Ergebnis für "Lee Smolin" in Alle Kategorien

Die Zukunft der Quantentheorie von einem der führenden Physiker unserer Zeit... Die Quantenphysik ist das Lieblingskind der modernen Wissenschaft. Sie ist das Fundament für unser Verständnis von allem was sich abspielt zwischen den Elementarteilchen bis hin zum Verhalten von Materie aller Art. Die Quantenphysik ist aber auch ein Problemkind: Ihre Erfinder können sich noch nicht einmal ‎auf ihre Grundlagen einigen, sie ist gefangen in seltsamen Paradoxien, und was sie ausmacht, klingt eher erfunden als erforscht.

A daring new vision of quantum theory from one of the leading minds of contemporary physics. In Einstein's Unfinished Revolution, theoretical physicist Lee Smolin provocatively argues that the problems that have bedeviled quantum physics since its inception are unsolved and unsolvable, for the simple reason that the theory is incomplete.

The Trouble with Physics argues that a limited notion of time is holding physics back. It's time for a major revolution in scientific thought. The reality of time could be the key to the next big breakthrough in theoretical physics. What if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they could evolve? Time Reborn offers a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities.

In Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, Lee Smolin provides an accessible overview of the attempts to build a final "theory of everything." He explains in simple terms what scientists are talking about when they say the world is made from exotic entities such as loops, strings, and black holes and tells the fascinating stories behind these discoveries: the rivalries, epiphanies, and intrigues he witnessed firsthand.

In this illuminating book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that fundamental physics - the search for the laws of nature - is losing its way. Ambitious ideas about extra dimensions, exotic particles, multiple universes, and strings have captured the publics imagination -- and the imagination of experts.
