Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it underpins all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering, no computers. A century after the development of quantum mechanics, In Search of Schrödinger's Cat tells the full story of how scientists reckoned with a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin leads us into the ever more bizarre and fascinating world of the smallest particles we have discovered, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the ... |

Новата наука за това как да стареем, без да остаряваме. През 1960 г. броят на хората на възраст над 100 години е 20 хиляди. Днес е половин милион, а до 2050 г. се предвижда да стане 3 милиона, или нарастване от 150 пъти за по-малко от век. Дълго време стареенето е било възприемано като неизбежен и необратим процес, факт от живота, срещу който не можем да направим много. Болести, свързани с остаряването, са били лекувани поотделно, без да се мисли за това дали няма някаква обща причина за всички тях, някакъв ключ, който може да бъде изключен, за да се спре самият процес на стареене. Биологът и физик д-р Андрю Стийл, ... |

Editor: Roxane Gay, author of "Difficult women". ...
