Sinossi
In "Perché E=mc2?" Brian Cox e Jeff Forshaw hanno portato i lettori alla frontiera della scienza del ventunesimo secolo per spiegare e rendere semplice l'equazione più celebre del mondo. Ora, con la stessa chiarezza e un entusiasmo contagioso, si confrontano con la meccanica quantistica, una delle teorie fisiche più affascinanti, ma notoriamente ostica al grande pubblico. Semplicemente: cos'è la meccanica quantistica? Come si lega con le teorie di Newton e di Einstein? E soprattutto, come facciamo a essere certi che sia una teoria valida? Il regno subatomico vanta una reputazione ambigua, sospesa tra la capacità di previsioni concrete e sbalorditive sul mondo che ci circonda, e la genesi d'innumerevoli malintesi. Ne "L'universo quantistico svelato", Cox e Forshaw fanno piazza pulita di ogni confusione, offrendo un approccio illuminante e accessibile al mondo della meccanica quantistica, mostrando non solo cos'è e come funziona, ma anche perché è così importante.

Okay... well first off I should declare that I have a degree in Quantum Physics. And that I was bought this book as a present. Its clearly trying to explain Quantum Theory for 'the layperson' - those that aren't scientists or mathematicians. That's a problem, because Quantum Theory is really rather
If only they could stop with their stupid clocks and use standard terminology like 'amplitude'. Why complicate such a simple concept when there is ample stuff to simplify? Bad grades for that.
This book, irrespective of the complaints from other reviewers, still deserves 5 stars just for successfully deriving Heisenberg's Uncertainty correlation from first principles and moving on from there to explain Quantum theory without using complex mathematics. This book literally walks you through Leggi tutto
Brian Cox has picked up a lot of fans (and a few parodies) for his light and fluffy 'here's me standing on top of a mountain looking at the stars' TV science shows - no doubt a fair number of them will rush out and buy his latest collaboration with Jeff Forshaw. They will be disappointed. So, I susp Leggi tutto
This book gives the real science behind the weird behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up we humans and the universe. There's some difficult passages to read, mostly when the authors refer to winding clocks backwards and forwards, but in general I believe this book is pitched at a level where Leggi tutto
So what was the tipping point that caused me to read a popular book on Quantum Physics (QP) after years of successfully avoiding the topic ? It was running into this Webpost on Quantum Computing and it's video http://nextbigfuture.com/2015/12/evol... . This is less of a review and more of my idea and Leggi tutto
I am, frankly, unsure how much of quantum physics can be conveyed meaningfully without a mathematical description of the subject. Brian and Jeff did a heroic job in keeping maths out of the discussion, and for the most part I think they still managed to deliver interesting insights into the nature o Leggi tutto
