Mas o que diz a ciência sobre isso? É possível viajar ao passado? O que é preciso para se construir máquinas do tempo? Essas são questões centrais nos ensaios de O futuro do espaço-tempo , que reúne seis artigos assinados por alguns dos maiores especialistas da área. Entre os autores, estão nomes como Stephen W. Hawking, famoso teórico dos buracos negros e escritor de best-sellers mundiais, e Alan Lightman, físico e romancista que publicou Sonhos de Einstein e outros elogiados livros de divulgação científica. Em textos curtos e com o auxílio de ilustrações, os ensaios discutem a viabilidade das viagens no tempo e os aparentes paradoxos que elas poderiam provocar (como, por exemplo, alguém matar o próprio avô). Refletem também sobre as dificuldades de se escrever sobre ciência de ponta para o público leigo. O conjunto aponta as perspectivas para o futuro do conhecimento do universo e os limites aos quais a ciência pode chegar. O futuro do espaço-tempo compõe um quadro fascinante e atual dos maiores desafios que envolvem as pesquisas astrofísicas.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics Ever since Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity burst upon the world in 1915 some of the most brilliant minds of our century have sought to decipher the mysteries bequeathed by that theory, a legacy so unthinkable in some respects that even Einstein himself rejected them. Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.

Introduction by Richard Price. Glossary. Index. This book owes its existence to the Kipfest celebration at Caltech at the beginning of June 2000. A group of leading physicists--Stephen Hawking, Kip S. Thorne, Igor Novikov, Timothy Ferris, and Alan Lightman--paints a vivid portrait of the possible future of black holes, gravity holes, and time travel in six essays that explore the deepest mysteries of the universe. Our minds tell us that some things in the universe must be true. The New Physics tells us that they are not, and in the process, blurs the line between science and science fiction. The essays are: ⢠Richard Price: "An Introduction to Spacetime Physics"; ⢠Stephen Hawking: "Chronology Protection"; ⢠Igor Novikov: "Can We Change the Past?"; ⢠Kip S. Thorne: "Speculations about the Future"; ⢠Timothy Ferris: "On the Popularization of Science"; and ⢠Alan Lightman: "The Physicist as Novelist". The following was derived from a University of Utah New Archive summary by Kate Ferebee. Spacetime "encompasses all locations and all times," Price says. "Prior to Einstein, connecting them seemed to be pointless because time and space were physically distinct. Einstein showed in fact that the two are mixed, much as âforward' and âright' are." He says the physics of spacetime underlies some of the broadest, unsettled questions in science, including "what is time, does the universe have an edge, what is the ultimate fate of everything?" "Up until the early 1960s, the heavens seemed pretty simple," says Price. "Only details needed to be worked out. Then there came quasars, pulsars, gamma ray bursts. It almost seems as if as time goes by, we know less and less about the universe. . Now, around the turn of the millennium, it is appropriate to contemplate what lies ahead in a world in which cutting-edge science opens more questions than it closes." The book stems from a June 3, 2000, celebration of the 60th birthday of Thorne, a Logan, Utah, native who works as a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. The chapters in "The Future of Spacetime" are adapted from popular talks delivered at that celebration. "Because the level of complexity varies from chapter to chapter, the book will appeal to a wide variety of readers," Price says. "This is nothing like a textbook. This may seem highfalutin stuff, but it wouldn't be out of place as beach reading." Price wrote the book's 43-page introduction, which is longer than all but one of the chapters. In it, he provides what he calls "a minimalist sketch of just what it is that physicists do when they say they are working on spacetime." "Relativity, or spacetime physics, with its aura of black holes and an expanding universe, grabs our attention because it is the stuff of daily life - space and time - made exotic, as if the librarian has driven by in a Ferrari wearing a sarong," Price writes in his introduction. "An interest, perhaps an obsession, with the nature of space and time is as old as human thought." Hawking and Novikov "write about time travel and why it is logically possible, but probably physically impossible, although at least one kind of time travel is possible. We all travel forward in time," says Price. "Kip Thorne is on a scouting mission ahead of the rest of us, speculating about what lies ahead in the physical sciences in the next few decades. Alan Lightman and Tim Ferris write about the relationship of this kind of science to the public and to the lives of those who do it." Price's research involves exotic astrophysics, which he defines as "what we believe is out there that depends crucially on Einstein's curved spacetime theory of gravity." In particular, he studies the relationship between black holes and gravitational waves, which are oscillations or "ripples" in spacetime predicted by relativity and generated by violent astrophysical.
