The Simplest-Case Scenario: How the Universe May Be Very Different From What We Think It Is - Tapa blanda

The Simplest-Case Scenario (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Toward the end of his life, the great 20th-century physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed an idea he called "it from bit": The universe, he claimed, isn't ultimately composed of matter and energy, or fields and forces, or space and time, but instead, digital bits of information. Scientists have been intrigued by this conjecture for decades, but no one has known where to start building such a radical theory. The Simplest-Case Scenario is a tour of physics and philosophy with stops at relativity, quantum mechanics, the multiverse, probability, chaos theory, fractals, the Big Bang, the origin of life, and human and animal consciousness - leading to a unified picture in which the Cosmos is far, far simpler than we think. Based on a prize-winning physics essay. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781537745923
