Is the universe infinite or just really big? With this question, cosmologist Janna Levin announces the central theme of this book, which established her as one of the most direct, unorthodox, and creative voices in contemporary science. As Levin sets out to determine how big "really big" may be, she offers a rare intimate look at the daily life of an innovative physicist, complete with jet lag and the tensions between personal relationships an...

1931 yili Viyanasinda, seckin entelektüellerden olusan özel bir grubun icinde fikirleriyle parildayan genc bir matematik ögrencisi Kurt Gödel. Ikinci Dünya Savasi sirasinda, Londra yakinlarinda, Nazilerin Enigma sifrelerini cözmek icin bir makine icat eden tuhaf bir matematikci Alan Turing. Hic karsilasmadiklari halde hayatlari ve trajik sonlari garip bir sekilde birbirine bagli olan iki büyük dahinin, iki isiltili ve kirilgan zihnin, ic ice g...

From the acclaimed author of Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space--an authoritative and accessible guide to the most alluring and challenging phenomena of contemporary science.Through her writing, astrophysicist Janna Levin has focused on making the science she studies not just comprehensible but also, and perhaps more important, intriguing to the nonscientist. In this book, she helps us to understand and find delight in the black...

What would happen if you fell into a Black Hole?Black Holes are the most extraordinary phenomenon in the universe, but they are a riddle that confounds our intuitions. Anything that enters them can never escape, and yet they contain nothing at all. They are bigger on the inside than the outside suggests. They are dark on the outside but not on the inside. They invert time into space and space into time. Black Holes are found throughout the uni...

Our solar system is currently orbiting a Black Hole 26, 000 light years away at a speed of 200 km per second.In Black Hole Survival Guide physicist and novelist Janna Levin takes you on a journey into a black hole, explaining what would happen to you in there and why.

From the acclaimed author of Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space--an authoritative, wholly accessible, fascinating guide to the most challenging phenomena of contemporary science, which is now the anchor of our understanding of the cosmos.Throughout her career, astrophysicist Janna Levin has focused, alongside her research, on making the science she studies not just accessible, but, perhaps more important, intriguing to the nonsc...

1916 yilinda Albert Einstein tarafindan ortaya konulan genel görelilik ve bir sonucu olan kütlecekim dalgalari teorisini deneysel olarak kanitlamak, bir asirdir bilim insanlarinin en büyük gayelerinden biriydi. Einsteinin makalesinin yüzüncü yildönümünden bir sene sonra da olsa, 2017 yilinda kütlecekim dalgalarindan beklenen ses nihayet duyuldu ve bu kesif, projenin yürütücüleri RainerWeiss, Barry C. Barish ve Kip S. Thornea Nobel Fizik Ödülün...

Da quando nel 1916 Einstein predisse l'esistenza delle onde gravitazionali minuscole increspature nello spaziotempo generate da eventi insondabili la scienza si è preoccupata di indagare se tali vibrazioni possano essere registrate. Perché, in questo caso, potremmo osservare il nostro universo attraverso il suono: il "sibilo" del Big Bang, il "canto" simile a quello delle balene delle supernovae che esplodono, le "vibrazioni" prodotte dalla co...

The authoritative story of Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish, and Kip Thorne's Nobel Prize-winning discovery of gravitational waves-by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer.With A New PrefaceIn 1916, Einstein predicted the presence of gravitational waves. One century later, we are recording the first sounds from space, evidence of the waves' existence caused by the collision of two black holes. An authoritative account of the...

The authoritative story of the headline-making discovery of gravitational waves-by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer.From the author of How the Universe Got Its Spots and A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, the epic story of the scientific campaign to record the soundtrack of our universe. Black holes are dark. That is their essence. When black holes collide, they will do so unilluminated. Yet the black hole collis...

Kurt Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems sent shivers through Vienna's intellectual circles and directly challenged Ludwig Wittgenstein's dominant philosophy. Alan Turing's mathematical genius helped him break the Nazi Enigma Code during WWII. Though they never met, their lives strangely mirrored one another-both were brilliant, and both met with tragic ends. Here, a mysterious narrator intertwines these parallel lives into a double helix of geniu...

Zwarte gaten zijn donker, de naam zegt het al. Als ze botsen, is daar niets van te zien. Toch komt bij een botsing van zwarte gaten een onvoorstelbaar grote hoeveelheid kracht vrij. Einstein voorspelde, precies een eeuw geleden, dat je zou moeten kunnen zien dat ruimte en tijd een beetje veranderen wanneer zo'n botsing plaatsvindt. Een 'zwaartekrachtgolf', die veroorzaakt dat tijd en ruimte niet meer constant zijn. Maar hoe observeer je zoiets...
