Hardback. Condition: Like New. When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, his action forever changed our view of what was possible. Once something new alters our perspective, a transformation starts. In The Story of Astrophysics in Five Revolutions, Ersilia Vaudo explores five such turning points in the history of cosmology: Newton?s realisation that gravity governs the celestial world; Einstein?s two theories of relativity, linking space with time and gravity with acceleration; Hubble?s revelation of an expanding universe; and the emergence of antiparticles and their implications for our cosmic evolution. But we still have much to learn. We are navigating through shifting reference points, abandoned convictions, observations that surprise us, technologies that evolve?always waiting impatiently for new measurements, new questions. Vaudo illuminates the key insights that have led us to where we are todays but above all she urges us to look beyond, in an on-going quest to understand the cosmos and our place in it.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La historia de la astrofisica en cinco revoluciones: de la ley de la gravedad a la antimateria. Al estilo de Carlo Rovelli y Lee Smolin, un canto a la curiosidad humana, a la sorpresa cientifica, a lo desconocido del universo: emocionante y pedagogicoImpulsados por una curiosidad inagotable, los seres humanos siempre hemos utilizado nuestra intuicion para comprender el universo. A cada instante precisamos de sacudidas de lo real, puntos de no retorno en esa vaga idea del mundo que nos otorga la experiencia humana. La mano invisible que hace caer la manzana del arbol es la misma que mueve los engranajes de la gravedad. Esta ley de Newton es una de las grandes intuiciones que cambiaron nuestra forma de leer el universo.Luego vinieron otras: Einstein vinculando para siempre espacio y tiempo, el Hubble descubriendo la edad de un universo en expansion, las soluciones de Dirac a una ecuacion que revelan la antimateria. Sin embargo, aun queda mucho por comprender. Y si nuestro universo no fuera mas que una pequena burbuja de espuma cosmica? Y si existieran otras dimensiones ocultas a nuestros ojos? Navegamos entre convicciones cambiantes, observaciones sorprendentes y tecnologias en perpetua evolucion. Impacientes. Deslumbrados. A la espera de nuevas intuiciones en un anhelo tan infinito como el propio universo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA concise, elegant overview of how five of the most extraordinary moments of vision and intuition in science history forever transformed our understanding of the cosmosand what we may yet discover in revolutions still to come.When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath. That one small step forever changed our view of what was possible, sparking a dramatic expansion of humankinds cosmic awareness. When we gain a new perspective, a transformation begins, profoundly altering the understanding of the world our human experience had previously granted us.In Maribilis. The Story of Astrophysics in Five Revolutions, astrophysicist Ersilia Vaudo explores five such turning points in the history of cosmology: Newtons realization that gravity governs the celestial world; Einsteins dual theories of relativity, linking space with time and gravity with acceleration; Hubbles revelation of an expanding, rather than static, universe; and the emergence of antiparticles from a mathematical equation and their implications for our cosmic evolution.In poetic prose, Vaudo illuminates the key insights that have led us to where we stand now. At the same time, she urges us to look beyondto be open to the transformative realizations yet to come in our ongoing quest to understand the extraordinary, and still largely mysterious, universe to which we belong.
