Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conforté par la découverte du Boson de Higgs en 2012, le modèle standard de la physique quantique décrit l'infiniment petit et nous fait entrer dans un monde peu commun où les règles du jeu se distinguent profondément de celles qui régissent notre quotidien. Les dernières découvertes en cosmologie ont montré que ces règles sont aussi utiles pour comprendre l'origine de l'univers. Cette nouvelle édition actualisée, sans formulation mathématique, explique simplement les lois particulières avec lesquelles les physiciens travaillent et qui sont à l'origine de bouleversements industriels, économiques, sociaux et politiques. En effet, le nucléaire, le laser, le transistor et les progrès récents en imagerie médicale n'auraient jamais vu le jour sans le développement de la physique quantique. Ainsi, en quelques courts chapitres, les idées qui structurent la théorie quantique sont présentées, tout en ébauchant leurs connexions avec les technologies de pointe.

Book excerpt: La physique quantique, qui décrit l'infiniment petit, nous fait entrer dans un monde étrange où les règles du jeu se distinguent profondément de celles qui régissent notre quotidien. Cet ouvrage explique le plus simplement possible ces lois bizarres de la physique quantique, que les physiciens ont dû patiemment apprivoiser. Depuis plusieurs décennies, la physique quantique se répand hors du domaine réservé des laboratoires, des amphithéâtres universitaires et des revues scientifiques. Elle s'immisce dans les yeux artificiels des lecteurs de disques, comble les lacunes des mémoires synthétiques et orchestre les myriades d'étincelles électroniques des ordinateurs. En quelques courts chapitres, ce livre présente les idées qui structurent la théorie quantique et ébauche leurs connexions avec les technologies de pointe.

Download or read book Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics written by Jean Bricmont and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains, in simple terms, with a minimum of mathematics, why things can appear to be in two places at the same time, why correlations between simultaneous events occurring far apart cannot be explained by local mechanisms, and why, nevertheless, the quantum theory can be understood in terms of matter in motion. No need to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead and alive, whether the moon is there when nobody looks at it, or whether quantum systems need an observer to acquire definite properties. The author’s inimitable and even humorous style makes the book a pleasure to read while bringing a new clarity to many of the longstanding puzzles of quantum physics.

Download or read book A Probabilistic Model of the Genotype Phenotype Relationship written by Jean-Pierre Hugot and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Probabilistic Model of the Genotype/Phenotype Relationship provides a new hypothesis on the relationship between genotype and phenotype. The main idea of the book is that this relationship is probabilistic, in other words, the genotype does not fully explain the phenotype. This idea is developed and discussed using the current knowledge on complex genetic diseases, phenotypic plasticity, canalization and others.

Download or read book Quantique au del de l trange written by Philip Ball and published by EDP Sciences. This book was released on 2023-08-07T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mécanique quantique a la réputation d’une théorie difficile d’accès et qui plus est « étrange » : « Personne ne comprend la mécanique quantique » écrivait en 1965 le prix Nobel de physique Richard Feynman. Les travaux de John Bell, les expériences menées à la fin du siècle dernier et au début de ce siècle, ainsi que les développements de l’information et de l’ordinateur quantiques, ont permis de mieux cerner le caractère étrange du monde quantique. Nous avons compris que la mécanique quantique pourrait être davantage une théorie de l’information qu’une théorie traitant d’ondes et de particules microscopiques. En évitant de tomber dans le piège d’analogies souvent trompeuses, Philip Ball expose les principes de base de la théorie quantique et en décrit les principales interprétations : Copenhague, multimondes, etc. Il montre ce que la théorie quantique nous révèle du fonctionnement intime de la nature. Nous sommes induits en erreur par notre expérience quotidienne et l’étrangeté réside dans notre compréhension, pas dans la nature elle-même. Ce livre, accessible à un large public, séduira le lecteur désireux de comprendre en profondeur la science contemporaine et d’accéder à ses développements les plus récents. « Intense, profond et extrêmement bien documenté, ce livre est celui que l’on doit lire si l’on veut acquérir une vision contemporaine et globale du monde quantique tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui », écrit la revue de la Société de physique britannique Physics World, qui lui a décerné son prix du livre de vulgarisation scientifique parmi une quarantaine de titres parus au cours de l’année 2018.

Download or read book Quantum Christian Realism written by Rocco Boni and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Christianity is rooted in a historical event: the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This is the central tenet of the Christian Faith. However there are a good number of tenets of Christianity that aren't historical at all. Rather, they are ontological. In other words, they are grounded in the nature of reality itself. In this work Rocco Boni shows how the dozen or so ontologically-based tenets of Christianity derive from the very foundations of reality; being grounded in the theistically-friendly ontology of quantum phenomenon. These tenets seem to have been built into the cosmos at the ground floor, their realization deriving from the indeterministic, immaterial, abstract nature of quantum process. This is not simply a book, it's a discovery. One that shows that the true ontic status of reality is not simply theistic, but Christian. The structure of this theistic ontology is elegant and economic, both hallmarks of scientific truth. If there were such a thing as a Theistic Unification Theory, this would be it.

