Copernicus sowed the seed from which science has grown to be a dominant aspect of modern culture, fundamental in shaping our understanding of the workings of the cosmos. John Henry reveals why Copernicus was led to such a seemingly outrageous and implausible idea as a swiftly moving Earth.

Raum und Zeit sind die grosse Buhne, auf der sich unser Leben und alle irdischen und kosmischen Vorgange abspielen.Meist erleben wirRaum und Zeit als unveranderlich und unbeeinflussbar. Doch Raum und Zeit konnten Eigenschaften haben, von denen selbst Einstein nicht zu traumen wagte. Andreas Muller erlautert unser modernes und hochst faszinierendes naturwissenschaftliches Weltbildund stellt das erfolgreiche Konzept der Raumzeit vor, das vor gut hundert Jahren von Albert Einstein begrundet wurde.Daruber hinaus fuhrt er den Leserbis zu den spannendsten Fragen der Gegenwart: Gibt es mehr als drei Raumdimensionen? Sind Raum und Zeit grundsatzlich in endliche, minimale Stucke zerhackt? Werden Raum und Zeit ewig existieren? Und welche Schlussfolgerungen uber die Natur von Raum und Zeit mussen wir vor dem Hintergrund moderner Forschung ziehen?"

As end-of-the-world scenarios go, an apocalyptic collision with an asteroid or comet is the new kid on the block, gaining respectability only in the last decade of the 20th century with the realisation that the dinosaurs had been wiped out by just such an impact.

Now the science community is making up for lost time, with worldwide efforts to track the thousands of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, and plans for high-tech hardware that could deflect an incoming object from a collision course – a procedure depicted, with little regard for scientific accuracy, in several Hollywood movies.

Astrophysicist and science writer Andrew May disentangles fact from fiction in this fast-moving and entertaining account, covering the nature and history of comets and asteroids, the reason why some orbits are more hazardous than others, the devastating local and global effects that an impact event would produce, and – more optimistically – the way future space missions could avert a catastrophe.

The Supernova Story (Paperback, Revised edition): Laurence Marschall The Supernova Story (Paperback, Revised edition)
Laurence Marschall
R885 Discovery Miles 8 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Astronomers believe that a supernova is a massive explosion signaling the death of a star, causing a cosmic recycling of the chemical elements and leaving behind a pulsar, black hole, or nothing at all. In an engaging story of the life cycles of stars, Laurence Marschall tells how early astronomers identified supernovae, and how later scientists came to their current understanding, piecing together observations and historical accounts to form a theory, which was tested by intensive study of SN 1987A, the brightest supernova since 1006. He has revised and updated "The Supernova Story" to include all the latest developments concerning SN 1987A, which astronomers still watch for possible aftershocks, as well as SN 1993J, the spectacular new event in the cosmic laboratory.

Es geschah vor nicht langer Zeit, daB ein deutscher Phy siker im Vorwort eines kleinen Buches liber ein aktuelles physikalisches Gebiet dem Verleger besonders dankte, weil er die Arbeit so beschleunigt hatte, daB das Buch nicht wahrend des Druckes veraItete. Dies ist fur das Arbeitstempo der modernen Physik be zeichnend, und es konnte unter gewissen Umstanden das selbe fUr die Astronomie sein. 'Wenn der Unterzeichnete wahrend des Druckes der vorliegenden kleinen Arbeit keine ernsthaften Sorgen in derselben Richtung wie sein Kollege in der Physik zu haben brauchte, so liegt das im wesent lichen daran, daB das Buch Probleme aus der klassischen Astronomie behandeIt. Doch auf einen Punkt muB ich in diesem Zusammenhang die Aufmerksamkeit lenken: die Eddingtonsche Theorie yom inneren Bau der Sterne ist in der letzten Zeit so groBen Veranderungen ausgesetzt ge wesen, daB die Schilderung, die ich in meinen vorhedgen Buchern "Astronomische Miniaturen" (das Kapitel Scylla und Charybdis) und "Die Hauptprobleme der modernen Astronomie" davon gegeben habe, jetzt als teilweise veraltet angesehen werden muB. In der vorliegenden Arbeit ist der Gegenstand unter Berucksichtigung der letzten Entwick lungsphasen behandelt. Die Verfasser haben bei der Ausarbeitung dieses kleinen Buches an dem Programm der "Astronomischen Minia turen" festgehaIten: die Einteilung in eine Reihe kleiner - IV- Kapitel, die fiir einen wesentlichen Teil ganz unabhangig voneinander sind."
