Download or read book Le origini dell universo written by John Barrow and published by Bur. This book was released on 2011-03-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come, quando e perché è nato il cosmo? Qual è l'origine del tempo e dello spazio? Come possiamo definire il 'nulla' primordiale? Fino a dove la scienza può risalire alle cause e ai fattori che determinano la realtà? Sono quesiti intorno ai quali si interrogano senza sosta da molti decenni i cosmologi moderni. John Barrow, uno dei più noti scienziati contemporanei, presenta le più recenti ipotesi della fisica sulla natura del tempo, sull''universo inflazionario' e sui 'cunicoli'. Una breve storia dell'Inizio per i non iniziati, che dà occasione di aggiungere alcuni tasselli al mosaico delle conoscenze, senza dimenticare però i limiti del territorio da cui questo sapere è dedotto. Un itinerario affascinante e allo stesso tempo inquietante, dove 'i segreti più profondi sono quelli che rimangono non svelati'.

Download or read book Stellar Spectral Classification written by Richard O. Gray and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-29 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leading experts in the field, Stellar Spectral Classification is the only book to comprehensively discuss both the foundations and most up-to-date techniques of MK and other spectral classification systems. Definitive and encyclopedic, the book introduces the astrophysics of spectroscopy, reviews the entire field of stellar astronomy, and shows how the well-tested methods of spectral classification are a powerful discovery tool for graduate students and researchers working in astronomy and astrophysics. The book begins with a historical survey, followed by chapters discussing the entire range of stellar phenomena, from brown dwarfs to supernovae. The authors account for advances in the field, including the addition of the L and T dwarf classes; the revision of the carbon star, Wolf-Rayet, and white dwarf classification schemes; and the application of neural nets to spectral classification. Copious figures illustrate the morphology of stellar spectra, and the book incorporates recent discoveries from earth-based and satellite data. Many examples of spectra are given in the red, ultraviolet, and infrared regions, as well as in the traditional blue-violet optical region, all of which are useful for researchers identifying stellar and galactic spectra. This essential reference includes a glossary, handy appendixes and tables, an index, and a Web-based resource of spectra. In addition to the authors, the contributors are Adam J. Burgasser, Margaret M. Hanson, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, and Nolan R. Walborn.
Download or read book Cinema Stories written by Alexander Kluge and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirty-eight tales of Cinema Stories combine fact and fiction, and they all revolve around movie-making. The book compresses a lifetime of feeling, thought, and practice: Kluge -- considered the father of New German Cinema -- is an inventive wellspring of narrative notions. "The power of his prose," as Small Press noted, "exudes the sort of pregnant richness one might find in the brief scenarios of unknown films." Cinema Stories is a treasure box of cinematic lore and movie magic by "Alexander Kluge, that most enlightened of writers" (W. G. Sebald). Alexander Kluge, born in Germany in 1932, is a world-famous author and filmmaker (his 23 films include Yesterday Girl, The Female Patriot, The Candidate), a lawyer, and a media magnate. He has won Germany\'s highest literary award, the Georg Büchner Prize.

Download or read book The Analysis of Starlight written by J. B. Hearnshaw and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1990-04-19 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed pedagogical account of the equation of state and its applications in several important and fast growing topics in theoretical physics, chemistry and engineering. This book is the storv of the analysis of starlight by astronomical spectroscopy. It describes the development of the subject from the time of Joseph Fraunhofer, who, in 1814, used a telescope-mounted prism to observe the spectral light emitted from several bright stars. He discovered that light was missing at certain colours (wavelengths) in the starlight, and these so-called spectral lines were subsequently shown to hold clues to the nature of the stars themselves. The book explains how the classification of stars using their line spectra developed into a major branch of astronomy whilst new methods in astrophysics made possible the approximate quantitative analysis of spectral lines in the 1920s and 1930s. After the Second World War these techniques were considerably improved when computers were programmed to model the structure of the outer layers of stars. Basic concepts in spectroscopy and spectral analysis are also covered and. finally. Dr Hearnshaw comments on the stellar spectroscopy of some individual star.
Download or read book Improbable Planet written by Hugh Ross and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latest Scientific Discoveries Point to an Intentional Creator Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade. An understanding of what is required to make possible a large human population and advanced civilizations has raised profound questions about life, our purpose, and our destiny. Are we really just the result of innumerable coincidences? Or is there a more reasonable explanation? This fascinating book helps nonscientists understand the countless miracles that undergird the exquisitely fine-tuned planet we call home--as if Someone had us in mind all along.
Download or read book Quando si accesero le stelle written by Guido Tonelli and published by Feltrinelli Editore. This book was released on 2022-10-18T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come è nato l’universo? Ciascuno di noi, alzando gli occhi verso il cielo stellato, almeno una volta si è posto questa domanda. La stessa che forse riecheggiava già nelle caverne abitate dai nostri più lontani progenitori, i primi Sapiens o i Neanderthal. Oggi la scienza è in grado di spiegare come è nato l’universo. A differenza dei miti dell’antichità ci parla di particelle infinitamente piccole e di corpi celesti dalle dimensioni smisurate e ci offre visioni emozionanti che nascono da intuizioni geniali, ma si tratta ancora del racconto delle nostre origini. A guidare questo viaggio straordinario nel nostro passato più remoto è uno scienziato di fama mondiale che ha dedicato la vita alla ricerca e lavora al Cern di Ginevra, dove ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella scoperta del bosone di Higgs. Le sue parole ci conducono indietro nel tempo, fino a 13,8 miliardi di anni fa. In modo semplice e con un linguaggio adatto a ragazze e ragazzi ci fa assistere a quei momenti straordinari che hanno dato origine a un universo materiale: il nostro. E, seguendo questo racconto, ci sembra di poter dare risposta al quesito che da sempre guida il genere umano: come siamo arrivati fin qui oggi? E cosa ci riserva il futuro?
