Meeting the Universe Halfway is an ambitious book with far-reaching implications for numerous fields in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In this volume, Karen Barad, theoretical physicist and feminist theorist, elaborates her theory of agential realism. Offering an account of the world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural and social realm...(展开全部)

安东·蔡林格（Anton Zeilinger） 奥地利籍物理学家，现任奥地利科学院院长。2022年获得诺贝尔物理学奖。 他的论文共被引用94000余次，并于2014年进入汤森路透“高引用科学家”榜单。塞林格长期从事量子物理和量子信息研究，是国际上量子物理基础检验和量子信息领域的先驱和重要开拓者。无论是理论还是实验，塞林格在量子物理基础检验方面建立了始创性的功绩。他曾与合作者在国际上率先开展中子、原子、大分子的量子干涉实验，实现了无局域性漏洞、无探测效率漏洞的量子力学非定域性检验，提出并在实验中制备首个多粒子纠缠态（GHZ态），这在量子力学基础检验和量子信息中起着关键作用。基于量子物理的基础检验，塞林格与同事开发出了多光子干涉度量学，进一步把它们广泛用于量子信息处理，具体包括量子密集编码、远距离量子通信、光量子计算等领域。其中，他在1997年首次实现量...(展开全部)

A brilliantly original and richly illuminating exploration of entanglement, the seemingly telepathic communication between two separated particles—one of the fundamental concepts of quantum physics. In 1935, in what would become the most cited of all of his papers, Albert Einstein showed that quantum mechanics predicted such a correlation, which he dubbed “spooky action at a d...(展开全部)

Selected as a Book of the Year by Mail on Sunday and Financial Times 66 million years ago, a ten-mile-wide object from outer space hurtled into the Earth at incredible speed and destroyed the dinosaurs, along with three-quarters of the other species on the planet. Where did it come from, and why? And how is this connected to dark matter – the most mysterious, elusive stuff in t...(展开全部)

In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Professor Lisa Randall, one of today’s most influential theoretical physicists, takes readers on an intellectual adventure through the history of the cosmos, showing how events in the farthest reaches of the Universe created the conditions for life—and death—on our planet. Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of a city crashed into E...(展开全部)

👨🏼‍🏫 蒂博·达穆尔（Thibault Damour） 1951年生于里昂，法国理论物理学家，法国高等科学研究院教授，法国科学院院士，以关于黑洞、脉冲星、引力波和量子宇宙的开创性研究而闻名于学术界。他收获了很多奖项，其中包括享有盛誉的爱因斯坦科学奖。 👨‍🎨 马蒂厄·布尔尼亚（Mathieu Burniat） 1984年生于布鲁塞尔，很年轻时就痴迷于图像艺术，2007年获得比利时康布尔国立视觉艺术高等学校的工业设计文凭。

What can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoretical physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or flights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and bestselling author Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are just as suscep...(展开全部)
