Černé díry leží tam, kde dříve zářily nejhmotnější hvězdy, v centrech galaxií a na hranici našeho současného chápání. Jsou to přirozeně se vyskytující objekty, nevyhnutelné výtvory gravitace, pokud se příliš mnoho hmoty zhroutí do dostatečně malého prostoru. A i když je naše přírodní zákony předpovídají, nedokážou je zcela popsat. Fyzici věnují celé své kariéry hledání problémů, provádějí experimenty a pátrají po všem, co nelze vysvětlit známými zákony. Na rostoucím počtu černých děr, které objevujeme rozeseté po obloze, je úžasné, že každá z nich je experimentem prováděným Přírodou, který nedokážeme vysvětlit. To znamená, že nám něco hlubokého uniká.

What does E=mc² actually mean? Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-first-century science to unpack Einstein's famous equation. Explaining and simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light - while exploding commonly held misconceptions - they demonstrate how the structure of nature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, we visit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator capable of recreating conditions that existed fractions of a second after the Big Bang.A collaboration between one of the youngest professors in the United Kingdom and a distinguished popular physicist, "Why Does E=mc²?" is one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of the theory of relativity.

Physics is about asking questions. But what are good questions? How do we understand the fundamental forces of the Universe and its remarkable uniformity? This book answers these questions.

The Quantum Universe brings together two authors on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that everyone can understand the deepest questions of science. But just what is quantum physics? How does it help us understand the universe? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And how - for all its apparently counter-intuitive ideas - can we be sure that the theory is good? The bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe has lead to some woolly pronouncements on the nature of all interconnectedness - but Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the simple and understandable theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world around us. From entangled twins to the incredible double-slit experiment, The Quantum Universe will give every reader the most up-to-date picture of that amazing subatomic world, where thousands of years of physics must be rewritten completely
