Лучшие книги Брайана Кокса

Увлекательное и доступное объяснение самого известного в мире уравнения через повседневную жизнь.

Уравнение E=mc² визуально знакомо многим. Но далеко не все понимают его физический смысл.

В этой книге два профессора раскрывают реальный смысл, стоящий за каждым символом в легендарном уравнении Эйнштейна — и делают это с позиций современной науки.

Попутно они отвечают на вопросы, связанные с ним: что такое энергия? Что такое масса? Как скорость света связана с ними? В поисках ответа они вместе с читателем добираются до Большого адронного коллайдера в Швейцарии, объясняют, почему мы всегда движемся только вперед во времени и как объекты нашего трехмерного мира двигаются в четырехмерном времени-пространстве.

Если вы хотите понять теорию относительности и разобраться с самым известным в мире уравнением — это книга для вас. Она о том, как и из чего на самом деле соткан наш мир.

Книга для всех, кому интересны физика и устройство нашего мира.

Самый доступный и увлекательный способ ознакомиться с квантовой теорией. Брайан Кокс и Джефф Форшоу делают фундаментальные физические идеи доступными и интересными для каждого. Субатомная реальность — то, что происходит на следующем после атомов уровне — имеет неоднозначную репутацию. Квантовую теорию воспринимают как набор очень странных предположений о взаимосвязи всех вещей и поведении частиц. Что говорят физики Кокс и Форшоу? Что на неё нужно смотреть по-другому. В своей книге они рассказывают, какие наблюдения за реальным миром привели нас к квантовой теории, как она разрабатывалась и почему ученые, несмотря на всю её…

Human life is a staggeringly strange thing. On the surface of a ball of rock falling around a nuclear fireball in the blackness of a vacuum the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars and wonder where it came from. What is a human being? Objectively, nothing of consequence. Particles of dust in an infinite arena, present for an instant in eternity. Clumps of atoms in a universe with more galaxies than people. And yet a human being is necessary for the question itself to exist, and the presence of a question in the universe - any question - is the most wonderful thing. Questions require minds, and minds bring meaning. What is meaning? I don't know, except that the universe and every pointless speck inside it means something to me. I am astonished by the existence of a single atom, and find my civilisation to be an outrageous imprint on reality. I don't understand it. Nobody does, but it makes me smile. This book asks questions about our origins, our destiny, and our place in the universe. We have no right to expect answers; we have no right to even ask. But ask and wonder we do. Human Universe is first and foremost a love letter to humanity; a celebration of our outrageous fortune in existing at all. I have chosen to write my letter in the language of science, because there is no better demonstration of our magnificent ascent from dust to paragon of animals than the exponentiation of knowledge generated by science. Two million years ago we were apemen. Now we are spacemen. That has happened, as far as we know, nowhere else. That is worth celebrating.

From Titus Andronicus with the RSC to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We know him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story.
Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother’s nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalization. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of fifteen, you could say the rest is history – but that is to overlook the enormous graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know today.
This is a rags-to-riches life story like no other – a seminal autobiography that both captures Cox’s distinctive voice and his very soul.

When exactly did life begin? What really happened during the big bang - and before it? Is the universe expanding? Is dark matter real? Do we live in one of many worlds? What's more, how can we prove any of this?
This book is all about how we - any of us - can gain an understanding of the Universe in all its awe-inspiring glory. Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw take us on an epic journey of scientific exploration, revealing how the biggest questions - fr

Where are we? Are we alone? Who are we? Why are we here? What is our future?

Human Universe tackles some of the greatest questions that humans have asked to try and understand the very nature of ourselves and the Universe in which we live.
Through the endless leaps of human minds, it explores the extraordinary depth of our knowledge today and where our curiosity may lead us in the future. With groundbreaking insight it reveals how time, physics and chemistry came together to create a creature that can wonder at its own existence, blessed with an unquenchable thirst to discover not just where it came from, but how it can think, where it is going and if it is alone.

What is Life? Where did it come from? Why does it end?

In this beautiful and definitive new book, Professor Brian Cox takes us on an incredible journey to discover how a few fundamental laws gave birth to the most complex, diverse and unique force in the Universe - life itself.

There are thought to be as many as 100 million different species on Earth - each and every one governed by the same laws. Everything in the Universe, from the smallest microbe to the largest cluster of galaxies, is constructed from the same fundamental building blocks and is subject to the same laws of nature. What is true for a bacterium is true for a blue whale. This is the story of the amazing diversity and adaptability of life told through the fundamental laws that govern it. Through his voyage of discovery, Brian will explain how the astonishing inventiveness of nature came about and uncover the milestones in the epic journey from the origin of life to our own lives.

From the vast networks of subterranean freshwater caverns of the Yucatan peninsula to the unique and precious island of Madagascar, Brian will seek out the places where the biggest questions about life may be answered: what is life? Why do we need water and why does life end?

Using the latest advances in science as well as the cutting-edge graphics used in The Sunday Times bestsellers Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe, Brian will uncover the secrets of life in the most unexpected locations and in the most stunning detail.
