terraformer Mars : quelles percées scientifiques nous attendent d'ici à 2100 ? En quoi vont-elles révolutionner notre quotidien ? Pour le savoir, suivez Michio Kaku, spécialiste mondial de la théorie des cordes, et entreprenez un magistral voyage dans le temps ! Découvrez une vision stupéfiante de notre futur, fondée non sur des spéculations, mais bien sur des technologies qui existent déjà à titre expérimental dans une poignée de laboratoires. Loin d'une compilation hasardeuse, ce livre est le fruit d'une colossale enquête auprès de 300 chercheurs de haut vol, afin de délimiter les frontières de la connaissance dans les domaines du calcul formel, de l'intelligence artificielle, de la physique quantique, de la médecine, des nanotechnologies, du spatial, etc. Fantastique conteur, Michio Kaku met en scène les dernières avancées de la science pour mieux nous surprendre, nous émerveiller - voire nous faire peur - par ses intuitions géniales, toutes compatibles avec les lois de la physique... actuellement connues !

résumer en une formule d'une concision parfaite ? Une formule si simple, si belle, si efficace qu'on pourrait l'imprimer sur un tee-shirt, avec le succès qu'on imagine ? Nous n'en sommes pas là, mais qui sait si les astrophysiciens, forts de leurs prédécesseurs, ne sont pas en quête de ce nouveau Graal de la science que serait une telle " Théorie du tout " ? Avec passion, le journaliste et vulgarisateur scientifique Dan Falk a mis ses pas dans ceux des plus grands savants de l'histoire pour nous aider à comprendre l'univers dans lequel nous vivons. Des philosophes de l'Antiquité à Einstein, en passant par Newton et Maxwell, de la toute récente théorie des cordes au défi que constitue aujourd'hui l'articulation de la relativité générale et de la physique quantique, le rêve de pouvoir un jour rendre compte de tout, et par conséquent de tout connaître, a animé ces boulimiques de la connaissance qui ont consacré leur vie à la philosophie et à la science. Le récit de leur quête est une épopée des plus fascinantes dont l'intrigue reste - heureusement - non résolue : parviendra-t-on un jour à la connaissance ultime de l'univers ou s'agit-il d'une féconde utopie, moteur de progrès ? 2005.

repressive as ever. In fact, authoritarian governments are effectively using the Internet to suppress free speech, hone their surveillance techniques, disseminate cutting-edge propaganda, and pacify their populations with digital entertainment.

didn't know about these gadgets. But think again. "The One Device" is a Magic School Bus trip inside the iPhone--traveling into its guts, peeling back its layers, and launching explorations that take us to the driest place on earth and a Mongolian lake of toxic sludge, down the Silk Road, into 19th century photography, and all the way back to Cupertino, California, where members of the original design team reflect on the earth-shattering work they did. 2017.Caltech physicist and author Sean Carroll offers listeners this profile of the Large Hadron Collider and the search for the…
