Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. 186,282 miles per second. It's not just a speed limit. It's the secret architecture of reality. Light crosses your room so fast it feels instant - and for most of history, humanity assumed it was. The discovery that it isn't, and the two-thousand-year quest to clock it, rewrote everything: what time is, what space is, why your GPS works, and how we read the history of the universe in starlight. Jesse Calloway tells the complete story of nature's most important number, in clear, vivid language with no equations required. Inside, you will discover: - The great chase - from Galileo's lanterns to Romer's daring Jupiter prediction to Michelson's obsession with precision- Maxwell's stunning revelation - how light turned out to be electricity and magnetism waving together- The strange constancy - the baffling experimental fact that launched Einstein's revolution- Time dilation and length contraction - why moving clocks genuinely run slow, and what spacetime really means- E=mc2 - what the world's most famous equation actually says about energy, mass, and light- Why nothing can go faster - the cosmic speed limit, and the loopholes that aren't- Telescopes as time machines - how looking far means looking back, all the way to the beginning- The technology of c - GPS, fiber optics, and the everyday machines built on light's fixed speed From ancient debates to the edge of the observable universe, this is the definitive guide to the one number that rules them all. The universe has a speed limit. Here's why everything depends on it. This item is printed on demand.
