Komputery grają już w szachy na poziomie arcymistrzowskim, ale czy rozumieją tę grę tak samo jak my? Czy komputer może kiedykolwiek działać identycznie jak ludzki umysł? W tej pasjonującej i w wielu miejscach kontrowersyjnej książce Roger Penrose – wybitny fizyk i zdobywca Nagrody Nobla w 2020 roku - przedstawia pogląd, że istnieją pewne aspekty ludzkiego myślenia, których maszyna nigdy nie będzie mogła naśladować. Penrose bada, co fizyka i matematyka mogą, a czego nie mogą nam powiedzieć o sposobie funkcjonowania umysłu, i co musimy wiedzieć, aby zrozumieć fizyczne procesy leżące u podstaw świadomości. Autor dochodzi do wniosku, że do wyjaśnienia działania umysłu konieczne są jeszcze głębsze prawa niż mechanika kwantowa. Aby wesprzeć tę tezę, Penrose zabiera czytelnika w cudowną podróż, która obejmuje takie tematy jak liczby zespolone, maszyny Turinga, teoria złożoności, mechanika kwantowa, przestrzenie fazowe, czarne dziury, białe dziury, promieniowanie Hawkinga, entropia, quasi-kryształy, struktura mózgu i dziesiątki innych pasjonujących zagadnień. Nowy umysł cesarza to książka dla wszystkich, którzy poważnie interesują się współczesną fizyką i jej związkiem z kwestiami filozoficznymi, jak również ważny głos w debacie nad przyszłością sztucznej inteligencji.

Da oltre un secolo la fisica teorica sembra progredire in una marcia inarrestabile di trionfi. Dopo le grandi rivoluzioni della relatività einsteiniana e della meccanica quantistica, la ricerca del Santo Graal di una Teoria del Tutto ha prodotto frutti clamorosi: il modello cosmologico standard ci ha permesso di definire l'evoluzione dell'universo dal Big Bang fino ai suoi possibili destini ultimi, mentre l'imponente architettura matematica della teoria delle stringhe ci offre una visione elegante della struttura essenziale della materia e dello spaziotempo. Tutto bene, dunque?Roger Penrose ci mostra con la consueta forza delle sue argomentazioni che le cose non stanno esattamente così. Quanto l'indiscutibile eleganza della teoria delle stringhe e la sua conseguente popolarità impediscono di dedicare le nostre ricerche a ipotesi forse meno spettacolari ma più solide? Quale base reale hanno i voli di fantasia delle teorie cosmologiche attuali, erette sul dogma del modello inflazionario? E la precisione straordinaria delle predizioni della meccanica quantistica giustifica la fede cieca nell'affidabilità dei suoi traballanti fondamenti concettuali? Con lo sguardo penetrante, l'originalità di pensiero e l'indipendenza di giudizio che da sempre ne contraddistinguono la ricerca scientifica e l'opera di divulgazione, in questo suo nuovo saggio Penrose ci fornisce uno spaccato profondo e sorprendente del valore e delle debolezze della nuova scienza fondamentale.

In dem Grundlagenwerk zur modernen Kosmologie wendet der Autor thermodynamische Konzepte an, um die Entwicklung des Universums vom Urknall über den Endknall hin zu einem neuen Zyklus von Raum und Zeit zu beschreiben. Dabei kommt er nahezu ohne Formeln aus.

From the best-selling author of The Emperor’s New Mind and The Road to Reality, a groundbreaking book that provides new views on three of cosmology’s most profound questions: What, if anything, came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? What is its ultimate future?Current understanding of our universe dictates that all matter will eventually thin out to zero density, with huge black holes finally evaporating away into massless energy. Roger Penrose—one of the most innovative mathematicians of our time—turns around this predominant picture of the universe’s “heat death,” arguing how the expected ultimate fate of our accelerating, expanding universe can actually be reinterpreted as the “Big Bang” of a new one.Along the way to this remarkable cosmological picture, Penrose sheds new light on basic principles that underlie the behavior of our universe, describing various standard and nonstandard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, and the key status of black holes. Ideal for both the amateur astronomer and the advanced physicist—with plenty of exciting insights for each—Cycles of Time is certain to provoke and challenge.Intellectually thrilling and accessible, this is another essential guide to the universe from one of our preeminent thinkers.

Fearful Symmetry brings the incredible discoveries of contemporary physics within everyone's grasp. A. Zee, a distinguished physicist and skillful expositor, tells the exciting story of how today's theoretical physicists are following Einstein in their search for the beauty and simplicity of Nature. Animated by a sense of reverence and whimsy, the book describes the majestic sweep and accomplishments of twentieth-century physics. In the end, we stand in awe before the grand vision of modern physics--one of the greatest chapters in the intellectual history of humankind.

Roger Penrose, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, presents the only comprehensive and comprehensible account of the physics of the universe. From the very first attempts by the Greeks to grapple with the complexities of our known world to the latest application of infinity in physics, The Road to Reality carefully explores the movement of the smallest atomic particles and reaches into the vastness of intergalactic space. Here, Penrose examines the mathematical foundations of the physical universe, exposing the underlying beauty of physics and giving us one the most important works in modern science writing.

Aimed at the general reader, this guide to the universe provides a comprehensive account of the present understanding of the physical universe, and the essentials of its underlying mathematical theory.

Ve chvíli, kdy krach nadnárodní společnosti Eupacus rozpoutá totální kolaps pozemské ekonomiky, zůstane na Marsu pět tisíc vědců, techniků i obyčejných turistů, odříznutých od zbytku lidstva. Žádné vesmírné lodě s turisty a materiálem již nepřiletí, televize přestala vysílat, pozemské komunikační stanice jsou mimo provoz. Osazenstvo několika kopulí je na nehostinné planetě odkázáno jen samo na sebe a rozhodne se nejen bojovat o přežití, ale také se pokusit vybudovat lepší, spravedlivější společnost, v níž by katastrofy, jaká právě postihla Zemi, neměly místo. Vyprávění několika hlavních protagonistů nám přiblíží první hektické období utváření nové společnosti a seznámí nás s těžko pochopitelnými výzkumy skupiny vědců, pátrajících po prchavé skvrně Omega, základní stavebnice hmoty. A kromě toho všeho je tu Mars. Nehybná, mlčící planeta, která však promlouvá k těm, kdo jsou schopni ji uslyšet.

Focusing on the theory of twistors and 2-spinors, this book explores their application to space-time geometry, highlighting their growing significance in understanding physical laws. It offers an in-depth examination of the conformal approach to space-time infinity, discussing general-relativistic mass and angular momentum. Additionally, the text provides a thorough spinorial classification of the full space-time curvature tensor and delves into the geometry of null geodesics, making it a valuable resource for those studying advanced concepts in physics and mathematics.
