متن يادداشت

Foreword -- Part 1: Small things. Breathing in Einstein : how we discovered everything is made of atoms and that atoms are mostly empty space ; Why God plays dice with the universe : how we discovered that things in the world of atoms happen for no reason at all ; The schizophrenic atom : how an atom can be in many places at once and do many things at once ; Uncertainty and the limits of knowledge ; why we can never know all we would like to know about atoms and why this fact makes atoms possible ; The telepathic universe : how atoms can influence each other instantly even when on opposite sides of the universe ; Identicalness and the roots of diversity : how the bewildering variety of the everyday world stems from the fact that you cannot tattoo an electron -- Part 2: Big things. The death of space and time : how we discovered that light is the rock on which the universe is founded and time and space are shifting sands ; E=mc² and the weight of sunshine : how we discovered that ordinary matter contains a million times the destructive power of dynamite ; The force of gravity does not exist : how we discovered the truth about gravity and came face to face with black holes, wormholes, and time machines ; The ultimate rabbit out of a hat : how we learnt that the universe has not existed forever but was born in a titanic explosion 13.7 billion years ago -- Glossary -- Further reading -- Index.
