O universo numa casca de noz

release date: Feb 01, 2016
O universo numa casca de noz
MELHOR VISUALIZADO EM TABLETS Após o enorme sucesso de Uma breve história do tempo, a Intrínseca traz a luxuosa reedição de O universo numa casca de noz, na qual Stephen Hawking se vale de ilustrações, fotos e esquemas detalhados para mostrar grandes descobertas no campo da física teórica. Tudo isso, é claro, com sua conhecida clareza, elucidando temas complexos por meio de conceitos e ideias do dia a dia, como a inflação, as cartas de baralho e as linhas ferroviárias, e permeado com seu peculiar senso de humor. O livro traz muito da personalidade de Hawking, um dos maiores nomes da ciência atual e figura bem conhecida por suas ideias provocadoras e seu carisma. Ele guiará o leitor através do microcosmo quântico e do macrocosmo universal, discutindo as extraordinárias leis que regem o cosmos e as principais teorias hoje debatidas — o que também conta a saga de Hawking e dos físicos mais importantes de todos os tempos atrás do grande objetivo da ciência: a Teoria de Tudo. Para isso, serão apresentados conceitos caros à física teórica, como a supergravidade, a teoria quântica, a teoria-M, a holografia e a dualidade. Também são abordadas as propostas mais relevantes que desafiam o nosso entendimento atual de como funciona o universo. Com astronautas engolidos por buracos negros, viajantes do tempo, o debate sobre a origem do universo (e de todos nós), seu possível fim e a existência de vida em outras galáxias, além de curiosos questionamentos sobre o futuro biológico e tecnológico da humanidade em si, O universo numa casca de noz é leitura obrigatória para aqueles que querem se aventurar no que há de mais instigante hoje na física e para os que almejam ver como muitas vezes a teoria pode ser muito mais extraordinária do que a ficção científica. “Provavelmente o melhor livro sobre astrofísica já feito para o leitor comum. Obrigado, dr. Hawking!” Booklist “Hawking sem dúvida possui os dons naturais de um professor: bom humor e a capacidade de ilustrar questões altamente complexas com analogias tiradas da vida cotidiana.” The New York Times Também do autor: Uma breve história do tempo e Minha breve história

Visul lui Einstein si alte eseuri

release date: Jan 18, 2016
Visul lui Einstein si alte eseuri
Stephen Hawking este fizicianul de excepţie care, imobilizat într-un cărucior, suferind din tinereţe de sindromul lateral amiotrofic, ţine legătura cu lumea printr-un calculator care „vorbeşte“ în locul lui. Ceea ce nu-l împiedică să se afle, prin studiile sale, în avangarda cercetărilor privind spaţiul, timpul, originea universului şi particulele elementare. Marele succes al cărţilor sale de popularizare Scurtă istorie a timpului şi Universul într-o coajă de nucă a schimbat perspectiva publicului asupra întrebărilor esenţiale ale fizicii. Volumul de faţă, superbă lecţie de gândire creatoare, conţine deopotrivă pagini autobiografice şi eseuri ştiinţifice. Cartea se încheie cu un interviu al cărui punct de pornire e muzica: ce discuri ar lua Hawking cu el pe o insulă pustie?... „Nu sunt de acord cu punctul de vedere că universul este un mister, despre care am putea avea numai intuiţii, fără a-l putea însă analiza sau înţelege vreodată în întregime.“ (Stephen W. HAWKING)

Minun lyhyt historiani
Maailman kuuluisimman tiedemiehen omaelämäkerta Kosmologi Stephen Hawkingin teoriat ovat muuttaneet käsitystämme universumin historiasta. Nyt maailman kuuluisin tiedemies kertoo oman tarinansa. Kun Stephen Hawkingilla todettiin 21-vuotiaana hermostoa tuhoava ALS-oireyhtymä, hänen ennustettiin kuolevan pian. Hawking ei kuollut, vaan kehitti mullistavat teoriansa maailmankaikkeuden synnystä ja luonteesta. Elämäkerrassaan 72-vuotias Hawking kertoo hauskasti ja avoimesti elämänsä ja ajattelunsa kehityksestä ja käännekohdista; ei vähiten siitä miten tietoisuus oman elämän rajallisuudesta on ajanut häntä eteenpäin mahdottomilta tuntuvien henkilökohtaisten ja tieteellisten haasteiden edessä. Stephen Hawking (s.1942) on brittiläinen tiedemies, jonka teoriat ajan ja aineen perimmäisestä luonteesta ovat mullistaneet modernia maailmankuvaamme. Suuren yleisön tietoisuuteen Hawking nousi vuonna 1988 suomeksi julkaistulla kirjallaan Ajan lyhyt historia, joka esittelee kosmologian peruskäsitteitä ja Hawkingin omaa ajattelua. Sittemmin monet Hawkingin teorioista ovat saaneet empiiristä vahvistusta, kuten hänen ennustuksensa mustien aukkojen olemassaolosta. Hawkingin elämään perustuva draamaelokuva Theory of Everything saa Suomen ensi-iltansa helmikuussa 2015.

