Brian Cox Book order (chronological)

Profesori Brian Cox a Jeff Forshaw vás v tejto fascinujúcej knihe vezmú na vedeckú výpravu naprieč storočím fyziky od čias Einsteina až po Hawkinga a ešte ďalej – až k samotným hraniciam nášho poznania najzáhadnejších výtvorov prírody – čiernych dier. V srdci našej Galaxie je miesto, v ktorom dochádza k búrlivému narušeniu priestoru a času – miesto, kde sa zrážajú zákony gravitácie, kvantovej fyziky a termodynamiky, a jeho tajomstvá stále čakajú na odhalenie. Čierne diery sú 4 miliónkrát väčšie ako Slnko. Ide o prirodzené výtvory gravitácie, ktoré vznikajú, keď sa príliš veľa hmoty zrúti do primalého priestoru. A predsa, hoci ich prírodné zákony predpokladajú, nedokážeme ich opísať. Pôvodne sa dokonca tvrdilo, že neexistujú, a Einstein veril, že v ich vnútri sa skrýva koniec času. V posledných rokoch však výskum značne pokročil a objavilo sa hlboké spojenie medzi gravitáciou a kvantovou teóriou. Vďaka tejto knihe sa oboznámite s čiernymi dierami tak, ako nikdy predtým a dospejete k prekvapivému záveru, že pravda o nich môže byť ešte bizarnejšia, ako sa predpokladalo – možno nás spájajú s inými vesmírmi.

Schwarze Löcher gehören zu den Topthemen der Astronomie und sind aus der Forschung nicht mehr wegzudenken. Das renommierte Autorenduo Brian Cox und Jeff Forshaw (bereits bei KOSMOS erschienen: „Warum ist E = mc2?“, „Mensch und Universum“, „Was wiegt das Universum?“) erklären gewohnt unaufgeregt, leicht verständlich und wissenschaftlich fundiert, was hinter Schwarzen Löchern steckt und wie sie uns dabei helfen könnten, unseren Platz im Universum zu finden.

Černé díry leží tam, kde dříve zářily nejhmotnější hvězdy, v centrech galaxií a na hranici našeho současného chápání. Jsou to přirozeně se vyskytující objekty, nevyhnutelné výtvory gravitace, pokud se příliš mnoho hmoty zhroutí do dostatečně malého prostoru. A i když je naše přírodní zákony předpovídají, nedokážou je zcela popsat. Fyzici věnují celé své kariéry hledání problémů, provádějí experimenty a pátrají po všem, co nelze vysvětlit známými zákony. Na rostoucím počtu černých děr, které objevujeme rozeseté po obloze, je úžasné, že každá z nich je experimentem prováděným Přírodou, který nedokážeme vysvětlit. To znamená, že nám něco hlubokého uniká.

Long-awaited memoir by the legendary star of Succession, Brian Cox.

Every night, above our heads, a drama of epic proportions is playing out. Diamond planets, zombie stars, black holes heavier than a billion Suns. The cast of characters is extraordinary, and each one has its own incredible story to tell. We once thought of our Earth as unique, but we have now discovered thousands of alien planets, and that's barely a fraction of the worlds that are out there. And there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on every planet in the Solar System. But amid all this vastness, the Milky Way Galaxy, our Sun and the Earth are home to the only known life in the Universe - at least for now. With a foreword from Professor Brian Cox, and access to all the latest stunning NASA photography, Andrew Cohen takes readers on a voyage of discovery, via the probes and telescopes exploring the outer reaches of our galaxy, revealing how it was formed and how it will inevitably be destroyed by the enigmatic black hole at its heart. And beyond our galaxy, the expanding Universe, which holds clues to the biggest mystery of all - how did it all begin? We now know more about those first moments of existence than we ever thought possible, and hidden in this story of how it all began are the clues to the fate of the Universe itself and everything in it.

Through the endless leaps of human minds, it explores the extraordinary depth of our knowledge today and where curiosity may lead us in the future. With groundbreaking insight it reveals how time, physics and chemistry came together to create a creature that can wonder at its own existence, blessed with an unquenchable thirst to discover not just where it came from, but how it can think, where it is going and if it is alone. How did life on Earth begin? What is the nature of space and time? What are the chances that we will discover life on other worlds? Forces of Nature takes you from the mid-Atlantic ridge in Iceland, the volcanoes of Indonesia and the precipitous cliffs in Nepal, to the manatees off the coast of Florida and the Northern lights of the Arctic, in search of the fundamental laws that govern our world. These universal laws shape everything, from the structure of snowflakes to the elegant spirals of the galaxies. By seeking to understand the everyday world - the colours, structure, behaviour and history of our home - we can step beyond the everyday and approach the Universe beyond. Think you know our planet?

... a proč by nás to mělo zajímat. Všichni tuto rovnici někdy viděli. Všichni znají i jejího autora. Málokdo však ví, co znamená. A ještě méně lidí chápe, jak k ní od základních fyzikálních principů dojít. Cílem této knihy je rozšířit právě tuto poslední skupinu. Text nás provází od základů klasické mechaniky a intuitivních fyzikálních a geometrických pojmů, přes teorii elektromagnetického pole, speciální a obecnou relativitu, až po standardní model částicové fyziky. Abychom pochopili obsah ústřední rovnice, musíme totiž porozumět významu jednotlivých výrazů, které v ní vystupují. Musíme vědět, co je energie, co je hmotnost a kde se bere a proč je c zrovna rychlostí světla. To vše nám kniha přístupnou formou přiblíží, současně se však autoři nezaleknou ani matematických rovnic. Zároveň ukazují čtenářům, jak se fyzikové dívají na svět. Z celé knihy je cítit radost a potěšení, které autoři zažívají při uvažování o tom, jak vlastně svět ve skutečnosti funguje; poznat je i to, že jde o zkušené vysokoškolské pedagogy, aktivní vědce a mimořádně úspěšné popularizátory v tomto oboru.

What is quantum physics? How does it help us understand our amazing world? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And why, above all, can we be sure that the theory is good? This title gives us the real science behind the bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe, and reveal how everything that can happen, does happen.

The Quantum Universe brings together two authors on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that everyone can understand the deepest questions of science. But just what is quantum physics? How does it help us understand the universe? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And how - for all its apparently counter-intuitive ideas - can we be sure that the theory is good? The bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe has lead to some woolly pronouncements on the nature of all interconnectedness - but Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the simple and understandable theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world around us. From entangled twins to the incredible double-slit experiment, The Quantum Universe will give every reader the most up-to-date picture of that amazing subatomic world, where thousands of years of physics must be rewritten completely

The Wonders of the Solar System - from the giant ice fountains of Enceladus to the liquid methane seas of Titan and from storms twice the size of the Earth to the tortured moon of Io with its giant super-volcanoes - is the solar system as you have never seen it before. It takes us on a journey of discovery where alien worlds from your imagination become places we can see, feel and visit.

The international bestseller: an introduction to the theory of relativity by the eminent physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-first century science to unpack Einstein's famous equation. Explaining and simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light-while exploding commonly held misconceptions-they demonstrate how the structure of nature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, we visit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator capable of re-creating conditions that existed fractions of a second after the Big Bang.A collaboration between one of the youngest professors in the United Kingdom and a distinguished popular physicist, Why Does E=mc2? is one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of the theory of relativity.

Professor Brian Cox is back with another insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space. This time he shows us our universe as we've never seen it before.