Download or read book The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III written by Peter Byrne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Hugh Everett III (1930-1982) who invented a theory of multiple universes that has had a profound impact on physics and philosophy. Everett strove to bring a "rational" order to the interlacing worlds of nuclear war and physics, even as his personal world disintegrated because of his indulgent lifestyle. Using Everett's unpublished papers and dozens of interviews, the book paints a detailed portrait of a man who influenced foundational thinking in quantum mechanics by inventing a way of viewing the universe from inside (known as the universal wave function). In addition to his famous interpretation of quantum mechanics, Everett wrote one of the classic papers in game theory; invented computer algorithms that revolutionized military operations research; and did pioneering work in artificial intelligence. As a Cold Warrior, he designed systems that modelled human behaviour along rational lines, and yet he was largely oblivious to the emotional damage his irrational behaviour inflicted upon his family, lovers and business partners. But he left behind, in the papers on which this book is based, a fascinating record of his life, including correspondence with the leading scientific minds of the day, that illuminates the often bitter struggle over the interpretation of the mystery of measurement at the heart of quantum mechanics.

Download or read book Life on the Edge written by Johnjoe McFadden and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller • Life on the Edge alters our understanding of our world's fundamental dynamics through the use of quantum mechanics. Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Using first-hand experience at the cutting edge of science, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal that missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, each chapter in Life on the Edge illustrates one of life's puzzles: How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes copy themselves with such precision? Life on the Edge accessibly reveals how quantum mechanics can answer these probing questions of the universe. Guiding the reader through the rapidly unfolding discoveries of the last few years, Al-Khalili and McFadden describe the explosive new field of quantum biology and its potentially revolutionary applications, while offering insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate in these groundbreaking pages, life exists on the quantum edge. Winner, Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication

Download or read book The Fabric of the Cosmos written by Brian Greene and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes “an astonishing ride” through the universe (The New York Times) that makes us look at reality in a completely different way. Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Greene has set himself a daunting task: to explain non-intuitive, mathematical concepts like String Theory, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Inflationary Cosmology with analogies drawn from common experience. From Newton’s unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einstein’s fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanics’ entangled arena where vastly distant objects can instantaneously coordinate their behavior, Greene takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on an irresistible and revelatory journey to the new layers of reality that modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of our everyday world.

Download or read book The Poverty of Philosophy written by Philip Beitchman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poverty of Philosophy: Readings in Non and Other Philosophies and Arts of Imminence kicks off with an 8,000 word overture, “Poverty of Philosophy” introducing non-philosophy and its progenitor, François Laruelle, his inspirations by, rapports and connections with other ‘philosophers of immanence’ (Nietzsche, Henry, Deleuze, Derrida...) as well as exploring, and also drawing some conclusions as to the possibilities of its present, and/or feasible impact on culture, politics and the arts, there follows the Anthology of NON, and other Philosophies and Arts of Immanence, comprised of some 300 excerpts from some 140 published sources, many signed by Laruelle, and many of the others by French, Anglophone, as well as Eastern European writers, artists, philosophers, scholars, critics and thinkers who extend his insights in the various domains of human endeavor. Very often translated from the French, and frequently commented, these excerpts are arranged alphabetically under 88 topics, from Actor to World, the complete list of them following my introduction, in a table of contents keyed to page #’s for each of them. Following are close readings in Beitchman’s five review essays, two of works of Laruelle, and of three by scholars here very much in his wake: “The Machinery of Control (Sophie Lesueur, “Pensée machine et ordre politique”)”; “Universe, World, Philo-Fiction and Non-Action in Non-philosophy (François Laruelle, Tétralogos:)”; “Ecology, Sacred and Profane (François Laruelle, En dernière humanité: la nouvelle science écologique)”; “The Philo-Fictions of Katerina Kolozova (Cut of the Real and 5 other works)”; “A Leap through Language: Non-Philosophy, Science and the Arts (Sergueï Khoruzhiy, “La non-philosophie de François Laruelle entre le Charybde de la transraison et le Scylla du scientisme”).” These essays provide a synoptic overview of non-philosophy from its inception to its latest non-standard philosophy avatar. Generally Beitchman’s focus is on language and vocabulary, and their associated arts, principally literary and performing—and on the way terms like World, Universe, Superposition and Philo-fiction are deployed, defined, re-defined or refused definition; also how modern science, once fractals, now more Quantum and Wave theory, in concert with these imponderables, expands the horizon of the thinkable, conceivable and above all the feasible.
