Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A century after the complete formulation of quantum mechanics, this book retraces this scientific revolution through its key figures and locations, from the quiet colleges of Cambridge to the cliffs of Helgoland, blending captivating biographies with passionate correspondence in an engaging narrative of this remarkable era in science. Quantum mechanics is the ultimate theory of nature, explaining all fundamental physical interactions. However, it introduces a paradox: rather than offering certainty, it asserts that probability governs the universe. This concept, unprecedented in scientific thought, challenges the foundations of science, philosophy, and epistemology. At its core, quantum mechanics imposes a limit on the precision with which we can measure quantities like a particle's position and velocity, revealing nature's inherent granularity. It also uncovers strange correlations between events that defy common sense, contradicting centuries of classical knowledge, from Newtons laws to the early 20th century. Quantum mechanics introduces inherent ambiguity, rooted in the duality of matter's particle and wave behaviors and the observers influence on measurements. Even Einstein questioned this, famously asking, "Do you really believe the moon isn't there when no one is looking?" God Plays Dice with the World offers a vivid account of the revolutionary shift in science, from early 20th-century challenges to classical physics to the experimental proof of Bell's inequalities. It explores the development of quantum theory, including the wave equation, the Uncertainty Principle, and quantum field theory, while chronicling the golden age of physics, its brilliant minds, and intellectual battles in an engaging and accessible way.

Paperback. Condición: New. 1st ed. 2020. Science, with its inherent tension between the known and the unknown, is an inexhaustible mine of great stories. Collected here are twenty-six among the most enchanting tales, one for each letter of the alphabet: the main characters are scientists of the highest caliber most of whom, however, are unknown to the general public.This book goes from A to Z. The letter A stands for Abel, the great Norwegian mathematician, here involved in an elliptic thriller about a fundamental theorem of mathematics, while the letter Z refers  to Absolute Zero, the ultimate and lowest temperature limit, - 273,15 degrees Celsius, a value that is tremendously cooler than the most remote corner of the Universe: the race to reach this final outpost of coldness is not  yet complete, but, similarly to the history books of polar explorations at the beginning of the 20th century, its pages record successes, failures, fierce rivalries and tragic desperations.  In between the A and the Z, the other letters of the alphabet are similar to the various stages of a very fascinating journey along the paths of science, a journey in the company of a very unique set of  characters as eccentric and peculiar as those in Ulysses by James Joyce: the French astronomer who lost everything, even his mind, to chase the transits of Venus; the caustic Austrian scientist who, perfectly at ease with both the laws of psychoanalysis and quantum mechanics, revealed the hidden secrets of dreams and the periodic table of chemical elements; the young Indian astrophysicist who was the first to understand how a star dies, suffering the ferocious opposition of his mentor for this discovery. Or the Hungarian physicist who struggled with his melancholy in the shadows of the desert of Los Alamos; or the French scholar who was forced to hide her femininity behind a false identity so as to publish fundamental theorems on prime numbers.  And so on and so forth.Twenty-six stories, which reveal the most authentic atmosphere of science and the lives of some of its main players: each story can be read in quite a short period of time -- basically the time it takes to get on and off the train between two metro stations. Largely independent from one another, these twenty-six stories make the book a harmonious polyphony of several voices: the reader can invent his/her own very personal order for the chapters simply by ordering the sequence of  letters differently. For an elementary law of Mathematics, this can give rise to an astronomically large number of possible books -- all the same, but - then again - all different. This book is therefore the ideal companion for an infinite number of real or metaphoric journeys.…
