"God does not play dice with the universe." So said Albert Einstein in response to the first discoveries that launched quantum physics, as they suggested a random universe that seemed to violate the laws of common sense. This 20th-century scientific revolution completely shattered Newtonian laws, inciting a crisis of thought that challenged scientists to think differently about matter and subatomic particles.The Dreams That Stuff Is Made Of compiles the essential works from the scientists who sparked the paradigm shift that changed the face of physics forever, pushing our understanding of the universe on to an entirely new level of comprehension. Gathered in this anthology is the scholarship that shocked and befuddled the scientific world, including works by Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Erwin Schrodinger, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Richard Feynman, as well as an introduction by today's most celebrated scientist, Stephen Hawking.

Descripción del producto

Biografía del autor

Stephen Hawking is the most highly celebrated and recognized scientist alive today. He first came to mainstream prominence with the publication of A Brief History of Time, and followed with a second triumph, The Universe in a Nutshell, and most recently, The Grand Design. The media has called Hawking the most intelligent man in the world today" and the scientific heir to Einstein, Newton, and Galileo." He lives in Cambridge, England. --Este texto se refiere a la edición kindle_edition .

A Marketing Exercise - but good value from Amazon

Revisado en Reino Unido el 7 de diciembre de 2011

Compra verificada

You want to know more about the original publications of the inventors of quantum mechanics and read their own words? Then this large volume is very good value. Though what you get out of it will depend strongly on your technical background in physics and what you expect from your reading.

The selection of papers was presumably made by Stephen Hawking. If so, it is rather odd in that a number of key papers are missing. In particular Bohr's famous paper 'On the Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra' is replaced by a much later review article. No doubt this makes for easier reading but it is not in the spirit of the book as advertised. Again, the key paper by Born Heisenberg and Jordan 'On Quantum Mehanics' is not there, probably for the same reason. As usual in US/UK physics de Broglie's contribution is absent. Amazingly there are 2 long papers by David Bohm on his hidden variables interpretation of quantum mechanics (39 pp!) which has had zero influence on current physics.

The introduction by Hawking is a (very) brief history of the subject which seems to be present mainly to justify his name on the cover. It does not discuss the contents in detail. It also looks as if Hawking was not involved in the brief commentaries heading each chapter: these are attributed to Joel Allred. They will not help you to understand the papers. (If you want to know what can be done to explain the papers and their history in detail, look at '100 Years of Planck's Quantum' by Duck and Sudarshan or 'Sources of Quantum Mechanics' by van der Waerden.)

A largish proportion of this volume is taken up by review artcles and even a couple of chapters from a popular book by Gamow; hardly 'the most astounding papers ...' promised on the dust jacket. Even so, it does cover a large range - up to work by Feynman, Schwinger et al.

The book has a clear typeface, all papers have been translated and reset (expect typos) and it is nicely bound. So if you know some physics already - about degree level - it represents unbeatable value at Amazon's price. Get it for the price of a couple of drinks.

DON'T BE DECEIVED!

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 27 de diciembre de 2011

This is a great book IF you are a 3rd or 4th year physics or mathematics major. The forward is written by my personal hero, Mr. Stephen Hawking. Most of the rest of this book is a re-publishing of physics papers submitted to publication over the last century. These papers mark the major break-throughs in physics during the 20th century. It was a great idea to put these papers in one place. Trouble is, these papers were written by the brighest minds of the 20th century for other physics professors, NOT THE PUBLIC.

Mr. Hawking has gained the ear of the public over the last few years with his amazing books which enable the average person to understand what man has learned about his universe to date. We are trusting that anything he publishes on a public venue like Amazon, will be equally enjoyable and informative to the average person. If you compare those previous books as advertised on Amazon, to this book, you can't see any difference. You are led to believe it is another great book by Stephen Hawking, which some of us thirst for like children thirst for the next Harry Potter book.

I was greatly disappointed when I got into the book and realized I was reading the unedited original publications of the great physicists of the last 100 years. Not that there is anything wrong with them but I don't have a prayer of understanding the material as presented. I did well in algebra, calculus and differential equations - 40 years ago in college. Now I can just barely recognize that there are differential equations in this book - and lots of them. You had better be using higher math on a daily basis RIGHT NOW if you hope to understand anything in this book. I was trusting Mr. Hawking to translate this information into language I could understand - like he has done in his previous books.

If you have a mastery of higher mathematics and are interested in learning the history of physics on the deepest level - this book is for you. Otherwise, don't waist your money. I place the blame not on Stephen Hawking - assuming he has no control over the way his books are presented on Amazon, but the blame is on Amazon itself. They could put a short blurb like "contains advanced mathematics" or "not for the novice" or some such warning in the description but they did not. Now, I may be the only fool to buy the book without investigating further, but I doubt it. How many Hawking fans have bought this book only to find it is hopelessly over their heads? Shame on you, Amazon, for taking advantage of your customers.

Great selection, badly presented

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 19 de octubre de 2014

Compra verificada

The papers selected are great, and the introductory sections are helpful; the problem (which I'm clearly not the only one to notice -- and which also notoriously plagued the math-centered sister volume God Created the Integers) is the transcription and layout of the text.

The first thing to jump out at me was the uniform font throughout; the papers are clearly not in their original formats (as in e.g. Schwinger's similar [but narrower] collection Quantum Electrodynamics)...which wouldn't necessarily be a problem if the editor took a time to lay out the new text, but that doesn't seem to have happened here.

Worse, though, are the actual transcription errors. Since some of these were re-published translations, I thought it might be possible that the errors were in the original, but I happened to have the original cited in one case handy (the AMS/Chelsea translation of Schrodinger's papers), and a comparison of just the first two pages shows unambiguously that the fault lies with Hawking's publisher (Running Press). Most of the errors seem to be at the beginning or end of lines in the original -- as if it was scanned/OCR'd with the margins set too large.

Basically, it looks as if the papers were quickly pasted together with no copy-editing at all.

Even HAWKING is "hawking"... books, that is...

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 6 de noviembre de 2015

Compra verificada

After I got into the the text, I was surprised to find that Stephen Hawking would lend his name to this publication . It appears to be a "boot-leg" computer-scanned-and-translated reproduction of a collection of historically significant quantum physics papers gleaned from the archives of the various respected international scientific societies.

There is no index, very few references and/or footnotes, and some blatantly obnoxious failures of computer translation of mathematical expressions and equations.

All that being said, if you can get a "VERY-GOOD" copy for a reasonable price, (less than$5 plus shipping) the book offers the best opportunity I have seen for the interested reader with a good graduate-level, BASIC physics and math foundation to review the theoretical milestones bridging the gulf from Newtonian to Nuclear to Cosmic Particle Physics.

Especially without all the sci-fi mythology and P.T. Barnum showmanship currently being employed to attract a gullible public...

equations

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 31 de enero de 2019

Lots of reviews point out the errors in equations. Almost too glaring of an oversight that the first equation of the first paper (by Einstein no less) had glaring errors that would be obvious even to a lay person, left me wondering if that error in particular could even be an intentional signal by the authors not to take for granted the entirety of the content. I could be reading too much into it though.
