Tietoja tekijästä
Born in Odessa, Russia, George Gamow, the son of a teacher, studied at the University of Leningrad, becoming professor of physics in 1931. He emigrated to the United States in 1933 and taught at George Washington University (1934-56) and at the University of Colorado (1956-68). His scientific work näytä lisää covered many fields, mostly related to nuclear physics. In the field of molecular biology, Gamow suggested the triplet mechanism for coding DNA. He and his associate Ralph Alpher developed a detailed model of the early stages of cosmic evolution in the "big bang" theory. Although Gamow's basic assumption that the primordial universe contained only neutrons was incorrect, this assumption stimulated a great deal of subsequent work in cosmology. Gamow wrote 30 popular books on astronomy, physics, and related sciences. In his "Mr. Tompkins" series (one of the most famous), Gamow used the figure of a curious, interested bank clerk as a protagonist for various journeys into quantum physics and gravity. His sense of humor is evident in his books and in his scientific career. For example, one of the key papers on the "big bang" theory is called the alpha-beta-gamma paper. In 1956, UNESCO awarded Gamow the Kalinga Prize for science writing. (Bowker Author Biography) näytä vähemmän

"'Faust'" handler om en Faust-parodi, skrevet og opført af adskillige af Bohrs elever.
"Noter til 'Faust'" handler om hvad Faust-parodien egentlig handler om. Fx snakkes der om en vægtløs neutron, men det er neutrinoen, der menes. Osv.
Sjov lille bog, der ikke går af vejen for at smide nogle ret indviklede formler ind.… (lisätietoja)
