Is The Universe Trying to Kill Me?
In Is the Universe Trying to Kill Me?, physicist and award-winning science writer Brian Clegg reveals how the mind-bending principles of quantum physics - like superposition, entanglement, and the multiverse - shed light on life's everyday mysteries. Discover if black holes are leaking, why the sun works (and why it shouldn't), whether the universe is actively out to get you and a whole world of other quantum conundrums you never thought to ask. Quantum physics isn't just abstract theory, it's present everywhere in the chaos of our daily lives, influencing how we love, decide, and think. Why do we keep chasing the people who don't want us? Could your future self actually be sending you a message? Is free will an illusion or a cosmic paradox? With clear explanations and real-world anecdotes along with diagrams and illustrations on every page, this book unpicks the strange, often counterintuitive laws of quantum physics and exposes the unexpected ways the universe shapes human experience. Is the Universe Trying to Kill Me? will challenge everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world around you. Prepare to discover a universe far stranger and far more entangled with your life than you ever imagined...

Bücher, die die Welt veränderten
150 Bücher in einem Buch!Naturwissenschaft als Lesevergnügen: Diese Werke veränderten unsere Sicht auf die Welt.Eine bibliophile Zeitreise von den alten Griechen bis ins 21. Jahrhundert.Brian Clegg macht auch komplexe Sachverhalte leicht verständlich.Der bekannte britische Sachbuchautor Brian Clegg nimmt uns mit auf eine bibliophile Reise durch die Zeit. Sein reich bebilderter Überblick zu den einflussreichsten Büchern der Naturwissenschaften führt von den alten Griechen und islamischen Gelehrten über mittelalterliche europäische Naturphilosophen bis ins 21. Jahrhundert. Dabei stellt er nicht nur die Entwicklung wissenschaftlicher Konzepte, sondern auch die der Sprache und des Buches an sich dar. Von Einritzungen und Schriftrollen bis zu gebundenen Büchern in ihrer heutigen Form, illustriert der Autor die Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie das geschriebene Wort unser Wissen über das Universum und über uns selbst erweitert hat.

The Graphene Revolution
In 2003, Russian physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov found a way to produce graphene - the thinnest substance in the world - by using sticky tape to separate an atom-thick layer from a block of graphite.Their efforts would win the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics, and now the applications of graphene and other 'two-dimensional' substances form a worldwide industry. Graphene is far stronger than steel, a far better conductor than any metal, and able to act as a molecular sieve to purify water. Electronic components made from graphene are a fraction of the size of silicon microchips and can be both flexible and transparent, making it possible to build electronics into clothing, produce solar cells to fit any surface, or even create invisible temporary tattoos that monitor your health.Ultra-thin materials give us the next big step forward since the transistor revolutionised electronics. Get ready for the graphene revolution.
