Over de Auteur

Born in New York City, Steven Weinberg was a high school and college classmate of Sheldon Glashow; both attended the Bronx High School of Science and Cornell University. Although Weinberg has made contributions as a theoretical physicist in cosmology, quantum scattering, and the quantum theory of toon meer gravitation, he is most widely known for his work with Sheldon Glashow and Abdus Salam, with whom he shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics. Weinberg received a share of this honor for his formulation of the theory that unifies the relationship between the weak force and the electromagnetic force, including the capability to predict the weak neutral current. After receiving a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1957, Weinberg held postdoctoral positions at Columbia University from 1957 to 1959, the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory from 1959 to 1960, the University of California at Berkeley from 1960 to 1966, Harvard University from 1966 to 1967, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1967 to 1969. He is married to a law professor, and they have one daughter. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Good stuff, This book ties a lot of things from different times, different cultures, and different people together to give a coherent chronology of how we got to here.

Nonostante il tema affascinante (a chi non interessa saperne di più sull'origine del nostro universo?), ho trovato tre difetti, nessuno dei quali imputabili all'autore.

Il primo consiste nella difficoltà che ho trovato nel capire alcuni passaggi. Credo che questo abbia più a che fare con le mie pietose conoscenze di fisica che con le capacità di Weinberg di spiegare bene. A questo proposito, ho trovato più chiaro Dove nascono le stelle di Margherita Hack, la quale probabilmente aveva ben presente l'ignoranza scientifica di noi italiani e si è regolata di conseguenza.

Il secondo difetto riscontrato è stata la quantità imbarazzante di refusi. In alcuni casi ho dovuto rileggere la frase perché l'errore inficiava la comprensione del testo. Vergogna.

Infine, bisogna tener conto che questo libro è uscito per la prima volta nel 1977 e da allora è passata diversa acqua sotto i ponti della fisica, dell'astronomia e dell'astrofisica. Va letto e considerato quindi come un classico della letteratura scientifica.

> LES TROIS PREMIÈRES MINUTES DE L’UNIVERS, de Steven Weinberg. — L’origine de l’univers : objet de recherches fascinantes. En 1965 fut découverte l’existence d’un bruit de fond cosmique d’ondes radio, vite interprétées comme la rumeur affaiblie d’une gigantesque explosion initiale. A partir de là, les physiciens ont pu reconstituer les trois premières minutes de cet univers vieux de dix milliards d’années ! Les voici racontées, simplement mais rigoureusement, ainsi que la passionnante histoire de cette découverte. Ed. Le Seuil, 1980.

This entry is for two different books. "The Discovery of Subatomic Particles" was published by Scientific American and has gorgeous illustrations. "The Discovery of Subatomic Particles: Revised Edition" was published by Cambridge University Press in 2003 and has virtually no illustrations.
