Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself"--

A Sunday Times Book of the YearFrom the author of the international bestseller How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your DogExciting physics doesn't just show up in billion-dollar experiments like the Large Hadron Collider or in extreme astrophysical environments like black holes. It's to be found all around us, just beneath the surface of our normal everyday lives.An ordinary morning routine depends on some of the weirdest phenomena ever discovere...

The author of "How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog" illuminates the strange phenomena lurking just beneath the surface of our ordinary lives by digging into the surprisingly complicated physics involved in his (and anyone's) morning routine.

Exciting physics doesn't only show up in the Big Bang, or a black hole, or in the guts of giant particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider - it's all around us.Beginning at sunrise, Chad Orzel embarks upon a fascinating tour of the exotic science that underlies each moment of our every day. Did you know your alarm clock held secrets about quantum mechanics? And that the GPS on your phone has a built-in correction for the effects of r...

Your alarm goes off, and you head to the kitchen to make yourself some toast and a cup of coffee. Little do you know, as you savor the aroma of the steam rising from your cup, that your ordinary morning routine depends on some of the weirdest phenomena ever discovered. The world of quantum physics is generally thought of as hopelessly esoteric. While classical physics gives us the laws governing why a ball rolls downhill, how a plane is able ...

In dit succesvolle boek verklaart Chad Orzel basisbegrippen van de natuurkunde, waarbij hij het gedrag van zijn hond Emmy als uitgangspunt neemt. Emmy is niet zo maar een hond! Ze kan praten en ze is gefascineerd door het werk van haar baasje, die professor in de natuurkunde is. Kan ze het tunneleffect gebruiken om door het hek in de tuin van de buren te komen om daar op konijnen te jagen? Hoe zit het met kwantumteleportatie om eekhoorns te k...

Quantenphysik verstehen Sie nicht? Mit diesem Buch wird sich das ändern. Denn wenn Emmy, die Mischlingshündin des Autors, bei Themen wie Teilchen-Welle-Dualismus, Unbestimmtheit, Teleportation und Quantentunneln mitreden kann, dann können Sie es auch. Und Sie werden tierischen Spaß dabei haben.Mein Hund Kodi behauptet, dass Chad Orzel Physik viel klarer und mit weit mehr Humor erklärt, als ich es je getan habe. Und er behält mich jetzt nur noc...

When Quantum Physics expert Dr Orzel adopted a dog, he found that he ended up with a very inquisitive one, Emmy. In this witty and informative book, he and Emmy discuss the key theories of QP and its fascinating history in a humorous and accessible way. Emmy could use QP to tunnel under the neighbours fence, or use quantum teleportation to reach out of reach squirrels.

When physics professor Chad Orzel went to the pound to adopt a dog, he never imagined Emmy. She wasn't just a friendly mutt who needed a home. Soon she was trying to use the strange ideas of quantum mechanics for the really important things in her life: chasing critters, getting treats, and going for walks. She peppered Chad with questions: Could she use quantum tunneling to get through the neighbor's fence and chase bunnies? What about quantu...

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But what about relativity? Physics professor Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein's physics. Through armchair- and sometimes passenger-seat- conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas...
