One of the preeminent mathematicians of the past half century shows how physics and math were combined to give us the theory of gravity and the dizzying array of ideas and insights that has come from it Mathematics is far more than just the language of science. It is a critical underpinning of nature. The famed physicist Albert Einstein demonstrated this in 1915 when he showed that gravity-long considered an attractive force between massive objects-was actually a manifestation of the curvature, or geometry, of space and time. But in making this towering intellectual leap, Einstein needed the help of several mathematicians, including Marcel Grossmann, who introduced him to the geometrical framework upon which his theory rests.In The Gravity of Math, Steve Nadis and Shing-Tung Yau consider how math can drive and sometimes even anticipate discoveries in physics. Examining phenomena like black holes, gravitational waves, and the Big Bang, Nadis and Yau ask: Why do mathematical statements, derived solely from logic, provide the best descriptions of our physical world?The Gravity of Math offers an insightful and compelling look into the power of mathematics-whose reach, like that of gravity, can extend to the edge of the universe.

En las páginas de esta obra magistral, Nadis y Yau desvelan el vínculo profundo que une las matemáticas con la gravedad y nos muestran que las estructuras matemáticas no son simples herramientas para describir la naturaleza, sino parte intrínseca de su tejido fundamental. A través de un fascinante recorrido histórico, los autores esclarecen cómo el pensamiento matemático ha transformado nuestra comprensión del cosmos. El caso emblemático de Einstein ilustra esta simbiosis: en 1915, con el apoyo crucial del matemático Marcel Grossmann, Einstein revolucionó la física cuando redefinió la gravedad no como una fuerza de atracción entre masas, sino como una manifestación de la curvatura del espacio-tiempo. Este giro conceptual, que Nadis y Yau explican con elegancia y rigor, marcó el comienzo de una nueva era en nuestra concepción del universo. La potencia de esta visión geométrica de la gravedad abrió horizontes antes insospechados. Fenómenos como los agujeros negros, las ondas gravitacionales o el Big Bang encontraron primero su explicación en el lenguaje abstracto de las ecuaciones, para después confirmarse mediante observaciones experimentales. Esta extraordinaria capacidad predictiva nos lleva a una cuestión fascinante: ¿cómo es posible que estructuras matemáticas concebidas por la mente humana puedan anticipar con tal precisión propiedades del mundo físico aún por descubrir? Sin renunciar al rigor científico pero con un lenguaje accesible, Cuando el espacio se curva nos ofrece un viaje intelectual en el que cada fórmula revela un aspecto oculto de la realidad. En sus páginas, los autores demuestran que la elegancia matemática y la arquitectura cósmica comparten una misteriosa y profunda afinidad que no deja de asombrar incluso a los científicos más experimentados. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Brossura. Zustand: new. Traduzione di Piga C.Milano, 2019; br., pp. 496, ill.(La Cultura). Sembra impossibile che spazi più piccoli di quelli che si possono umanamente immaginare, spazi a sei dimensioni, un milione di milioni di milioni di volte più piccoli di un elettrone, siano in grado di esercitare un'influenza tanto profonda su ogni parte dell'Universo da diventarne un tratto distintivo e caratterizzante. Eppure è così. Per la teoria delle stringhe le dimensioni dell'Universo sono dieci: quattro sono le dimensioni spaziotemporali contemplate dalla teoria della relatività generale, le restanti sei (le cosiddette "dimensioni extra") danno forma alle varietà di Calabi-Yau. Nel 1976 Shing-Tung Yau ha conquistato la Medaglia Fields, il premio Nobel dei matematici, per aver dimostrato l'esistenza di queste forme complesse che portano il suo nome, spazi invisibili la cui geometria può essere la chiave definitiva per comprendere i più importanti fenomeni fisici. "La forma dello spazio profondo" ripercorre le tappe del percorso scientifico che ha portato Yau alla formulazione di una teoria rivoluzionaria, con una nuova possibile immagine dell'Universo. Troppo bello per essere vero: così, spesso, gli scettici hanno liquidato le astrazioni della nuova geometria. L'ipotesi delle dimensioni extra, che riguarda fisica, matematica e geometria, suggerisce non solo che i nuovi spazi possano essere veri, ma che la realtà, ancora una volta, è più affascinante dell'immaginazione.
