L'univers quantique : Tout ce qui peut arriver arrive...

Est-ce que quelqu'un comprend quelque chose à la mécanique quantique? Malgré les efforts d'un grand nombre de vulgarisateurs ou de pédagogues, ce domaine de la physique reste confus et contre-intuitif pour les non-spécialistes. Brian Cox et Jeff Forshaw entreprennent dans cet ouvrage de démystifier les théories de la physique quantique. L'histoire commence avec l'hypothèse de Max Planck au tournant du XIXe siècle qui postule que l'énergie d'un corps chaud est constituée de "quanta". Cox et Forshaw explorent ensuite plus d'un siècle de découvertes et de questionnements, jusqu'au fameux boson de higgs, clé de voûte du modèle standard décrivant la matière à son niveau le plus élémentaire.
Grand format 19.90 €''So staggering you go ''whoa!'' every few seconds'' Guardian ''Really impressive'' Eamonn Holmes, ITV This Morning A companion book to the critically acclaimed BBC series. The bestselling authors of Wonders of the Universe are back with another blockbuster, a groundbreaking exploration of our Solar System as it has never been seen before.

Mars, the red planet, doomed by the loss of its atmosphere. Jupiter, twice the size of all the other planets combined, but insubstantial. Saturn, a stunning celestial beauty, the jewel of our Solar System. Uranus, the sideways planet and the first ice giant. Neptune, dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds. Pluto, the dwarf planet, a frozen rock. Andrew Cohen and Professor Brian Cox take readers on a voyage of discovery, from the fiery heart of our Solar System, to its mysterious outer reaches. They touch on the latest discoveries that have expanded our knowledge of the planets, their moons and how they come to be, alongside recent stunning and mind-boggling NASA photography.

E=mc2 est certainement la formule mathématique la plus connue au monde et pourtant peu savent ce qu'elle signifie exactement. Cet ouvrage explore la signification profonde de la fameuse équation d'Einstein et répond en termes simples aux questions qu'elle pose: qu'est-ce que l'énergie ? Qu'est-ce que la masse ? Qu'est-ce que la vitesse de la lumière a à voir avec elles ? Pour pénétrer les mystères de la matière, les auteurs nous entraîne au coeur du LHC, ce gigantesque acélérateur de particules situé près de Genève qui doit recréer les conditions de la naissance de l'univers. Au terme de leur enquête, vous comprendrez enfin pourquoi le monde est ce qu'il est !
Grand format 18.90 €What is quantum physics? How does it help us understand our amazing world? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And why, above all, can we be sure that the theory is good? This title gives us the real science behind the bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe.
Grand format 11.78 €An awe-inspiring, unforgettable journey of scientific exploration from Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, the top ten bestselling authors of The Quantum Universe . We dare to imagine a time before the Big Bang, when the entire Universe was compressed into a space smaller than an atom. And now, as Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw show, we can do more than imagine: we can understand. Over the centuries, the human urge to discover has unlocked an incredible amount of knowledge. What it reveals to us is breathtaking. Universal takes us on an epic journey of scientific exploration and, in doing so, reveals how we can all understand some of the most fundamental questions about our Earth, Sun, Solar System and the star-filled galaxies beyond. Some of these questions - How big is our solar system? How fast is space expanding? - can be answered from your back garden; the answers to others - How big is the Universe? What is it made of? - draw on the astonishing information now being gathered by teams of astronomers operating at the frontiers of the known universe. At the heart of all these questions - from the earliest attempts to quantify gravity, to our efforts to understand what dark matter is and what really happened at the birth of our universe - is the scientific process. Science reveals a deeper beauty, connects us to each other, to our world, and to our Universe; and, by understanding the groundbreaking work of others, reaches out into the unknown. What's more, as Universal shows us, if we dare to imagine, we can all do it.
Grand format 23.58 €The nation's favourite scientist looks at the origins of life in our Universe. For somehow the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars and wonder where it came from.
