Ｑ．「時間」とは何か？人類史上最大の謎を解き明かす！「時間って何？」「時間はなぜ存在するの？」そう誰かから聞かれたと仮定しましょう。果たしてあなたは正しく答えられるでしょうか？

誰にでも同じように流れて、逆回しにできないもの――普段思い描く時間の姿は、実はごく限られた一面。

ニュートン力学から相対性理論、量子力学まで……「宇宙を支配する力」に迫る知的探求の旅！本書では、カルフォルニア大学バークレー校教授で理論物理学者の野村泰紀さんが、「ニュートン力学」や「相対性理論」といった古典物理学から、「量子力学」などの現代物理学に至るまでを概観しつつ、「重力はなぜ存在するのか？」

物質を作る最小単位の粒子である素粒子。誕生直後の宇宙は、素粒子が原子にならない状態でバラバラに飛び交う、高温高圧の火の玉だった。だから、素粒子の種類や素粒子に働く力の法則が分かれば宇宙の成り

光速c、重力定数G、電子の電荷の大きさe、プランク定数h。これらの基礎物理定数は日常から宇宙までを支配する法則が数値となったものだ。我々はふだん物理定数など意識せずに暮らしているが、この値が違えば太陽はブラック・ホールと化し、人類は地球にいられず火星に住むハメになり、宇宙の姿は激変する。

Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space.

In these Messenger Lectures, originally delivered at Cornell University and recorded for television by the BBC, Richard Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features into one broad principle of invariance. He maintains at the outset that the importance of a physical law is not "how clever we are to have foundit out but…how clever nature is to pay attention to it" and steers his discussions toward a final exposition of the elegance and simplicity of all scientific laws.

In this exhilarating and sometimes mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies tells the gripping story of how, beginning with an iconic mathematical equation in the 1920s, a radical new theory of nature – quantum mechanics – burst upon the modern world, and how today we are on the cusp of the second great quantum technology revolution. Quantum 2.0 reveals how exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in the everyday world are being harnessed to enable forms of teleportation and ‘spooky’ telepathic links between remote places.

In Waves and Stones, Graham Harman shows that this paradoxical interaction – the question of whether reality is made up of sudden jumps, or is laid out along a gentle gradient with no clear divisions between the various things in the world – permeates every area of human life. What’s more, this paradox is as old as human thought itself.

What if everything we know about time is wrong? What if time doesn’t move in one direction? What if it’s not even the same everywhere in the universe? Quantum Time invites you to explore one of the biggest mysteries of all—what time really is. In our daily lives, time feels simple. It moves forward. Clocks tick. We grow older. But in the strange world of quantum physics, time doesn’t always follow these rules. It can stretch, bend, stop, or even reverse. Some scientists believe time isn’t a fixed thing at all. It may just be something that appears when tiny particles interact in special ways.

This podcast discusses the history of scientific thought and tells stories about the greatest scientific discoveries and the scientists who made them. There may also be an inordinate amount of Xennial-related references thrown in along the way. Episodes will be released every two weeks on Fridays! Thanks for listening.

Join our hosts Tom & Lily as they dive into the legendary Messenger Lectures delivered by renowned physicist Richard Feynman at Cornell University in 1964. Over the course of seven episodes, we explore each lecture in detail, unraveling the profound insights Feynman shared on the nature of physical law. Whether you’re a physics enthusiast or simply curious about the workings of the universe, this podcast will guide you through Feynman’s brilliant and accessible explanations of complex ideas.

Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s.
