books on quantum mechanics ever written for general readers. Heinz Pagels, an eminent physicist and science writer, discusses and explains the core concepts of physics without resorting to complicated mathematics.…
Het belangrijkste boek over de moderne natuurkunde dat ooit voor een groot publiek werd geschreven. De Kosmische Code voert ons mee op een fantastische reis naar de microkosmos.
This first full-length biography of Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac offers a comprehensive account of his physics in its historical context, including less known areas such as cosmology and classical electron theory. It is based extensively on unpublished…
At the end of the nineteenth century, some physicists believed that the basic principles underlying their subject were already known, and that physics in the future would only consist of filling in the details. They could hardly have been more wrong.…
For over three millennia, most people could understand the universe only in terms of myth, religion, and philosophy. Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would…
Inleiding tot enkele centrale onderwerpen uit de methodologie en filosofie van de natuurwetenschappen. De auteur bespreekt hoe wetenschappelijke kennis tot stand komt en zich ontwikkeld; hoe de wetenschap de empirische gegevens interpreteert en zo…
