I enoyed many other books by Michio Kaku, but this one really stood out! ( ) HIPERESPACIO: UNA ODISEA CIENTÍFICA A TRAVÉS DE UNIVERSOS PARALELOS, ... ¿Hay otras dimensiones más allá de las de nuestra experiencia cotidiana? ¿Hay puertas de acceso a universos paralelos? ¿Qué sucedió antes del primer día de la Creación? Este tipo de cuestiones están en el centro de la actividad científica actual. En efecto, muchos físicos creen hoy que existen otras dimensiones más allá de las cuatro de nuestro espacio-tiempo, y que puede alcanzarse una visión unificada de las diversas fuerzas de la naturaleza, si consideramos que todo lo que vemos a nuestro alrededor, desde los árboles hasta las estrellas, no son sino vibraciones en el hiperespacio. La teoría del hiperespacio –y su derivación más reciente, la teoría de supercuerdas– es el ojo de esta revolución. En este libro, Michio Kaku nos muestra un panorama fascinante, que cambia por completo nuestra visión del cosmos, y nos lleva a un deslumbrante viaje por nuevas dimensiones: agujeros de gusano que conectan universos paralelos, máquinas del tiempo, «universos bebé» y otras maravillas semejantes van surgiendo en unas páginas en las que todo se explica con una elegante sencillez y donde la formulación matemática es reemplazada por imaginativas ilustraciones que permiten visualizar los problemas. El resultado es un libro muy ameno y sorprendentemente, que incluso deja atrás las mayores fantasías de los viejos autores de ciencia ficción. Michio Kaku (1947), profesor de física teórica en la City University de Nueva York, es uno de los especialistas más destacados en teoría de supercuerdas. Entre sus obras destacan Beyond Einstein The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe (con Jennifer Trainer] y Ouontum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction e Introduction to Superstrings. Mr. Kaku has always been one of my favorite guests on Coast to Coast AM, speculating on extraterrestrial civilizations and scientific knowledge and capability beyond ours. This book is an oddyssey on some of the more fantastical ideas that modern phycisists are speculationg at what lies beyond our perceptions in this, our physical universe. He starts with a history of physics, classical, relativity and quantum, and talks about the parallel developments in mathematics and then gets down to the fun stuff, that the structure of space is a far stranger and more possiblity laden place than conventional thought might admit to. The math can get a little heavy for someone with a non-math mind. But if ideas are what you are about, this book brings 'em. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations. Not any more. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory. In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space)-and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory-stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos-gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces-require markedly different mathematical descriptions. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
