Krátky popis
For particularly brilliant theoretical physicists like James Clerk
Maxwell, Paul Dirac or Albert Einstein, the search for mathematical
truths - via ever more mind-boggling numbers - led to strange new
understandings of reality. But what are these mysterious numbers
that explain the universe?In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find
Them, leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio
Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most
extraordinary numbers in physics. These include Graham's number,
which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way,
your head would collapse into a singularity, TREE(3), whose finite
value could never be reached before the universe reset itself, and
10^{-120}, which measures the desperately unlikely balance of
energy the universe needs to exist.. . Leading us down the rabbit
hole to the inner workings of reality, Padilla demonstrates how
these unusual numbers are the key to unlocking such mind-bending
phenomena as black holes, entropy and the problem of the
cosmological constant, which shows that our two best ways of
understanding the universe contradict one another.Combining
cutting-edge science with an entertaining cosmic quest, Fantastic
Numbers and Where to Find Them is an electrifying, head-twisting
guide to the most fundamental truths of the universe.
