À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Discover the mind-bending science behind the seemingly basic things that keep our daily lives running
Most of us are clueless when it comes to the physics that makes our modern world so convenient. What's the simple science behind motion sensors, touch screens and toasters? How do we enter our offices using touch-on passes, find our way to new places using GPS or store our data on the 'cloud'? In The Physics of Everyday Things, James Kakalios turns an ordinary day into something spectacular as he takes us on a fascinating journey into the subatomic marvels that underlie so much of what we use and take for granted.
Breaking down the world of things into a single day, Kakalios engages our curiosity about how our fridges keep food cool, how a plane manages to remain airborne, and how our wrist fitness monitors keep track of our steps. Each explanation is coupled with a story revealing the interplay of the astonishing invisible forces that surround us.
Through this 'narrative physics' The Physics of Everyday Things demonstrates that - far from the abstractions conjured by terms like the Higgs boson, black holes and gravity waves - sophisticated science is, above all, very practical. With his signature clarity and inventiveness, Kakalios ignites our imaginations and enthralls us with the physics that governs our lives.
