PRAISE FOR LIGHT YEARS AND TIME TRAVEL "This immensely likeable work of pop science traces 'man's enduring fascination with light,' from Aristotle's plans for a death ray (burning enemy ships with a giant array of mirrors) to a recent experiment that seems to have sent Mozart's 40th Symphony faster than light, and thus back through time. Clegg is very good at explaining the bizarre properties of light." -The Guardian "A fascinating book on a fascinating subject. It brings together all aspects of light in an unusual and compelling manner." -Sir Patrick Moore "Light's properties often seem mysterious to the point of being unfathomable. Yet in this extraordinary book, Brian Clegg manages to explain them through the lives of those so fixated with light that they have shaped our perception of it. . . . Clegg's accessible writing style manages to encapsulate the lives of light's disciples with humorous and interesting anecdotes . . . quite awesome!" -New Scientist.

Published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, New York, 2002
ISBN 10: 0471211826 ISBN 13: 9780471211822
Language: English
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An exploration of man's fascination with light Here is the story of the greatest puzzle in our universe: what is light? Light Years explores our understanding of light from the spiritual interpretations of the Neolithic worshippers at Stonehenge, the Ancient Egyptians and the Mayans, through our first scientific attempts to understand light, and up to the present day. It looks over the shoulders of the great revolutionaries of light theory Bacon, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Einstein, and Feynman and traces the evolution of light driven-devices from the camera to the laser. This piece of real-life science-fiction explains the mind-bending advances of quantum physics that put light at the heart of all matter and which could finally make time travel possible and change the world as we know it forever. Light Years and Time Travel is an engaging survey of everything we know of the universe's most enigmatic substance. Explores our understanding of light from the spiritual interpretations of the Neolithic worshippers at Stonehenge, the Ancient Egyptians and the Mayans, through our scientific attempts to understand light. This book traces the evolution of light driven-devices from the camera to the laser. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Of all the mindbending theories in modern physics, that, at least, seemed a rule the universe~let alone mankind~could never break. But in 1994 Professor Gunter Nimtz sent a recording of Mozart's 40th Symphony through a physical barrier at four times the speed of light. Once again, light had surprised and confounded those who sought to understand it. Light Years and Time Travel tells the stories of the cultures and individuals determined to unlock the secrets of this mysterious force. Neolithic man worshipped light at Stonehenge. The ancient Egyptians believed it was the sight of the great god Ra. The Greeks thought it a fire that pours from the eyes to illuminate all we behold. The revolutionary use of light in art by Brunelleschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Durer, and, more recently, the Impressionists has only furthered our awe of it. From the first scientific grapplings with light by the ancient Chinese sage Mo Ti and the Greek philosopher Empedocles through the Renaissance and down to our own time, the revelations of the true nature of light are equally astounding. We have moved from Bacon's studies of optics~according to legend, he invented the first pair of glasses~and Newton's dissection of light into the colors of the spectrum to Faraday and Maxwell's revelation of light's basis in electricity and magnetism and quantum theory's study of light's strangest, most unexpected properties. Light is also the force behind our most state~of~the~art technology, such as lasers and optical computers. Now, in this new millennium, we are realizing the possibility that light may allow us to send messages backward in time. Even this is just the beginning of our understanding of light's true power, but Brian Clegg's odyssey through the wonder and study of light is no less compelling for it.
