Dark Matter and Dark Energy
'Clear and compact ... It's hard to fault as a brief, easily digestible introduction to some of the biggest questions in the Universe' Giles Sparrow, BBC Four's The Sky at Night, Best astronomy and space books of 2019: 5/5All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced.Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That 'something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets.By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteen times greater than all the visible material in existence.Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.

Tijdreizen
Kriskras door de tijd met behulp van wetenschapTijdreizen klinkt misschien als sciencefiction, maar is volgens de wetenschap echt mogelijk. Albert Einstein toonde met zijn relativiteitstheorie namelijk aan dat naar de toekomst reizen sowieso kan – en naar het verleden reizen misschien ook. In Tijdreizen bespreekt wetenschapsschrijver Brian Clegg welke hordes we moeten nemen om dit kunstje in de praktijk te brengen. Kun je jezelf laten invriezen en in de toekomst wakker worden? Hoe bouw je een warpdrive die de ruimtetijd om zich heen kromt en je zo naar de toekomst brengt? Kun je een wormgat in duiken om terug in de tijd te gaan? En kun je dankzij de quantummechanica een boodschap naar het verleden sturen? Tot slot duikt Clegg in de paradoxale gevolgen van een universum waarin iedereen kriskras door de tijd beweegt.

Brainjacking
Brainjacking takes us on a journey through advertising and marketing's attempts to understand and influence our thoughts and desires, from the earliest billboards to the technologies of the future. To discover how science intersects with our desires and decisions, the book pulls together three strands that have a huge impact on our lives: advertising, how much privacy we can and should have in the new electronic world, and how to draw the line between information and influence.With Brian Clegg as your guide, this is a book that will help you unpick the insidious world of brainjacking. Expertly pulling together different strands on disparate topics including AI, Big Data, subliminal advertising and more, this essential investigation shows how new and old technology and science can be combined to influence human behaviour and beliefs.

The Multiverse
The universe was supposed to be all there was - the whole of existence. For centuries the size of the universe and whether or not it is finite fascinated scientists and philosophers.But however big the universe may be, there being only one gave astronomers and cosmologists a headache. Existence as we know it is contingent on so many constants in nature which, if altered only slightly, would make life impossible. This seems so unlikely to happen by chance. What if, instead, there is in fact a vast range of different universes, with many variants of the universal contents, making ours just one of many that happens to be viable for life?In this illuminating exploration, Brian Clegg delves into the endless possibilities of the multiverse. Investigating questions of expanding, parallel and communicating universes, this accessible guide takes the reader into one of the weirdest and most exciting areas of modern physics and cosmology.

Kuantum Bilgisayarlari
Bilgisayar teknolojisi son elli yil boyunca cok hizli gelisti. Fakat öyle görünüyor ki mühendisler bir cipin üzerine artik daha fazla transistör sigdiramayacaklar. Umudumuz, kuantum fizigini elektronige daha yaratici bicimde uygulamakta. Elektrik almadigi zaman bile bilgi saklayabilen yeni tip bellekler ya da eski yavas bilgisayarinizi ucuran yeni tip SSD hard diskler ileride olacaklarin habercisi gibi. Gücünü transistör sayisindan degil kuantum garipliklerinden alan kuantum bilgisayari bilgi arama veya güvenlik duvarlarini asma isini cok hizlandiracak. Ancak, bir kuantum bilgisayari yapmak cok zor. Tüm dünyada yüzlerce laboratuvar bu is üzerinde calisiyor olsa da, kuantum bilgisayari geleneksel bilgisayarin performansini gececegi noktaya daha yeni yeni yaklasiyor.Bu kolay okunan ve anlasilan kitapta Brian Clegg kuantum bilgisayari yapmak icin kuantum fiziginin hangi özelliklerinden faydalanmak gerektigini ortaya koyuyor.

Kütlecekimi Dalgalari
50 yil süren arastirmalar 14 Eylül 2015te meyvesini verdi, kütlecekimi dalgalari kesfedildi ve astronomide birdevrim gerceklesti.O güne dek, evrenin arastirilmasi elektromanyetik radyasyona isik, radyo dalgalari, X-isinlari bagliydi. Amaelektromanyetik radyasyonu durduran hicbir engel, uzay-zamanin dokusunda yol alan kütlecekimi dalgalarinidurduramiyor. Bu nedenle optik ve radyo teleskoplardan sonra kütlecekimsel dalga teleskoplari evrenin sirlarinikesfetmek icin yürütülen calismalara büyük katki yapacak. Ilk hedefler evrenin evrimi, kara delikler ve karanlikmadde olacak.20 yüzyilin ilk yarisinda kuantum mekanigi arastirilirken bunun ne ise yarayacagini hic kimse bilmiyordu. Fakatbugün, gelismis ülkeler, gelirlerinin yaklasik ücte birini kuantum mekanigine dayali teknolojiler sayesinde eldeediyor. Kütlecekimsel dalga arastirmalarinin ileride bilim, teknoloji ve ekonomiye neler katabilecegini simdidenkim bilebilir

Fizikte Dünyayi Sarsan On Gün
Termodinamikten Internete yasamimiza en fazla etkisi olan buluslar.Fizik, dünyanin nasil isledigini anlamamizi saglar fakat daha da önemlisi, fizikteki büyük buluslar günlük yasami dönüstürüp degistirmistir. Bu buluslarin nasil yapildigini ögrenmek, bunlari yapanlari daha yakindan tanimak ve hayatimizi nasil etkiledigini görmek icin tarihte on özel güne kisa bir yolculuga cikiyoruz.Bu özel seckide on özel bulusu yakindan inceleyecegiz. Fakat Stephen Hawkingin kara deliklerle ilgili calismalarini ya da Higgs bozonunun kesfini ve bunlarin günlük yasamdaki etkileri yerine, nispeten daha az bilinen Rudolf Clausiusin termodinamikle ilgili calismalarina ve Heike Kamerlingh Onnesin süperiletkenlik konusunda attigi adimlara yakindan bakmak istedik, Albert Einsteini da nükleer fisyonu ele aldigi kisa makalesi üzerinden incelemeyi tercih ettik. Diger bölümlerde de transistörler, LEDler ve interneti mercek altina aldik.Ve sonunda da bir sonraki yani on birinci günü size soruyoruz Henüz gerceklesmemis en büyük gelisme ne olabilir

Weather Science
Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes.For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers.From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.
