Jim Al-Khalili Sean B. Carroll

Quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host "Fascinating and exhilarating—Sean B. Carroll at his very best."— Jim Al-Khalili offers a fascinating and illuminating look at what Bill Bryson, author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants physics reveals about the world From acclaimed writer and biologist Sean B. Carroll, a rollicking, awe-inspiring story of the surprising power of chance in our lives Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al and the world -Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? Does everything happen for a reason or are some things left to chance? Philosophers and theologians have Al-Khalili begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of space, time, pondered these questions for millennia, but startling scientific discoveries over energy, and matter, and then describes the three pillars of modern physics— the past half century are revealing that we live in a world driven by chance. A quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics—showing how all three must Series of Fortunate Events tells the story of the awesome power of chance and come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality. Using how it is the surprising source of all the beauty and diversity in the living world. wonderful examples and thought-provoking analogies, Al-Khalili illuminates the physics of the extreme cosmic and quantum scales, the speculative frontiers of Like every other species, we humans are here by accident. But it is shocking just the field, and the physics that underpins our everyday experiences and how many things—any of which might never have occurred—had to happen in technologies, bringing the reader up to speed with the biggest ideas in physics in certain ways for any of us to exist. From an extremely improbable asteroid just a few sittings. Physics is revealed as an intrepid human quest for ever more impact, to the wild gyrations of the Ice Age, to invisible accidents in our parents' foundational principles that accurately explain the natural world we see around gonads, we are all here through an astonishing series of fortunate events. And us, an undertaking guided by core values such as honesty and doubt. The chance continues to reign every day over the razor-thin line between our life and knowledge discovered by physics both empowers and humbles us, and still, death. physics continues to delve valiantly into the unknown.

This is a relatively small book about a really big idea. It is also a spirited tale. Making even the most enigmatic scientific ideas accessible and captivating, this Drawing inspiration from Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, and other great deeply insightful book illuminates why physics matters to everyone and calls one thinkers, and crafted by one of today's most accomplished science storytellers, A and all to share in the profound adventure of seeking truth in the world around Series of Fortunate Events is an irresistibly entertaining and thought-provoking us. account of one of the most important but least appreciated facts of life.

Patients lose push the frontiers of what is possible the ability to work and live independently, to remember and recognize. There is still no proven way to treat Alzheimer’s because its causes remain unknown. Science may be known for banishing the demons of superstition from the modern world.

She presents the leading hypotheses for done in the imagination—and these impish assistants helped scientists achieve what causes Alzheimer’s; discusses each hypothesis’s tangled origins, merits, and major breakthroughs that pushed forward the frontiers of science and gaps; and details their successes and failures.
