Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy. An eager, ambitious book. A stimulating, accessible introduction to scientific theory." ? ? Dallas Morning News " An enjoyably quick-paced interdisciplinary survey of the outer limits of scientific thought." ? ? Kirkus Reviews " Siegfried weaves a provocative and convincing argument. . . . Recommended for an informed audience." ? ? Library Journal " An excellent introduction to the myriad small worlds that can be teased out of our big one." ? ? Publishers Weekly " A volume of remarkable sweep." ? ? Booklist Now in paperback, The Bit and the Pendulum explores the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information: everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information.Award-winning author Tom Siegfried interviews top scientists- all using " bits" to solve the seemingly unsolvable- and provides a high accessible introduction to a fundamentally new way of seeing the world. Lively, engaging, and topical, The Bit and the Pendulum shows how the computer and the " bit" are revealing secrets of the brain, the nature of matter, and the workings of the universe.

Kartoniert / Broschiert. Zustand: New. An award-winning science journalist argues that the most important frontier for science in the 21st century is the new physics of information which is leading the way to new understandings in a broad range of areas, from how the DNA code controls how cell.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Is all life up of yes-no, heads-tails decisions Is the computer, with its binary 0-1 'bits' of information, our best model yet for describing the universe The author offers a fascinating introduction to the hot new physics of information. He takes us on a thrilling journey from quantum teleportation, to DNA computing, to the insides of black holes and other cosmological puzzles. Siegfried interviews top scientists - biologists working with the mathematics of DNA, quantum physicists studying quantum cryptography, and neuroscientists mapping the mysterious working brain - all using the mysteries of information science to solve the seemingly unsolvable.Lively, engaging, and topical, this book shows how the computer and the 'bit' are revealing secrets of the brain, the nature of matter, and the working of the universe.; Information ist alles - Alles ist Information! Der erfolgreiche populärwissenschaftliche Autor Tom Siegfried vertritt in diesem aufregenden und unterhaltsamen, dabei fachlich exakten Band seine radikal neue Theorie: Die Materie besteht nicht aus Elementarteilchen, sondern aus Informationseinheiten! Wird man in naher Zukunft Objekte teleportieren können Leiten superschnelle Quantencomputer eine neue Revolution der Informationstechnik ein Ist unser Universum nur eines unter unendlich vielen anderen Dieser und einer Fülle weiterer bewegender Fragen widmet sich der Autor in lebendiger, engagierter Weise.
