Nel IX secolo il califfo abbaside di Baghdad, Abù Ja'far Abdullah al-Ma'mun, creò uno dei centri di studio più imponenti che la storia umana abbia mai conosciuto, noto col nome di Bayt al-Hikma, La casa della saggezza. Jim Al-Khalili ci svela i nomi dei protagonisti di questa avventura meravigliosa: Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, Ibn al-Shatir, al-Khwàrizmi, Ibn al-Haytham, al-Ràzi ed altri ancora. Dietro a questi nomi, per noi quasi sconosciuti, si na...

Touching on every topic from genetics to transport and teleportation, this is a fun and informative look at what's in store for the human race.

From renowned theoretical physicist, broadcaster and author Jim Al-Khalili, comes this thrilling debut novel drawing on cutting-edge science and set in a near-future full of dazzling technologies. 2041 and the world as we know it grinds to a halt. Our planet seems to be turning against itself - it would appear that the magnetic field, that protects life on Earth from deadly radiation from space, is failing . . . Desperate to quell the mass hys...

Professor Jim Al-Khalili, OBE FRS, is a physicist, author and broadcaster based at the University of Surrey. He received his PhD in theoretical nuclear physics in 1989 and has published over a hundred research papers on quantum physics.His many popular science books have been translated into twenty-six languages. He is a recipient of the Royal Michael Faraday medal and the Institute of Physics Kelvin Medal.In 2016 he received the inaugural Ste...

L'uso parsimonioso degli aggettivi "strano", "bizzarro" e "misterioso" è indubbiamente una buona regola. Quindi, per mettere bene in chiaro che l'argomento del suo nuovo libro è davvero molto strano, bizzarro e misterioso, Jim Al-Khalili lo dice subito, e si capisce perché lo fa. Il tema del suo libro è infatti il mondo del molto-molto piccolo, quello dei quanti, dove le regole del "nostro" mondo non valgono o, in molti casi, sono completament...

This book is about my own personal favourite puzzles and conundrums in science, all of which have famously been referred to as paradoxes, but which turn out not to be paradoxes at all when considered carefully and viewed from the right angle. A true paradox is a statement that leads to a circular and self-contradictory argument, or one that describes a logically impossible situation. Our subject is 'perceived paradoxes' - questions or thoug...

Die arabischen Fundamente unserer modernen Gesellschaft. Wer entdeckte lange vor Kopernikus das heliozentrische Weltbild? Ibn al-Shatir. Wer beschrieb als Erster den Blutkreislauf? Ibn al-Nafees. Wer war vor Leonardo das erste Universalgenie? Abu Rayan al-Biruni. Im 9. Jahrhundert gründete der Kalif von Bagdad das legendäre "Haus der Weisheit", das fortan zum Weltzentrum der Gelehrsamkeit wurde. Hier wurden die großen Werke der Antike - Gale...

WORUM GEHT ES? Leben ist das faszinierendste Phänomen des Universums. Aber wie entsteht es? Wie funktioniert es? Und wieso verändert es sich ständig? Die noch junge Wissenschaft der Quantenbiologie liefert bahnbrechende Erklärungen für diese bislang ungelösten Rätsel. Jim Al-Khalili und Johnjoe McFadden zeigen, wie die unglaublich kleinen Ereignisse in der Quantenwelt eine große Wirkung auf alles Leben haben. Genau wie Richard Dawkins' Das ego...

Do Aliens Exist?And if they do - what would they look like? Where would they live? Would they be conscious beings? And what would happen if they found us?These are the biggest questions we've ever asked - and here, Professor Jim Al-Khalili, theoretical physicist and host of BBC Radio Four's The Life Scientific, blasts off in search of answers. Coming with him are Martin Rees, Ian Stewart, Louisa Preston, Monica Grady, Sara Seager, Paul Davies ...

In these lively and fascinating essays, scientists from around the world weigh in on the latest advances in the search for intelligent life in the universe and discuss just what that might look like. Since 2000, science has seen a surge in data and interest on several fronts related to E.T. (extraterrestrials), A.I. (artificial intelligence), and SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence). The debate has intensified over whether life exis...

Quantum mechanics is remarkable for two seemingly contradictory reasons. On the one hand, it is so fundamental to our understanding of the workings of the world that it lies at the very heart of most of the technological advances made in the past half a century. On the other hand, no one seems to know exactly what it means!'Quantum mechanics is the most fundamental theory known to man, underpinning modern science and technology and even provid...

Jim Al-Khalili è un fisico teorico di grande talento comunicativo. Per lui i paradossi apparentemente insolubili sono un'ottima occasione per spiegare come funziona la scienza. Per questo ne ha scelti nove, tra più e meno noti, e sulla loro traccia ha costruito questo libro, divertente, stimolante, ironico e che ha la capacità di sconcertare con la semplice accumulazione di elementi imprevedibili. Insomma, un libro che ...

Leven is het bijzonderste en raadselachtigste gegeven van het universum. Nog nooit heeft iemand leven kunnen opwekken uit dode materie. Hoe ontstaat leven? Wat is die 'spark of life'? Niemand weet het antwoord. Nu brengt Hoe leven ontstaat ons daar dichterbij. Met grote helderheid en aan de hand van eenvoudige vragen - hoe weten trekvogels waar ze naartoe moeten vliegen? Hoe ruiken we de geur van bloemen? Hoe kunnen onze genen zichzelf zo nauw...

A fun and fascinating look at great scientific paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds.

Nessuno finora è riuscito a creare la vita. A tutt'oggi, pur con tutte le dichiarazioni roboanti della "biologia sintetica", l'unico modo per "costruire" la vita è sempre e solo la vita. È evidente che ci sfugge ancora un ingrediente, qualcosa che spieghi la complessità del fenomeno vitale. Tuttavia, sulla base di recentissimi esperimenti, rigorosi e ripetibili, stiamo forse cominciando a capire cosa succede laggiù, nel profondo delle cellule ...
