In this brand-new paperback edition, acclaimed science authors John and Mary Gribbin, together with the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, offer a stunning visual tour of the universe that begins on Earth and blasts off for the Moon, the Sun, the Solar System, the Milky Way, and beyond. From the Big Bang[...]

Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. This title explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as in principle.[...]

The quantum computer is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum computers - which, like Schrodi[...]

A mind-blowing glimpse into the near future, where quantum computing will have world-transforming effects.

Boka forteller om livet til vitenskapsmannen Stephen Hawking. Boka gir ett innblikk i både privatlivet til Hawking, og i hans karriere som forsker innenfor teoretisk fysikk og astrofysikk. Den setter vitenskapen inn i en menneskelig sammenheng, og viser hvordan vitenskap og liv er uløselig knytta [...]

Miksi liikenneruuhkia ilmaantuu ilman selkeää syytä? Miksi pörssikurssitheilahtelevat ylös ja alas? Mikä on elämän alkuperä? Jotkin tällaiset systeemit, kuten ammattilaiset niitä nimittävät, ovat niin herkkiä alussa vallitseville olosuhteille, että pieni ero alkusysäyksessä saa aika[...]

In 1972 when James Lovelock first proposed the Gaia hypothesis - the idea that the Earth is a living organism that maintains conditions suitable for life - he was ridiculed by the scientific establishment. Today Lovelock's revolutionary insight, though still extremely controversial, is recognized as[...]

From award-winning science writer John Gribbin, "Science: A History" is the enthralling story of the men and women who changed the way we see the world, and the turbulent times they lived in. From Galileo, tried by the Inquisition for his ideas, to Newton, who wrote his rivals out of the history boo[...]

John Gribbin's "The Universe: A Biography" explores the story of our cosmos, from the mystery of its origins to how scientists think it might end. How did the universe grow from a tiny fireball to its present size? Where did life on earth come from? How do planets form? How will the universe end? An[...]

Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged. Our own galaxy, the Mil[...]

Few areas of current scientific investigation are as intriguing, contentious, or bizarre as physicists' search for a Grand Unified Theory that would unite all the forces and particles of nature in one coherent mathematical package. Since Einsten's time, this "theory of everything" has become the Hol[...]
