From Eternity to Here
Twenty years after Stephen Hawking's 9-million-copy selling A Brief History of Time, pioneering theoretical physicist Sean Carroll takes our investigation into the nature of time to the next level. You can't unscramble an egg and you can't remember the future. But what if time doesn't (or didn't!) always go in the same direction? Carroll's paradigm-shifting research suggests that other universes experience time running in the opposite direction to our own. Exploring subjects from entropy and quantum mechanics to time travel and the meaning of life, Carroll presents a dazzling new view of how we came to exist.
The Biggest Ideas in the Universe
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Most appealing... technical accuracy and lightness of tone... Impeccable.”—Wall Street Journal “A porthole into another world.”—Scientific American “Brings science dissemination to a new level.”—Science The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality. Physics offers deep insights into the workings of the universe but those insights come in the form of equations that often look like gobbledygook. Sean Carroll shows that they are really like meaningful poems that can help us fly over sierras to discover a miraculous multidimensional landscape alive with radiant giants, warped space-time, and bewilderingly powerful forces. High school calculus is itself a centuries-old marvel as worthy of our gaze as the Mona Lisa. And it may come as a surprise the extent to which all our most cutting-edge ideas about black holes are built on the math calculus enables. No one else could so smoothly guide readers toward grasping the very equation Einstein used to describe his theory of general relativity. In the tradition of the legendary Richard Feynman lectures presented sixty years ago, this book is an inspiring, dazzling introduction to a way of seeing that will resonate across cultural and generational boundaries for many years to come.
Las ideas fundamentales del Universo
«Solo Sean Carroll podría introducir la relatividad general de Einstein de una manera tan luminosa y directa». Carlo Rovelli «Un libro ambicioso que combina precisión técnica y claridad». Wall Street Journal «Un maravilloso portal a otro mundo». Scientific American La física moderna ofrece numerosos avances sobre el origen y el funcionamiento del universo, conocimientos que se transmiten en forma de ecuaciones que, a menudo, nos parecen un galimatías. Con talento incomparable, Sean Carroll demuestra que esas ecuaciones son como verdaderos poemas repletos de significado que nos ayudan a descubrir un milagroso paisaje multidimensional de gigantes radiantes, espacio-tiempo deformado, agujeros negros o fuerzas increíblemente poderosas, y, en suma, que son accesibles a cualquier persona con estudios de matemáticas de secundaria. Porque Carroll ha logrado construir algo que a muchos les parecía altamente improbable: un sólido puente entre la ciencia popular y el universo matemático de los físicos en activo. Nadie como él nos guía con tanta fluidez hacia la comprensión de la ecuación que Einstein utilizó para describir su teoría de la relatividad general. Este libro constituye una introducción inspiradora y deslumbrante en la comprensión de cómo funciona el universo y sus leyes, y está llamado a convertirse en el referente indiscutible de la divulgación de la física y la astrofísica durante generaciones, en la senda de las legendarias conferencias que Richard Feynman publicó hace ya más de sesenta años.
