Ergebnis für "Stephen Hawking" in Biografien & Erinnerungen

Diese Erzählung, der tödlichen Erkrankung abgetrotzt, ist ein kleines Wunder. Hawking erzählt von seiner Kindheit und Jugend in Oxford und St. Albans, vom Ausbruch der degenerativen Erkrankung des motorischen Nervensystems (ALS), über das Leben mit der Krankheit und der ständigen Todesgefahr. Über Weltreisen, Leidenschaften und schräge Wetten unter Kosmologen. Zum ersten Mal schildert er, warum seine beiden Ehen nicht hielten und wie ihm seine Ehefrauen buchstäblich das Leben retteten.

Stephen Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe's greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet - including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence - he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.

Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. In order to solve this mystery, Hawking studied the big bang origin of the universe, but his early work ran into a crisis when the math predicted many big bangs producing a multiverse—countless different universes, most of which would be far too bizarre to ​harbor life.

The story of the bullet-shaped SpaceShipOne and the other teams in the hunt is an extraordinary tale of making the impossible possible. It is driven by outsized characters - Burt Rutan, Richard Branson, John Carmack, Paul Allen - and obsessive pursuits. In the end, as Diamandis dreamed, the result wasn't just a victory for one team; it was the foundation for a new industry and a new age.

Stephen Hawking has dazzled listeners worldwide with a string of best sellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution. My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. This concise, witty, and candid account introduces listeners to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books.

An icon of the last 50 years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a place in our popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and colleague, offering an intimate account of this giant of science.

Do aclamado autor do best-seller O andar do bêbado, um retrato íntimo e inspirador de Stephen Hawking — o homem, o amigo e o físico. Recordando quase duas décadas como colaborador e amigo de Stephen Hawking, o físico e autor best-seller Leonard Mlodinow retrata aqui, de uma forma singular e profundamente pessoal, um ser humano fora de qualquer expectativa.

Leonard Mlodinow recuerda sus casi dos décadas como colaborador y amigo de Hawking, uno de los físicos más influyentes de nuestro tiempo, y nos ofrece una mirada única y profundamente personal de un hombre extraordinario. Conocemos al genio que descubre los misterios del universo y una teoría pionera sobre los agujeros negros; conocemos al colega, cuya enfermedad le permite comunicarse con solo seis palabras por minuto, pero que se esfuerza por puntuar sus conversaciones con un gran sentido del humor.

In 2021, the Science Museum made a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition of the contents of Stephen Hawking's office. This audiobook delves into that remarkable collection, using the seminal papers, items and curiosities in his office to explain his theories and reveal more about one of the greatest minds in modern science. It's an unprecedented glimpse into the life of the best-known scientist of modern times.

Het laatste boek van professor Stephen Hawking. Hoe is alles begonnen? Is er intelligent leven elders in het heelal? Kunnen we de toekomst voorspellen? Bestaat er een God? Wat zit er in een zwart gat? Zijn tijdreizen mogelijk? Zullen we overleven op aarde? Moeten we de ruimte koloniseren? Zal kunstmatige intelligentie slimmer worden dan wij? Hoe geven wij de toekomst vorm? De wereldberoemde wetenschapper en bestsellerauteur Stephen Hawking laat ons zijn laatste ideeën over de grootste vragen van het universum na in dit briljante postuum uitgegeven werk.

In 1963, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and given two years to live. More than half a century later, Hawking had made some of the most significant contributions to our understanding of the universe since Albert Einstein. The world’s most famous physics professor, a best-selling author, and a father of three, Stephen lived his life to its fullest. Bridging the world of theoretical physics with the reach of pop culture, Stephen Hawking became an emblem of human determination and intellectual curiosity.

One of the most influential physicists of our time, Stephen Hawking touched the lives of millions. Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking’s collaborator and friends, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in a unique and deeply personal portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius, who pours his mind into uncovering the mysteries of the universe - ultimately formulating a pathbreaking theory of black holes that reignites the discipline of cosmology and paves the way for physicists to investigate the origins of the universe in completely new ways.

Stephen Hawking is one of the most remarkable figures of our time, a Cambridge genius who has earned international celebrity as a brilliant theoretical physicist and become an inspiration and revelation to those who have witnessed his courageous triumph over disability. This is Hawking's life story by Kitty Ferguson, who has had special help from Hawking himself and his close associates and who has a gift for translating the language of theoretical physics for non-scientists.

Este audiolivro convida você a explorar a abordagem única de Hawking sobre as grandes questões científicas da atualidade, e aponta as diferentes ideias e experiências que lhe ajudaram a formar tanto sua personalidade íntima, como sua figura pública, decodificando tudo para demonstrar como você também pode aplicar os métodos dele para melhorar todas as áreas de sua vida. 

Minha breve história conta a improvável trajetória de Hawking, desde a infância na Londres do pós-guerra até o reconhecimento científico internacional. Com fotos pessoais, raramente publicadas, este relato conciso e divertido―o primeiro escrito inteiramente pelo autor, sem a ajuda de terceiros, desde Uma breve história do tempo―apresenta o leitor a um Hawking quase nunca vislumbrado nos livros anteriores: o estudante curioso que foi apelidado de Einstein.

Questo ritratto ripercorre i momenti più importanti della vita dell'astrofisico inglese Stephen Hawking, mettendone in luce gli aspetti più bizzarri e singolari. Dalla famiglia d'origine, stravagante e un po'bislacca fino ai primi studi, dalle amicizie al college all'incontro con la moglie Jane, dai "momenti Eureka" di scoperta scientifica fino alle incursioni nella cultura pop. Tutti elementi, singolari e unici, che come una meravigliosa, caotica e intricata galassia hanno dato la vita al carattere, al genio e all'icona Stephen Hawking.

In this fascinating and illuminating work, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the critical eras and events in the development of science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics, chemistry, biology, and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see that much of our progress can be attributed to simple questions - why? how? - bravely asked.

Dr. Stephen William Hawking, British mathematician, theoretical physicist, and cosmologist, is the face of twenty-first century physics, and yet cannot speak directly to his audience. He is no longer able to move his limbs due to the incapacitating effects of ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The affliction is better known in the United States as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," named after the great American baseball player. Since 2009, in fact, Hawking can no longer operate his wheelchair.

The first popular introduction to Hawking's work, this program discusses the mysterious world of black holes, singularities, and the "big bang"--the point at which our universe may have begun.
