"Breaking down the information into easy, manageable chunks, Super Simple Physics covers everything from atoms to astronomy and from forces to flotation. Each topic is fully illustrated to support the information, make the facts crystal clear, and bring the science to life."--
"In this original and integrated approach to theoretical reasoning in physics, Malcolm Longair illuminates the subject from the perspective of real physics as practised by research scientists. Concentrating on the basic insights, attitudes and techniques that are the tools of th…
This book is the first complete account of the scientific life and work of Edwin Hubble, whose discoveries form the basis of all theories of the evolution of the universe. One of the outstanding astronomers of the twentieth century, Hubble studied the velocities or redshifts of …
Scientists in the past few decades have made crucial discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. But there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. At the Edge o…
The classic big bang theory is great at describing what happened after the bang. Yet until recently, particle physicists and cosmologists were stuck on many questions that the big bang theory couldn't answer, including: What made the big bang BANG in the first place? If matter c…

E. Klein présente les différentes théories scientifiques sur l'origine de l'univers. Il interroge ces modèles cosmologiques actuels et montre qu'ils ne décrivent que des métamorphoses, des structurations, mais sont encore incapables de saisir le passage de l'absence de toute cho…
