'Inspirational' Buzz Aldrin When exactly did life begin? What really happened during the big bang - and before it? Is the universe expanding? Is dark matter real? Do we live in one of many worlds? What's more, how can we prove any of this? This book is all about how we - any of us - can gain an understanding of the Universe in all its awe-inspiring glory. Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw take us on an epic journey of scientific exploration, revealing how the biggest questions - from the size of the earth to the distance to the stars - are answerable from our own back gardens. You don't need a Large Hadron Collider or a Hubble Space Telescope to explore the cosmos. You just need this book.

... 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.

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 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.
