Hardback. Zustand: Good. Time travel involves concentrations of matter and gravity that are black holes. Among other properties, a black hole is a place where time literally comes to a stop - an edge of time. This book takes the reader over that edge, to a place where time runs backwards and rules no longer apply.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An enthralling and delightful introduction to the strange world of quantum theory, an essential element in understanding modern society "A gripping account of the history of quantum mechanics and a clear description of its significance--and weirdness. Absolutely fascinating."--Isaac Asimov The question this book addresses is "What is reality?" The answer(s) may surprise you; you may not believe them. But you will find out how contemporary science views the world. Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering--at all. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the complete story of quantum mechanics, a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin takes us step by step into an ever more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the scientists who developed quantum theory. He investigates the atom, radiation, time travel, the birth of the universe, superconductors, and life itself. And in a world full of its own delights, mysteries, and surprises, he searches for Schrödinger's Cat--a search for quantum reality--as he brings every reader to a clear understanding of the most important area of scientific study today: quantum physics.…

Zustand: acceptable. This copy has clearly been enjoyedâ"expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover. Binding is strong, and all pages are legible. May contain previous library markings or stamps.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Since Einstein's time, a "theory of everything" -- one coherent mathematical model that would encompass all the forces and particles of nature -- has become the Holy Grail of physics, and its pursuit has resulted in some of the most extraordinary ideas in the history of science. This invaluable primer at last enables all of us to understand these ideas. John Gribbin provides a brief, succinct, accessible overview of the hundred-year saga of particle physics, explaining everything from the basics (how subatomic particles work) to the cutting-edge research that has produced dazzling new models of the universe, among them the radical theories of "superstrings" -- the hypothesis that particles are loops of vibrating "string" -- and "supersymmetry".…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nobody understands quantum theory, said Richard Feynman, and in the 1980s that was true. Now John Gribbin presents exciting new evidence about the nature of light that pulls together quantum theory and relativity theory into a coherent explanation of reality - solving the quantum mysteries. John Gribbin's bestselling In Search of Schrodinger's Cat, heralded as absolutely fascinating by Isaac Asimov, was the first book to present the quantum's many riddles. Now he returns with Schrodinger's kittens, the offspring of his famously indeterminate cat. As a way of visualizing the many perplexing paradoxes of the new view of reality, Gribbin carries them to opposite ends of the universe, where their fate is determined by signals that travel faster than light and backwards in time. Elsewhere in the mysterious quantum world there are photons capable of being in two places at the same time. All this has much more than just theoretical interest. The practical applications are equally astounding. They provide for the serious possibility that quantum theory could eventually be used to develop a Star Trek-style teleportation machine, and how it has already found applications in uncrackable codes.…
