When We Split the Atom: The Science of Everything Series: 7 - Tapa blanda

When We Split the Atom (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "The Day We Sneezed on the Universe" There are moments in history when humanity takes something apart just to see what's inside - like toddlers with cosmic screwdrivers. Splitting the atom was one of those moments. We didn't just crack a tiny shell; we cracked open the blueprint of reality itself, peeked inside, and promptly used it to vaporize a few cities and power a thousand toasters. Progress, in short, got complicated. "When We Split the Atom" is not just a story of physics; it's a story of philosophy, panic, ego, and paperwork. It's how invisible math became mushroom clouds, how a handful of scientists accidentally became world celebrities (and some, world destroyers), and how energy once trapped in the heart of matter escaped into human politics, pop culture, and anxiety disorders. This isn't a moral lecture or a physics textbook - it's a guided tour through the age when humans realized they could unmake the universe and immediately said, "Cool, can we make coffee with it?" It's also funny, because the alternative is existential dread. This item is printed on demand.
