A Brief History of Time
Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries?These are just some of the questions considered in the internationally acclaimed masterpiece by the world renowned physicist - generally considered to have been one of the world's greatest thinkers. It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders.This new edition includes recent updates from Stephen Hawking with his latest thoughts about the No Boundary Proposal and offers new information about dark energy, the information paradox, eternal inflation, the microwave background radiation observations, and the discovery of gravitational waves.It was published in tandem with the app, Stephen Hawking's Pocket Universe.

The Universe in a Box
**AS SEEN ON BBC BREAKFAST**Will we ever truly understand our cosmic home? This is the story of the technologies that allow us to look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos.'An electrifying new history of the universe' HANNAH FRY, author of Rutherford and Fry's Complete Guide to Absolutely EverythingWe are part of an incredible chain of events stretching 13.8 billion years into the past and even further into the future. But what does that future hold? And how do scientists study the entire universe?The Universe in a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulations - the remarkable computer codes that, over the last century, have allowed us to grasp the distant past and far future of the universe. It reveals the stories of pioneering scientists who unlocked the mysteries of the cosmos, and reframes our understanding of galaxies, black holes and space itself.'I was enlightened, amazed, and profoundly impressed' SIR PHILIP PULLMAN, author of His Dark Materials'Compelling...a veritable treasure chest filled with captivating stories'SCIENCE

How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog
The international bestseller from the author of Breakfast with Einstein Emmy is no ordinary dog. When adopted from the shelter by physics professor Chad Orzel, she becomes immediately fascinated by his work. Could she use quantum tunnelling to get through the neighbour¿s fence? How about diffracting round a tree to chase squirrels? Or using virtual particles to catch bunnies made of cheese? Taking Emmy¿s anarchic behaviour as a starting point, Orzel explains the key theories of quantum physics. From quarks and gluons to Heisenberg¿s uncertainty principle, this is a uniquely entertaining way to unlock the secrets of the universe.

Het multiversum
Over het idee dat ons universum niet het enige isIs ons heelal het enige? Of is het er slechts eentje in een enorme verzameling van parallelle universa? En stel dat het er meer zijn, waar houden al die geheimzinnige soortgenoten van ons heelal zich dan schuil? In Het multiversum nodigt Ans Hekkenberg je uit om over de grenzen van onze werkelijkheid heen te kijken. Ze bespreekt hoe verschillende wetenschappelijke theorieën de deuren naar het multiversum openen. Zo dicteert de kansrekening dat iedereen, in een oneindig groot heelal, oneindig veel dubbelgangers heeft. Uit de vreemde wetten van de quantummechanica volgt dat de werkelijkheid zich met elke keuze die je maakt opsplitst. En de snaartheorie zegt dat er talloze andere dimensies zijn, waar de natuurwetten heel anders zijn dan bij ons. Van de allesomvattende oerknal tot het moeras van de snaartheorie, in dit boekje staat je een onvoorstelbare reis tot ver buiten je dagelijkse realiteit te wachten. ‘Het multiversum is fantastisch geschreven, heeft veel diepgang en laat je veel zelf nadenken. De grapjes erin maken het licht, zodat je in één stuk door wilt blijven lezen.’ – Jury Cosmos Boekenprijs 2022.
