À propos de ce produit
Product Information
The gripping, entertaining, and vividly-told narrative of a radical discovery that sent shockwaves through the scientific community and forever changed the way we understand the world. Werner Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle" challenged centuries of scientific understanding, placed him in direct opposition to Albert Einstein, and put Niels Bohr in the middle of one of the most heated debates in scientific history. Heisenberg's theorem stated that there were physical limits to what we could know about sub-atomic particles; this "uncertainty" would have shocking implications. In a riveting and lively account, David Lindley captures this critical episode and explains one of the most important scientific discoveries in history, which has since transcended the boundaries of science and influenced everything from literary theory to television.

Reviews
"Brilliantly captures the personalities and the science surrounding the most revolutionary principle in modern physics. This book is . . . truly thrilling." -Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe "Charmingly written and a delight to read. . . . Highlights the human element of science."- The Economist "Provides a useful précis of the mind-blowing progress of physics in the early 20th century." - The New York Times "Far and away the best popular account of the development of quantum mechanics I have encountered."-Michael D. Gordin, American Scientist, "Lindley brilliantly captures the personalities and the science surrounding the most revolutionary principle in modern physics. At stake are our deepest philosophical beliefs about reality. This book is so lucid that the issues are not merely understandable but truly thrilling." --Walter Isaacson, author of "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life" and "Einstein: His Life and Universe ""In this always smart, and often beautiful, book, David Lindley illuminates some of the most intriguing theories in physics. The ideas themselves take their shape through the equally complicated lives and hopes of scientists determined to make sense of a seemingly impossible universe. In illuminating both--the elusive and elegant laws of physics, the scientists who struggled to decipher them--"Uncertainty" rightfully reminds us that the most difficult puzzles in the world around us are solved by both our minds--and our hearts." --Deborah Blum, author of "Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death" "Lindley's description of one of the most dramatic revolutions in scientific thinking is truly fascinating. The ideas, and the lives of the originators of these ideas, become masterfully intertwined." --Mario Livio, senior astrophysicist, Space Telescope Science Institute, and author of "The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, the World's Most AstonishingNumber", "Brilliantly captures the personalities and the science surrounding the most revolutionary principle in modern physics.
