Documentary which follows the singer of US rock band Eels, Mark Everett, as he travels across America to learn about the father he never knew, quantum physicist Hugh Everett III
Documentary which tells the story of a rock star and a quantum mechanic. Mark Oliver Everett, better known as E, is the lead singer of cult US band the Eels. What most of his fans don’t know is that Mark’s father, Hugh Everett III, was one of America’s top quantum physicists. In 1957, Hugh Everett came up with a revolutionary theory that predicts the existence of parallel universes. The idea quickly seeped into popular culture but only … Ler mais
Join scientists as they grab light from across the universe to prove quantum entanglement is real
Over the past century, scientists have made huge strides in understanding the mind-bending rules that govern the microworld of atoms and subatomic particles. But these rules, called quantum mechanics, contain one particularly bizarre, unexplained phenomenon: quantum entanglement.
Imagine two subatomic particles that mirror changes in each other instantaneously over any distance – apparently without communicating. Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance” and although no one can explain how it works, scientists have already begun to harness … Ler mais
Onze dimensões, universos paralelos, e um mundo feito de cordas. Não é ficção científica, é a teoria das cordas.
O Universo Elegante: Supercordas, Dimensões Ocultas e a Busca pela Teoria Final (título original: The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory) (ISBN 0-375-70811-1) é um livro do físico Brian Greene, publicado em 1999, que introduz à teoria das cordas fornecendo uma explicação em linguagem simples e não-técnica dessa teoria, bem como suas inconsistências.
Começando com uma breve consideração da física clássica, que se concentra nos grandes conflitos da física dessa época, Greene … Ler mais
