Now that was just the year 2010 (Odyssey 2) and taking advantage of these pathetic dates on which people often get gifts and such other Memec that I love, I share with you some of my readings from the last I had the pleasure of a few books to recommend that your pathetic swelled libraries. At the end of the day, almost everything I've learned in this shitty life is well in books or in bed. And as I'm sure that on the latter will accept no advice or suggestions, I will focus on those. You see, since last September, in my spare time has passed before my round glasses lirondo the following books which I comment very briefly below:
Are you joking, Mr. Feynman! (Richard P. Feynman)
A hilarious autobiographical book full of anecdotes about the eventful life of the Nobel Prize in physics, Richard Feynman. Entertaining essay on how it operated one of the most brilliant minds has given the human species throughout its history. Gifted with an inquiring mind perennial, the book tells us with a grace bombproof (actively worked on the Manhattan Project) their scientific expertise, but also vital, skilled break open the safes, a member of a Brazilian samba school, Flirt and cantankerous ...
In short, a book highly recommended although the English version is somewhat plagued by numerous typographical errors.
Uncertainty (David Lindley)
A great history of the development of quantum mechanics, in particular, which had to do with the Copenhagen school, led by Niels Bohr and the crucial roles played by physical as Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, among others.
Very enjoyable and recommended one hundred percent.
The Science of Heroes (Yvonne Carts-Powell)
As the title indicates, this is a book that we review all the superpowers of the characters from the popular TV series and try to justify, argue or reject its alleged scientific bases. Book
hopeless geeks. I could not help reading it.
In search of the multiverse (John Gribbin)
extremely interesting and stimulating book about the multiverse model in modern physics. Short reading, but perhaps too hard at times. Difficult to understand for amateurs with little base.
The Universe in a Nutshell (Stephen Hawking)
not stand Hawking as a popularizer. I think as he gets older, we spend heavy jokes with his books. Because you can not laugh at the face, it does with the printed letters. The chapters that talk about strings, membranes, p-branes, bends time and Tarzan fucking in verse, are merely teasing the staff. Am I clear?
That's not in my science book (Kate Kelly)
LightMost of all (wink, wink, almost prefer to Hawking). No wonder the title, since all the talk inside the book does not deserve at all to be in any science book. Science Poquita and idem much history. Should have been titled differently. I bought deceived, cheated and read what I corrected many typographical errors. Completely dispensable.
War black holes (Leonard Susskind)
Another absolute gem. The story concerning the question of whether the information (in the absolute physical sense of the term) disappears upon evaporation a black hole. And verse told by one of its main characters and explained with crystal clarity. Stephen Hawking himself Susskind should learn from all aspects, as indeed had to do. How to string theory or the principles of complementarity of the black hole and holographic settled the issue.
The new time travelers (David Toomey)
An extensive review of the travel time from the standpoint of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Its pages gizmos parade to travel in time (cylinders, tubes, worm holes, cosmic strings, etc..) Paradoxes, self-consistency, causality violation and much more.
The downside I see is that, possibly, try to cover too much ground in a very small area (less than 300 pages), which in many respects falls short, especially in light of exposure. It also attributed this to the non-scientific profile of the author (a professor of English), although it is very commendable the enormous quantity, quality and variety of references. Anyway, a great book.
physical Conversations with my dog \u200b\u200b (Chad Orzel)
Awesome. Clear. Dissemination of high quality, in a simple but very strict. High-level quantum mechanics accessible to nearly everyone: measuring superposition of states, uncertainty, tunneling entanglement, teleportation, etc.. And one final glorious chapter devoted to the quantum Pseudo charlatans that they are trying to sell perpetual motion or alternative medicines. Essential.
And from here, you must decide for yourselves. A reading!
