And no matter how diligently she searches, the only dwarves she can find are collapsed stars! Clearly, she’s not at home in her well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale, but instead in a strange new landscape that features quantum behavior, the wavelike properties of particles, and the Uncertainty Principle. She (and we) must have entered, in short, one of the worlds created by Robert Gilmore, the physicist and fabulist who brought us the classic "Alice in Quantumland."...Whether he’s recasting such classic tales as "Jack and the Quarkstalk," "Waking Beauty," or "Cinderenda and the Death of Stars," Gilmore shows us that there’s more than one way to shed light on the strange profundities of modern physics and cosmology, and what they have to tell us about the nature of time and space and motion. Black holes, dying stars, traveling backward through time to the Big Bang - they’re all here in accessible, instructive, and charmingly illustrated retellings....Robert Gilmore has | | 出版日期 | Book 2003 | | 关键词 | Big Bang; CERN; Cosmology; Gravity; Particle Physics; Quark; Universe | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-4165-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-3059-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-4165-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2003 |
