Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Fifty phenomena from humanity's exploration of nature.Each chapter moves from historical context through the main exposition to rigorous technical analysis.The Banach-Tarski paradox mathematically duplicates spheres. Quantum tunneling powers the sun despite insufficient temperatures. Gold's yellow color comes from relativistic effects at 58% light speed in vacuum. Trees build themselves from thin air, converting CO2 into solid mass. Maxwell's Demon sorts molecules to reverse entropy until information theory intervenes. Topological insulators conduct electricity only on their surfaces. Time dilation from gravity drives apples to fall from trees. The false vacuum could annihilate our universe with zero notice. Cosmic ray muons reach Earth's surface only because clocks tick slower at high velocity.For readers curious enough to want the actual mathematics, tired of science communication that oversimplifies or sensationalizes. Science as it actually is: demanding, complex, but well worth the effort.About the AuthorDavid H. Silver is an industrial researcher bridging science and engineering. With academic education in mathematics, computer science, and life sciences, his published work ranges from biology in Nature to game-show theory in PLoS One. He has held R&D positions at Apple, Intel and Microsoft. He has also served as CTO of several companies, while maintaining academic collaborations worldwide. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Hayes, Jessica DG (ilustrador).…
