Bøger af Stephen Hawking

Den verdenskendte kosmolog og bestsellerforfatter til En kort historie om tid har efterladt os sine sidste tanker om universets største spørgsmål i dette betagende posthume værk. Hvordan opstod universet? Kan menneskeheden overleve på Jorden? Findes der intelligent liv uden for vores solsystem? Kommer kunstig intelligens til at udkonkurrere os? Igennem sin enestående karriere udvidede Stephen Hawking vores forståelse af universet og opklarede nogle af dets største mysterier. Men selv når hans teoretiske arbejde med sorte huller, imaginær tid og multivers førte hans tanker til rummets yderste grænser, troede Hawking fuldt og fast på, at videnskaben skulle spille en rolle i løsningen af Jordens største problemer. Nu hvor vi står over for potentielt katastrofale forandringer – herunder klimaforandringer, truslen om atomkrig og udviklingen af kunstig super-intelligens – har Stephen Hawking rettet sin opmærksomhed mod menneskehedens mest presserende anliggender. Med en fascinerende argumentation og karakteristisk humor er 'Korte svar på de store spørgsmål' den sidste bog fra en af historiens største begavelser, en intellektuelt stimulerende tour de force fra universets uendelige vidder til de allermest vedkommende udfordringer, som vi og vores klode står over for. En procentdel af indtægterne fra bogen går til velgørende formål.

The final book from Professor Stephen Hawking, the bestselling author of A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME and arguably the most famous scientist of our age, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS is a profound, accessible and timely reflection on the biggest questions in science.

En moderne klassiker, som har slået alle udgivelsesrekorder med 237 uger på bestsellerlisten. ”Denne bog er en forening af et barns undren og et genis intellekt. Vi rejser med ind i Hawkings univers med dyb fascination.” Sunday Time ”En af de mest fremragende videnskabelige begavelser siden Einstein.” Daily Express ”Hawking forklarer kompleks kosmologisk fysik med en medrivende blanding af klarhed og humor … en hjerne af usædvanlig kraft.” Observer

The illustrated edition of Stephen Hawking's classic work - this edition includes an appendix with updates made by Professor Hawking in 2016. In this edition, Professor Hawking explains his complex theories through a fresh visual dimension.

I 'Mesterværket – Bagom Hawkings univers' tager Stephen Hawking og Leonard Mlodinow os med på en hæsblæsende rejse gennem naturvidenskabens og filosofiens forsøg på at besvare universets og livets store spørgsmål.Bogen er en selvstændig fortsættelse til bestselleren 'Hawkings univers', men denne gang kommer vi så tæt på de store mysterier, som vi nogensinde har været før. Med glimt i øjet og imponerende overblik forklarer forfatterne selv de mest komplicerede moderne teorier på så tilgængelig, nervepirrende og spændende vis, at bogen tåler sammenligning med de bedste pagetunere.

Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance. Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell, beautifully illustrated with original artwork commissioned for this project, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking’s book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

Helps the reader understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of technologies. This book includes landmark discoveries spanning 2500 years and representing the work of mathematicians such as Euclid, Georg Cantor, Kurt Godel, Augustin Cauchy, Bernard Riemann and Alan Turing.

Hvornår og hvordan opstod universet? Hvorfor er vi her? Hvorfor er der noget frem for ingenting? Hvad udgøres virkeligheden af? Hvordan tillader naturlovene væsener som os at eksistere? Og ikke mindst: Findes der bag universets mesterværk en styrende hånd – eller tilbyder videnskaben en helt anden forklaring?Dette er nogle af de spørgsmål, som Stephen Hawking og Leonard Mlodinow stiller og besvarer i denne storslåede og betagende bog. De fortæller om den nyeste videnskabelige tænkning og universets mysterier i et letforståeligt sprog med en ganske særlig blanding af jordnær humor og svimlende overblik.‘Mesterværket – bag om Hawkings univers’ er en kortfattet, overraskende og rigt illustreret guide til store opdagelser, som ændrer vores mest fasttømrede opfattelser og trossystemer – en bog som både oplyser og provokerer i sjælden grad.

George and his best friend, Annie have been selected as junior astronauts - part of a programme that trains up young people for a trip to Mars in the future. Mysterious space missions are happening in secret, and the astronaut training they're undertaking gets scarier and scarier .

Presents scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe. This title reveals the Model dependent realism, the multi verse, the top-down theory of cosmology, the unified M-theory and discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems.

Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united into a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? In The Nature of Space and Time, two of the world's most famous physicists-Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Road to Reality)-debate these questions.The authors outline how their positions have further diverged on a number of key issues, including the spatial geometry of the universe, inflationary versus cyclic theories of the cosmos, and the black-hole information-loss paradox. Though much progress has been made, Hawking and Penrose stress that physicists still have further to go in their quest for a quantum theory of gravity.

ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS tells a compelling story, using original papers from Einstein, Copernicus, Galilei, Kepler and Newton. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking explains how these works changed the course of science, ushering astronomy and physics out of the Middle Ages and into the modern world.

In the ten years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's classic work has become a landmark volume in scientific writing, with more than nine million copies in forty languages sold worldwide. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe. But the intervening years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected. Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, as well as his own recent research, Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on wormholes and time travel, and updated the chapters throughout.

"Stephen Hawking guides readers through some of the biggest questions in the universe"--

Known for his breakthroughs in theoretical physics and his ability to make complex concepts accessible for all, Hawking was working on a final project at the time of his death: a book compiling his answers to the "big" questions that he was so often posed--questions that ranged beyond his academic field. Within these pages, he provides his personal views on our biggest challenges as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.

"Stephen Hawking guides readers through some of the biggest questions in the universe"--

Stephen Hawking was recognized as one of the greatest minds of our time and a figure of inspiration after defying his ALS diagnosis at age twenty-one. He is known for both his breakthroughs in theoretical physics as well as his ability to make complex concepts accessible for all, and was beloved for his mischievous sense of humor. At the time of his death, Hawking was working on a final project: a book compiling his answers to the "big" questions that he was so often posed--questions that ranged beyond his academic field. Within these pages, he provides his personal views on our biggest challenges as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next. Each section will be introduced by a leading thinker offering his or her own insight into Professor Hawking's contribution to our understanding. The book will also feature a foreword from Academy Award winning actor Eddie Redmayne, who portrayed Hawking in the film The Theory of Everything, and an afterword by Hawking's daughter, Lucy Hawking, as well as personal photographs and additional archival material.

Stephen Hawking legt in Zusammenarbeit mit Leonard Mlodinow sein Werk "Der große Entwurf" vor. Der britische Physiker stellt darin eine neue Theorie auf, mit deren Hilfe der Ursprung und die Entwicklung des Universums geklärt werden sollen. Eine alles umfassende "Weltformel" scheint in greifbarer Nähe...

In the years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time has established itself as a landmark volume in scientific writing. It has become an international publishing phenomenon, translated into forty languages and selling over nine million copies. The book was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe, but since that time there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawkin's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the fabric of space-time that he had projected.Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations, as well as his recent research, for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel, and updated the original chapters.In addition, to heighten understanding of complex concepts that readers may have found difficult to grasp despite the clarity and wit of Professor Hawking's writing, this edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made made possible by spectacular technological advance such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and computer generated images of three and four-dimensional realities. Detailed captions clarify these illustrations, enable readers to experience the vastness of intergalactic space, the nature of black holes, and the microcosmic world of particle physics in which matters and antimatter collide.A classic work that now brings to the reader the latest understanding of cosmology, A Brief History Of Time is the story of the ongoing search for t he tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.
