Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misurare il tempo è qualcosa di innato per l’uomo: il nostro stesso organismo funziona secondo cicli scanditi dalla rotazione della Terra intorno al Sole. Ma se un tempo bastavano i calendari a segnalare l’arrivo delle stagioni e a indicare quando iniziare i lavori nei campi, oggi le cose sono cambiate: i nostri ritmi sono scanditi da orologi atomici disseminati nei laboratori di ricerca, nelle aziende e in decine di satelliti artificiali in orbita costante sopra di noi. Da un lato, la loro funzione è sincronizzare tutte le attività in corso sul pianeta, dal trasporto dei passeggeri alle operazioni in borsa, dalla ricerca scientifica alle trasmissioni tv e radio. Dall’altro, la loro enorme precisione è importante per rispondere alle domande ancora aperte della fisica fondamentale o per scrutare l’ignoto dell’universo con i radiotelescopi. Le clessidre degli Egizi avevano uno scarto di qualche minuto ogni ora, gli orologi più precisi di oggi perdono un secondo ogni 4,5 miliardi di anni. Perché l’uomo cerca una precisione sempre più ossessiva nella misurazione del tempo? Come è possibile trovare nell’atomo questa precisione e trasferirla alla scienza o alla vita di tutti i giorni? Dal calendario Maya a quello gregoriano, dal GPS agli orologi ottici, dal raffreddamento laser alla velocità del neutrino, il volume di Davide Calonico e Riccardo Oldani risponde a queste domande, ripercorrendo tutta la storia della metrologia del tempo e descrivendo sia le tecnologie sviluppate dall'uomo nel corso dei secoli in un intenso rapporto con la fisica, sia le ricadute e i miglioramenti costantemente generati sulla nostra vita.
Book Synopsis Imago Cosmi by : Daniele L. R. Marini
Download or read book Imago Cosmi written by Daniele L. R. Marini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader on an exploration of the Cosmos, from Mesopotamia and Egypt to China; it unveils the fascinating development of astronomy and mathematics. After an overview of the origins of these subjects, highlighting the contributions of Greek astronomers, the Arab culture, and Copernicus' solar system model, the book delves into the revolutionary work of Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton, leading to a comprehensive understanding of the solar system. Special attention is given to the instruments used by ancient astronomers, including the most important astronomical clocks and planetary machines. In light of this, the author examines Kepler's almost unknown design of a planetary machine and offers an interpretation using virtual reality techniques. The book also highlights the Chinese view of the Cosmos and the evolution of its astronomy and astronomical machines, offering readers a unique perspective and insight into the relationship between astronomy and technology in different cultures. Finally, the author provides a practical approach to understanding the construction and mechanics of astronomical machines, exploring the process of designing and manufacturing a Tellurium. The reading is enriched with short videos of the Tellurium, along with a translation of the description of the planetary machine by Christiaan Huygens. In addition, it provides a unique glimpse into the religious influences on astronomical studies during the mid-1700s through the translation of Johann Albrecht Bengel's book Cyclus. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and technology. It appeals to astronomers, mathematicians, physicists, and historians of science and technology alike, providing fascinating descriptions and insightful analysis of the vision of the Cosmos from its earliest conceptions to the present day.
Book Synopsis Atomism in Philosophy by : Ugo Zilioli
Download or read book Atomism in Philosophy written by Ugo Zilioli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of matter and the idea of indivisible parts has fascinated philosophers, historians, scientists and physicists from antiquity to the present day. This collection covers the richness of its history, starting with how the Ancient Greeks came to assume the existence of atoms and concluding with contemporary metaphysical debates about structure, time and reality. Focusing on important moments in the history of human thought when the debate about atomism was particularly flourishing and transformative for the scientific and philosophical spirit of the time, this collection covers: - The discovery of atomism in ancient philosophy - Ancient non-Western, Arabic and late Medieval thought - The Renaissance, when along with the re-discovery of ancient thought, atomism became once again an important doctrine to be fully debated - Logical atomism in early analytic philosophy, with Russell and Wittgenstein - Atomism in Liberalism and Marxism - Atomism and the philosophy of time - Atomism in contemporary metaphysics - Atomism and the sciences Featuring 28 chapters by leading and younger scholars, this valuable collection reveals the development of one of philosophy's central doctrines across 2,500 years and within a broad range of philosophical traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this absorbing account of life with the great atomic scientist Enrico Fermi, Laura Fermi tells the story of their emigration to the United States in the 1930s—part of the widespread movement of scientists from Europe to the New World that was so important to the development of the first atomic bomb. Combining intellectual biography and social history, Laura Fermi traces her husband's career from his childhood, when he taught himself physics, through his rise in the Italian university system concurrent with the rise of fascism, to his receipt of the Nobel Prize, which offered a perfect opportunity to flee the country without arousing official suspicion, and his odyssey to the United States.
Book Synopsis The Party's Over by : Richard Heinberg
Download or read book The Party's Over written by Richard Heinberg and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is about to run out of cheap oil and change dramatically. Within the next few years, global production will peak. Thereafter, even if industrial societies begin to switch to alternative energy sources, they will have less net energy each year to do all the work essential to the survival of complex societies. We are entering a new era, as different from the industrial era as the latter was from medieval times. In The Party's Over , Richard Heinberg places this momentous transition in historical context, showing how industrialism arose from the harnessing of fossil fuels, how competition to control access to oil shaped the geopolitics of the 20th century, and how contention for dwindling energy resources in the 21st century will lead to resource wars in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South America. He describes the likely impacts of oil depletion, and all of the energy alternatives. Predicting chaos unless the U.S. -- the world's foremost oil consumer -- is willing to join with other countries to implement a global program of resource conservation and sharing, he also recommends a "managed collapse" that might make way for a slower-paced, low-energy, sustainable society in the future. More readable than other accounts of this issue, with fuller discussion of the context, social implications, and recommendations for personal, community, national, and global action, Heinberg's updated book is a riveting wake-up call for humankind as the oil era winds down, and a critical tool for understanding and influencing current U.S. foreign policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most challenging issues of the 21st century is the impending separation of sex (in bed) and reproduction (under the microscope) as a result of recent advances in contraception and assisted reproduction. Many of the ethical and societal issues associated with these new reproductive technologies, notably intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), are raised in an unusual format — namely in dialogic form — which is both entertaining and pedagogically informative./a
