How many bananas would it take to give you radiation sickness? Can human beings really spontaneously combust? What's the strongest acid ever made? An exploration of the periodic table in its final form, Elemental answers these questions and more.

How the Periodic Table Can Now Explain (Nearly) Everything

How Quantum Mechanics Explains Absolutely Everything

Fundamental

Die Bausteine, aus denen unsere Welt gemacht ist Welche Flüssigkeit kann sich durch eine Mauer hindurchbewegen? Was ist das chemische Symbol für Menschlichkeit? Und welches ist die stärkste Säure, die je hergestellt wurde? Diese und viele andere Fragen mehr beantwortet das Periodensystem: Mit viel Detailwissen und Faszination sowie einer guten Portion Humor zeigt uns der passionierte Naturwissenschaftler Tim James, was wir daraus für unser alltägliches Leben lernen können. Vor rund 14 Milliarden Jahre bestand unser Universum aus einer endlosen Partikelsuppe, die vor sich hin schäumte, viele Male heißer als die Sonne. Als es sich dann ausweitete, kühlte die Suppe glücklicherweise ab und die Partikel festigten sich – die Elemente wurden geboren. Heute gibt es davon 118, und wir sind in der Lage, alle Zutaten, die unsere Welt ausmachen, zu identifizieren. In seinem Buch erzählt der leidenschaftliche Chemie-Experte Tim James die Geschichte des Periodensystems, von seinen Anfängen im Alten Griechenland bis hin zu den Alchemisten der Gegenwart. Auf informative und unterhaltsame Weise zeigt er uns, wie diese abstrakte und scheinbar durcheinandergewürfelte Grafik unser Leben bestimmt und wie die Substanzen darin unsere Welt schaffen.

Fundamental does for physics what Tim's first book, Elemental, does for chemistry: it demystifies the topic in his trademark humorous, engaging style, including the most recent developments in the field. At the start of the twentieth century, science appeared complete and the laws of nature were almost all discovered, but then we woke a sleeping giant - we discovered quantum mechanics. In the quantum realm, objects can be in two places at once. It's a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It's a place where cause and effect can happen in reverse and observing something changes its state. From parallel universes to antimatter, quantum mechanics has revealed that when you get right down to it, the laws of nature are insane. The scientist J. B. S. Haldane once said, 'Reality is not only stranger than we imagine . . . it's stranger than we can imagine.' Never is this more true than with quantum mechanics; our best, most recent attempt to make sense of the fundamental laws of nature. Fundamental is a comprehensive beginner's guide to quantum mechanics, explaining not only the weirdness of the subject but the experiments that proved it to be true. Using a humorous and light-hearted approach, Fundamental tells the story of how the most brilliant minds in science grappled with seemingly impossible ideas and gave us everything from microchips to particle accelerators. Fundamental gives clear explanations of all the quantum phenomena known to modern science, without requiring an understanding of complex mathematics; tells the eccentric stories of the scientists who made these shattering discoveries and what they used them for; explains how quantum field theory (a topic not covered in detail by any other popular-science book) gave rise to particle physics and why the Higgs boson isn't the end of the story.

Le Big Bang prouve-t-il l'existence de Dieu ? Dans quoi l'Univers se développe-t-il ? La Terre est-elle la seule planète abritant la vie ? Pourquoi le plus grand astronome de l'histoire a-t-il tué son élan de compagnie ? Saviez-vous qu'il neige du métal sur Vénus, qu'il y a des lacs souterrains sur Mars et des rivières de pétrole sur Titan ? L'espace est l’objet le plus grand, le plus ancien, le plus chaud, le plus froid et le plus étrange qu'un humain puisse étudier. Dans Magique Cosmos, Tim James nous emmène faire un tour de l'univers connu (et inconnu), tout en déballant les dernières théories sur ce qui s’y passe réellement. Il nous fait découvrir la science de l'espace dans ce qu'elle a de plus étrange. En nous guidant à travers la relativité d'Einstein, la mécanique quantique et la théorie des cordes, Magique Cosmos explore les recoins les plus déroutants de l’univers et s'attaque aux plus grands mystères auxquels nous sommes confrontés : de la vie extraterrestre au zodiaque ; des trous blancs aux trous de ver ; des quasars aux quarks. Tim James nous emmène aussi au-delà de notre système solaire, vers des exoplanètes qui pourraient abriter la vie et des planètes voyous. Il nous raconte la recherche d'intelligence extraterrestre, notamment la découverte de fossiles martiens dans la météorite Alan Hills, et le tentant "signal Wow" reçu par la Terre en 1973 - encore inexpliqué.