Min historia
Stephen Hawking har under årtionden fängslat läsare världen över med sina bästsäljande böcker där han beskriver universums mysterier. Han har fått miljoner människor att lockas av tankarna på Big Bang, svarta hål och universums uppkomst. Hans böcker har översatts till 40 språk och sålt i miljontals exemplar och han har uppnått ikonstatus redan under sin livstid. Med sin självbiografi bjuder han för första gången in läsaren till sitt eget liv och man får komma nära en av vår tids absolut skarpaste hjärnor. I boken får man följa Hawkings fascinerande livsöde, från barndomen i efterkrigstidens London via studier i Oxford och Cambridge till hans internationella genombrott och världsberömmelse. Hawking beskriver på ett ödmjukt och humoristiskt sätt sin intellektuella utveckling och läsaren får följa både hans yrkeskarriär och hans privatliv. Hawking drabbades av nervsjuku00addomen ALS vid tjugoett års ålder, och trodde att han bara hade några få år kvar att leva. Mot alla odds har han överlevt, och fortsatt att bidra med hisnande vetenskapliga upptäckter. Det är en liten pärla till memoarbok, illustrerad med en mängd fina svartvita bilder från hela Hawkings liv, vilket ytterligare levandegör ett av vår tids mest fascinerande livsöden. Hawking har skrivit boken helt själv, trots att han är nästan totalt förlamad. Med hjälp av nyutvecklade avancerade tekniska hjälpmedel kan han använda käkmusklerna till att forma ord och meningar.

Minha breve história
Stephen Hawking conquistou leitores de todo o mundo com best-sellers que explicam os mistérios do universo. Agora, pela primeira vez, um dos mais brilhantes cosmologistas de nossos tempos volta o olhar para sua própria história de vida e evolução intelectual. Minha breve história conta a improvável trajetória de Hawking, desde a infância na Londres do pós-guerra até o reconhecimento científico internacional. Com fotos pessoais, raramente publicadas, este relato conciso e divertido — o primeiro escrito inteiramente pelo autor, sem a ajuda de terceiros, desde Uma breve história do tempo — apresenta o leitor a um Hawking quase nunca vislumbrado nos livros anteriores: o estudante curioso que foi apelidado de Einstein; o brincalhão que já apostou com um colega sobre a existência de um buraco negro; e o jovem marido e pai lutando para alcançar prestígio no mundo da física e da cosmologia. Com simplicidade e bom humor, Hawking discorre sobre os desafios que precisou enfrentar após o diagnóstico de esclerose lateral amiotrófica aos 21 anos. Ao contar sobre o desenvolvimento de sua carreira, ele explica que a ideia de uma morte prematura o instou a se dedicar com mais afinco às descobertas intelectuais e fala sobre a origem de sua obra-prima, Uma breve história do tempo, um dos livros mais importantes do século XX. Perspicaz, íntimo e inteligente, Minha breve história abre uma janela para o universo pessoal de Hawking. “Stephen Hawking tem um cérebro invejável, que o permite ver e entender coisas inalcançáveis para a maioria de nós. E ainda possui uma modéstia admirável.” Daily Mail “Em um livro comovente, Hawking nos fala diretamente a partir do buraco negro de sua condição física, sem a ampliação e a elaboração fornecidas pelos coautores com os quais ele escreveu seus últimos livros.” Financial Times “As palavras de um homem que, diante da perspectiva de uma morte prematura, fez muito com a vida.” The Guardian

My Brief History
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of bestsellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution. My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology. Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time—one of the iconic books of the twentieth century. Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking’s personal cosmos.

Ajan lyhyt historia
Alkuräjähdyksestä mustiin aukkoihin! Aikamme kuuluisin fyysikko kertoo pääteoksessaan seikkaperäisesti, miten nykyinen maailmankuvamme on muodostunut.Stephen W. Hawking on vuosisatamme merkittävimpiä tiedemiehiä. Ajan lyhyen historian Hawking kirjoitti meille tavallisille ihmisille, jotta mekin voisimme perehtyä tieteen nykyisiin käsityksiin ajan luonteesta ja maailmankaikkeuden rakenteesta. Hawking kertoo seikkaperäisesti, miten nykyinen maailmankuvamme on kehittynyt aiempien käsitysten pohjalta yhä täydellisemmäksi ja samalla pääsemme tutustumaan huippututkijan ajatuksenkulkuihin.Hawking johdattelee lukijan syvän avaruuden kaukaisiin galakseihin ja mustiin aukkoihin. Samalla tutustumme myös äärimmäisen pienten kvarkkien makuihin ja väreihin , antimateriaan, hiukkasten spineihin ja erityyppisten aikojen erilaisiin suuntiin ja kuin huomaamatta olemme tempautuneet tähän kiehtovaan maailmaan.Yksi Hawkingin hätkähdyttävistä päätelmistä on, että reunaton maailmankaikkeuden malli saattaakin panna yleisesti hyväksytyn alkuräjähdysteorian viralta. Samalla hän asettaa Jumalan aseman kaiken luojana vähintäänkin kyseenalaiseksi.

