This was an awesome journey that gave me a sense of being a part of a universe aware of itself. The trip goes in a very logical order and the writing is clear and entertaining as well. It has many illustrations. I read this in ebook format on a tablet so that I could zoom in on the images and see them in color. The science is made understandable, or at least as much as is possible when we get down to those very small bits. This largish-format color-illustration book summarizes all known reality on all 63 order-of-magnitude scales from the whole observable universe (10^27 meters) down to the Planck length (10^-35 m). Except for 16 "empty" (?) scales between elementary particles and the Planck length, each scale description is centered around an anchoring illustration. (I was a little disappointed that not every one of these anchor images zooms in on the exact center of its predecessor, but perhaps that would be difficult or impossible to arrange.) The volume would be a beautiful and informative intro-to-science book for those in need of such. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and artist Ron Miller take us on an epic tour through all known scales of reality, from the largest possible magnitude to the smallest. Drawing on cutting-edge science, they begin at the limits of the observable universe, a scale spanning 10^27 meters -- about 93 billion light-years. And they end in the subatomic realm, at 10^-35 meters, where the fabric of space-time itself confounds all known rules of physics. In between are galaxies, stars and planets, oceans and continents, plants and animals, microorganisms, atoms, and much, much more. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
