More about the book

Exploring the intricate relationship between temperature, life, and matter, Gino Segrè delves into fundamental scientific concepts while intertwining science and history. He addresses why mammals maintain a stable internal temperature, the role of temperature in geological history, and the significance of absolute zero in understanding superconductivity. Additionally, he examines neutrinos as vital clues from the sun that could illuminate the solar system's origins and fate. Through these inquiries, Segrè offers a unique perspective on our world.
