  • 愛因斯坦──他的人生,他的宇宙

    Einstein: His Life and Universe

    愛因斯坦傳記權威定本解開愛因斯坦一生七大謎團2008年美國國家科學院傳播貢獻獎2007年鵝毛筆最佳傳記類獎紐約時報、華盛頓郵報、洛杉磯時報、丹佛郵報等銷售第一沒什麼人懂他的相對論,但他卻是二十世紀知名度最高的科學家,也是牛頓之後最偉大的科學家。他的理論,變成流行商品貼在百貨公司門口,他的亂髮,成為天才的正字標記,他的臉孔,成為二十世紀的封面人物。這位十六歲就想像乘著光束飛行的少年,以單槍匹馬的騎士精神,在人間跌跌撞撞,他曾經語言遲緩、學業中輟、失業、未婚生子,然而他始終保持樂觀自信,相信自己的判斷與良心,拋棄國籍與宗教信仰,決定當一個世界公民,沒有任何主義束縛,因此發現了宇宙至美,1905年他寫出科學史上最著名的方程式E=mc2,被稱為奇蹟之年。到底愛因斯坦是獨立思考的象徵,是天才、生活白癡、人格障礙還是武器製造者?本書為2006年愛因斯坦私人檔案首度公開後,第一本研究成果,也是至今最權威 ...

  • 費曼的6堂Easy相對論

    Six Not-So-Easy Pieces

    Series series 科學文化
    《費曼的6堂Easy相對論》也是從《費曼物理學講義》精選出來的。它有一個跟《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》不太一樣的地方,就是《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》跨越了物理學的好幾個領域,從力學到熱力學再到原子物理。你手裡捧著的這6篇講義,則是全部圍繞著同一個焦點主題。此主題曾經引起近代物理學史上許多最革命性的發現,以及一些完全出人意表的理論。諸如從黑洞到蛀孔、從原子能到時間彎曲。我們所說的主題當然不是別個,正是相對論。不過依我們的淺見,即使偉大的相對論之父,愛因斯坦先生本人,也似乎比不上這位來自大蘋果(紐約市)的費曼先生,能夠把愛因斯坦這套理論的內外精華、有什麼妙用、以及所涉及的基本觀念,解釋得如此完美,直教人不得不擊節讚嘆。——Perseus Books 出版緣起作者簡介理查.費曼(Richard... ...

  • 愛因斯坦與量子革命

    Einstein et les révolutions quantiques

    Translated by 尉遲秀 ...
    2022諾貝爾物理學獎得主-阿蘭.阿斯佩(Alain Aspect)開講當今物理學中最具決定性意義的一頁──正在我們眼前開展的第二次量子革命!以簡單的方式解釋了複雜的概念,從起源理解量子物理學,歷史演變新運用。第一次量子革命誕生於20世紀初,在愛因斯坦等物理學家的推動下,徹底顛覆了我們對世界的看法,揭示了波粒二象性等令人驚訝的概念,也帶來電晶體、雷射、積體電路、電腦等重大發明。比較少被討論的是,第二次量子革命的發展始於1935年愛因斯坦和玻爾之間的爭論,到了1960年代末期才因為單一粒子的實驗而讓這場革命成為可能。這場革命依然在我們眼前進行,它的基礎是糾纏粒子的概念──即使粒子相距非常遙遠,糾纏粒子之間卻存在異常強大的關聯性。這個概念在1980年代初期,透過阿蘭.阿斯佩的實驗得到驗證,而且已經有了具體應用,特別是在密碼學的領域。這個概念可能會帶來諸如量子計算的新技術 ...
