Arntz William - What the Bleep do we Know?
Buchanan, Mark -
Nexus: Small worlds and the groundbreaking science of Networks
(530.01 BU) Understanding small networks, chaos, order and six degrees of
separation.
Cassidy, David -
Beyond Uncertainty: Heisenberg, Quantum Physics , and the Bomb
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged
on Heisenberg's role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty,
Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context
of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist's personal
responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.
Clegg Brian -
The God Effect
(530 CL) Understanding the action-at-a-distance problem and quantum entanglement.
Dawkins, Richard -
The God Delusion
Current research in a laboratory has shown that small unicellular organisms
can be created by mixing certain chemical. If this is indeed true, evolution
could have happened without the necessity of a God, hence, the God delusion.
Deutsch, David -
The Fabric of Reality
(530.01 DE) What is ultimately real when it comes to multiple dimensions,
alternate realities and multiple universes?
Greene, Brian -
The Elegant Universe
(539.7258) Trying to weave together a complete and consistent T.O.E. or a
theory of everything. Are superstrings the answer?
Gribbin, John -
Schrodinger's Kittens & the Search for Reality
(530.01 GR) Sub atomic particles have long been understood to be at the heat
of reality. What happens when subatomic behave and react in such a way that
they defy logical explanation?
Hooper, Dan -
Dark Cosmos
(523.1 HOO) There’s the law of conservation of energy. Energy must always
be conserved; and we know about E=mc^2. So if our observation of background
radiation in conjunction with gravity predicts a certain amount matter out
in space that is significantly less than what we observe, then where is the
missing matter?
Ouellette, Jennifer -
Black Bodies and Quantum Cats
(530 OU) Scientific terms and phrases explained and reinterpreted for the
everyday reader to understand and enjoy. Making science fun.
