El universo de Einstein
Author: Michio KakuPublisher: Antoni Bosch editor

Category : Science
Languages : es
Pages : 208
Book Description
En El universo de Einstein, Michio Kaku, un físico teórico innovador y autor del “best seller” Hiperespacio, entrelaza la vida y la obra de Einstein con el fin de poder ver el universo tal y como lo veía Einstein, brindando una mirada privilegiada a su manera de pensar. Aunque sus teorías tuvieron enormes repercusiones, Einstein pensaba realmente en términos de simples imágenes físicas ―trenes a gran velocidad, ascensores cayendo, cohetes, relojes en movimiento―. En realidad, fue a partir de dos de esas ideas simples como surgió el papel crucial de la relatividad en el movimiento del universo. La primera idea ocupó el pensamiento de Einstein desde que tenía dieciséis años, cuando intentaba imaginar cómo se vería un rayo de luz si corriera a su lado. La paradoja de una onda de luz en reposo le habría conducido finalmente a la relatividad y a E = mc2, la famosa ecuación que ha desentrañado los secretos de las estrellas. Einstein dio con su segunda idea mientras estaba reclinado en su silla en la oficina de patentes de Berna: ¿Qué pasaría –se preguntó- si él y su silla se cayeran? Esta imagen casi cómica le llevó a la idea de que la estructura del espacio y el tiempo es curva, desbancando a la misteriosa “fuerza” gravitacional de Newton. Esta idea, a su vez, nos ha permitido llegar a los agujeros negros y el Big Bang. La lucha infructuosa de Einstein por unificar todas las leyes de la naturaleza procede de su fracaso en dar con una tercera idea. Pero Kaku nos muestra de forma persuasiva cuántas ideas de Einstein de los últimos años de su carrera, anteriormente rechazadas por irrelevantes para la física, han llegado a fructificar en nuevos campos de investigación científica, nuevas tecnologías y varios premios Nobel. Sin olvidar que el espíritu de su búsqueda sigue vivo en la teoría de las cuerdas, protagonista de la física teórica más actual. Einstein sigue siendo uno de los más grandes y más estimados científicos de todos los tiempos, pero su trabajo y su legado han sido frecuentemente malinterpretados. Gracias a la perspicacia de Kaku y su habilidad para explicar en lenguaje llano los conceptos científicos más densos, El universo de Einstein proporciona una forma nueva y estimulante de apreciar la vida y las ideas de Einstein.

Nature Inside
Author: William D. BrowningPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000051315
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Written by a leading proponent of biophilic design, this is the only practical guide to biophilic design principles for interior designers. Describing the key benefits, principles and processes of biophilic design, Nature Inside illustrates the implementation of biophilic design in interior design practice, across a range of international case studies – at different scales, and different typologies. Starting with the principles of biophilic design, and the principles and processes in practice, the book then showcases a variety of interior spaces – residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare and manufacturing. The final chapter looks ‘outside the walls’, giving a case study at the campus and city scale. With practical guidance and real-world solutions that can be directly-applied in day-to-day practice, this is a must-have for designers interested in applying biophilic principles.

Book Description
This study source by Joseph Boone of California Polytechnic state University-San Luis Obispo references all of the physics topics an the MCAT to the appropriate sections on the text. Since most MCAT questions require more thought and reasoning than simply plugging numbers into an equation, this study guide is designed to refresh student's memory about the topics they've covered in class. Additional review, practice problems, and review questions are included.

ISBN: 9780131414273
Category : Mathematical physics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book is designed to help readers get up to speed quickly on the mathematical concepts and tools needed to solve basic physics problems. Instead of a rigorous development of the concepts of mathematics (as is found in a typical math book), it describes the various mathematical concepts and tools and their direct use in physics. Almost all sections end with worked-out examples and exercises taken directly from basic physics. Algebra: Dealing with Numbers and Equations in Physics. Trigonometry: A Powerful Tool to Solve-Real-World Problems. Geometry: Dealing with Shapes and Plots. Calculus: A Way of Probing the Changing World. Vectors: Tracking the Direction of a Change. Probability and Statistics: Analysis of Data and Predicting Future from the Present. For anyone needing a quick review of math for physics applications.
