In About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution Paul Davies affronta gli enigmi e i paradossi del tempo che hanno lasciato perplessi i più grandi pensatori del mondo nel corso dei secoli. Quando Albert Einstein formulò la sua teoria della relatività, portò una rivoluzione nella nostra comprensione del tempo, ma presentò anche una nuova serie di misteri. Il tempo di Einstein può essere distorto, portando a bizzarre possibilità come i buchi neri e i viaggi nel tempo, mentre rende assurda la nostra percezione di un ''adesso'' o una divisione del tempo in passato, presente e futuro. In About Time Paul Davies affronta le difficili domande sul tempo, tra cui la strana relazione tra il tempo fisico e la nostra percezione psicologica di esso. Fornisce descrizioni semplici di argomenti come la teoria della relatività, la relazione tra la dilatazione del tempo e la velocità della luce e il ''tempo immaginario'' di Hawking. Conclude che, nonostante decenni di progressi nel svelare i misteri del tempo, la rivoluzione è ancora in corso. ''Conferma il suo posto come uno degli scrittori scientifici più lucidi e leggibili di oggi'' - Sunday Times ''Intrigante e importante. Un'affascinante discussione sul perché Einstein non possa essere l'ultima parola sull'argomento'' - Independent on Sunday ''Roba sublime per fisici da poltrona'' - Guardian ''Un tour di alcuni dei lavori più entusiasmanti - e stravaganti - della fisica moderna. Scrivendo con passione e arguzia, lascia trasparire il suo messaggio scientifico'' - New Statesman.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution Paul Davies confronts the puzzles and paradoxes of time that have bemused the world's greatest thinkers throughout the ages. When Albert Einstein formulated his theory of relativity it brought about a revolution in our understanding of time, yet also presented a new set of mysteries. Einstein's time can be warped, leading to bizarre possibilities such as black holes and time travel, while making a nonsense of our perception of a 'now' or a division of time into past, present and future. In About Time Paul Davies tackles the tough questions about time, including the strange relationship between physical time and our psychological perception of it. He gives straightforward descriptions of topics such as the theory of relativity, the relation between time dilation and the speed of light and Hawking's 'imaginary time'. He concludes that, despite decades of progress in unravelling the mysteries of time, the revolution is still underway. 'Confirms his place as one of the most lucid and readable science writers today' - Sunday Times 'Intriguing and important . a fascinating discussion of why Einstein's can't be the last word on the subject' - Independent on Sunday 'Sublime stuff for armchair physicists' - Guardian 'A tour of some of the most exciting - and outlandish - work in modern physics . Writing with passion and wit, he lets his scientific message shine through' - New Statesman. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