La naturaleza del espacio y el tiempo

La naturaleza del espacio y el tiempo
Un interesante y fascinante debate entre dos gigantes de la ciencia, Stephen Hawking y Roger Penrose, sobre el origen y el futuro del universo. Einstein afirmaba que lo más incomprensible acerca del universo es que es comprensible. ¿Estaba en lo cierto? ¿Pueden la teoría cuántica de campos y la teoría de la relatividad general de Einstein, las dos teorías, más precisas y exitosas de toda la física, unirse en una única teoría cuántica de la gravedad? Aunque se ha avanzado mucho en esta búsqueda, Hawking y Penrose insisten en que es necesario llegar mucho más lejos. En La naturaleza del espacio y el tiempo, estos dos gigantes de la física entablan un debate fundamental sobre el origen del universo. Un libro escrito a cuatro manos, con un epílogo actualizado, en el que los autores resumen cómo los recientes acontecimientos han provocado que sus posturas difieran en cuestiones tan importantes como la geometría espacial del universo o la paradoja de la desaparición de información en los agujeros negros. La prensa especializada opina... «Una obra reveladora sobre dos aproximaciones distintas a algunos de los mayores problemas sin resolver de la gravitación y la cosmología.» New Scientist «Un debate entre Hawking y Penrose alimenta las expectativas del lector por asistir a un intercambio extraordinario de ideas. En este texto, animado con el sentido del humor de Hawking, las expectativas se cumplen con creces.» The Higher Education «Un magnífico y estimulante intercambio intelectual entre dos mentes de primera categoría.» Library Journal «Una lectura interesantísima para el presente que promete ser aún más interesante para las futuras generaciones de físicos.» Science «Un documento de gran rigor científico.» Physics World

Black Holes and Baby Universes
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thirteen extraordinary essays shed new light on the mystery of the universe—and on one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time. “[Hawking] sprinkles his explanations with a wry sense of humor and a keen awareness that the sciences today delve not only into the far reaches of the cosmos, but into the inner philosophical world as well.”—The New York Times Book Review In his phenomenal bestseller A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking literally transformed the way we think about physics, the universe, reality itself. In these thirteen essays and one remarkable extended interview, the man widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein returns to reveal an amazing array of possibilities for understanding our universe. Building on his earlier work, Hawking discusses imaginary time, how black holes can give birth to baby universes, and scientists’ efforts to find a complete unified theory that would predict everything in the universe. With his characteristic mastery of language, his sense of humor and commitment to plain speaking, Stephen Hawking invites us to know him better—and to share his passion for the voyage of intellect and imagination that has opened new ways to understanding the very nature of the cosmos.

El gran diseño (caja)
La esperada gran obra tras casi una década de uno de los grandes pensadores de nuestro tiempo.Aun antes de aparecer, este libro ha venido precedido, en todos los medios de comunicación, de una extraordinaria polémica sobre sus conclusiones: que tanto nuestro universo como los otros muchos universos posibles surgieron de la nada, porque su creación no requiere de la intervención de ningún Dios o ser sobrenatural, sino que todos los universos proceden naturalmente de las leyes físicas. En efecto, en los últimos años, el desarrollo de la teoría “M” (en realidad toda una familia de teorías enlazadas sobre física cuántica) y las recientes observaciones realizadas por los satélites de la NASA, nos permiten ya enfrentarnos a la pregunta fundamental: la Cuestión Última de la Vida, el Universo y el Todo. Si esta teoría última es verificada por la observación científica, habremos culminado una búsqueda que se remonta a hace más de tres mil años: habremos hallado el Gran Diseño.

The Grand Design

The Grand Design
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A whirlwind tour of fundamental physics and cosmology.”—The Wall Street Journal “Fascinating . . . a wealth of ideas [that] leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity.”—Los Angeles Times When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent “grand design” of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation? In The Grand Design, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most illuminating scientific thinking about these and other abiding mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by brilliance and simplicity. According to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history. The authors explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the early universe and show how quantum theory predicts the “multiverse”—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a “theory of everything”: the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, which, if confirmed, would represent the ultimate triumph of human reason. A succinct, startling, and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, The Grand Design is a book that will inform—and provoke—like no other.

L' Univers dans une coquille de noix
Après Une brève histoire du temps et Trous noirs et bébés univers, Stephen Hawking fait le point sur les stupéfiantes percées théoriques qui ont eu lieu depuis la publication de son précédent livre. Avec le style à la fois érudit et accessible qui le caractérise, il nous fait découvrir tour à tour la relativité einsteinienne, le principe d''incertitude, la mécanique quantique, les cinq théories des cordes, la théorie M et les mystérieuses p-branes -voie d''accès, peut-être, au Graal de la physique : la " théorie de tout ". Nous faisant partager l''enthousiasme croissant de la communauté scientifique, il nous guide, telle Alice au pays des merveilles, à travers un univers à onze dimensions qui ne correspond peut-être qu''à l''une des innombrables histoires alternatives dans lesquelles les trous noirs s''évaporent, les supercordes s''enroulent sur elles-mêmes et des univers parallèles se contractent jusqu''à disparaître. Stephen Hawking est professeur à l''Université de Cambridge, où il occupe la chaire jadis détenue par Isaac Newton.
