The Elegant Universe
Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
With a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as graceful as the theories it so deftly explains, The Elegant Universe remains the unrivaled account of the modern search for the deepest laws of nature: "a standard that will be hard to beat" (George Johnson, New York Times Book Review). In this new 25th anniversary edition, renowned physicist and author Brian Greene-"the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today" (Washington Post)-updates his classic work with a new preface and epilogue summarizing the significant theoretical and experimental developments over the past quarter-century. From established science, including relativity and quantum mechanics, to the cutting edge of thinking on black holes, string theory, and quantum gravity, The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated thoroughly accessible and entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to comprehending how the universe works.

Die verborgene Wirklichkeit
Universum - dieser Begriff bezeichnet nicht nur den Weltraum, sondern umfasst die Gesamtheit aller Dinge in unserer Welt. Doch was wäre, wenn das Universum doch nicht die gesamte Welt darstellen würde? Wenn es zwei, drei, ja unendlich viele Universen gäbe? Dass die Idee des Multiversums, also mehrerer möglicher Universen, nicht nur Stoff für Science-Fiction-Romane ist, sondern ein wichtiges Forschungsfeld der Physik, das unseren Blick auf die Welt und unser Verständnis der Wirklichkeit verändert, zeigt Brian Greene in seinem Bestseller.Ausstattung: mit Abbildungen

Das elegante Universum
Ein Weltbestseller und Klassiker der modernen Physik - jetzt mit neuem Vorwort und einem ausführlichen neuen Nachwort zum 25-jährigen Jubiläum der ErstausgabeIn diesem internationalen Bestseller und Klassiker der modernen Physik nimmt uns Brian Greene mit auf eine faszinierende Reise zu den Grenzen unseres Verständnisses von Zeit, Raum und Materie. Als Insider stellt er uns eine der ehrgeizigsten Theorien vor, die jemals entwickelt wurden: die Superstringtheorie, nach der alle Materie aus vibrierenden Superstrings besteht. Sie soll alle grundlegenden physikalischen Gesetze unseres Universums in einer Art 'Weltformel' zusammenfassen und so ein Dilemma lösen, an dem nicht nur Einstein scheiterte, nämlich die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie mit der Quantenmechanik zu einer einheitlichen Theorie der 'Quantengravitation' zu verbinden. In seinem Kompendium unseres physikalischen Wissens gelingt es Greene, auch die abstraktesten Hypothesen der modernen Physik einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Ausstattung: mit zahlreichen s/w-Darstellungen

Bis zum Ende der Zeit
Ein neuer Blick auf den Anfang und das Ende unseres UniversumsDer weltbekannte Physiker Brian Greene schreibt die Geschichte des Universums, vom Urknall bis zu seinem Ende. Und die Geschichte des Menschen in diesem Universum. Er zeigt, wie sich in einem fast unendlichen Meer von Chaos und Unordnung Leben und Bewusstsein entwickeln konnten. Es ist eine Reise zu wandernden Planeten und wirbelnden Galaxien - und zugleich eine wunderbare Erzählung über das Streben des Menschen nach Sinn im Angesicht der Vergänglichkeit.

The Hidden Reality
The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe?<BR><BR>There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel universes populating a vast multiverse. Here, Briane Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a breathtaking journey to a multiverse comprising an endless series of big bangs, a multiverse with duplicates of every one of us, a multiverse populated by vast sheets of spacetime, a multiverse in which all we consider real are holographic illusions, and even a multiverse made purely of math--and reveals the reality hidden within each.<BR><BR>Using his trademark wit and precision, Greene presents a thrilling survey of cutting-edge physics and confronts the inevitable question: How can fundamental science progress if great swaths of reality lie beyond our reach? The Hidden Reality is a remarkable adventure through a world more vast and strange than anything we could have imagined.

Until the End of Time
From the world-renowned physicist and bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos, a captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose<BR><BR>In both time and space, the cosmos is astoundingly vast, and yet is governed by simple, elegant, universal mathematical laws.<BR><BR>On this cosmic timeline, our human era is spectacular but fleeting. Someday, we know, we will all die. And, we know, so too will the universe itself.<BR><BR>Until the End of Time is Brian Greene's breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to understand it. Greene takes us on a journey across time, from our most refined understanding of the universe's beginning, to the closest science can take us to the very end. He explores how life and mind emerged from the initial chaos, and how our minds, in coming to understand their own impermanence, seek in different ways to give meaning to experience: in story, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and our longing for the timeless, or eternal. Through a series of nested stories that explain distinct but interwoven layers of reality-from the quantum mechanics to consciousness to black holes-Greene provides us with a clearer sense of how we came to be, a finer picture of where we are now, and a firmer understanding of where we are headed.<BR><BR>Yet all this understanding, which arose with the emergence of life, will dissolve with its conclusion. Which leaves us with one realization: during our brief moment in the sun, we are tasked with the charge of finding our own meaning.<BR><BR>Let us embark.

El tejido del cosmos : espacio, tiempo y la textura de la realidad
Sabemos que espacio y tiempo forman el tejido mismo del cosmos, pero ambos conceptos siguen estando llenos de misterio. ¿Podría existir el universo sin espacio ni tiempo? ¿Podemos viajar al pasado? Brian Greene, uno de los mayores físicos mundiales y autor del best seller El universo elegante, nos propone en este nuevo libro un viaje de descubrimiento hacia nuevos tesoros del conocimiento que la física moderna ha descubierto bajo la superficie de nuestro mundo cotidiano y que nos hará mirar la realidad de un modo completamente distinto. No hay mejor libro que exponga y sintetice lo que sabemos, a principios del siglo xxi, sobre la naturaleza fundamental del universo, y ninguno lo hace, como ha dicho Freeman Dyson, 'en un lenguaje coloquial que puede entender todo el mundo'.

Fino alla fine del tempo. Mente, materia e ricerca di significato in un universo in evoluzione
L'universo è sorprendentemente vasto, eppure è governato da leggi matematiche semplici, eleganti, assolute. All'interno della linea temporale cosmica, la nostra èra risplende ma è fugace. Un giorno, il genere umano scomparirà. E l'universo farà la stessa fine... Brian Greene accompagnando i lettori in un viaggio mozzafiato, dal Big Bang alla fine del tempo, ci invita a riflettere sull'inimmaginabile vastità che ci circonda. Ci mostra come, a partire dall'ordine originario, l'universo si sia inesorabilmente spostato verso il caos mentre intanto si formavano i pianeti, le stelle e le galassie. E come poi i meccanismi biochimici, i neuroni e il pensiero si siano evoluti in una coscienza complessa, dando origine alle culture, ai miti, alla creatività artistica e alla scienza. Attraverso una serie di storie concatenate, che spiegano i diversi strati intrecciati della realtà, dalla meccanica quantistica ai buchi neri, queste pagine fanno luce sulla nostra origine, rivelandoci a che punto siamo arrivati e fin dove potremmo spingerci. Una prospettiva completamente nuova sul nostro posto nell'universo e su cosa significhi essere umani.
