"A distinguished physicist and teacher, George Gamow also possessed a special gift for making the intricacies of science accessible to a wide audience. In "Gravity," he takes an enlightening look at three of the towering figures of science who unlocked many of the mysteries behind the laws of physics: Galileo, the first to take a close look at the process of free and restricted fall; Newton, originator of the concept of gravity as a univ ..."

"Broschiertes BuchSince his first appearance over sixty years ago, Mr Tompkins has become known and loved by many thousands of readers as the bank clerk whose fantastic dreams and adventures lead him into a world inside the atom. George Gamow's classic provides a delightful explanation of the central concepts in modern physics, from atomic structure to relativity, and quantum theory to fusion and fission. Roger Penrose's foreword introdu ..."
"George Gamow's first Tompkins book, Mr Tompkins in Wonderland, created a 'toy universe' where, as his son comments in the preface to this 2010 reprint, 'the maximum speed of light is assumed to be 10 miles per hour, while all the laws of general relativity still hold'. Since the death of the author in 1968, the Mr Tompkins series has gone through a number of reincarnations. The latest reincarnation, The Adventures of Mr Tompkins (www.th ..."
""This book is Gamow at his best, which means the very best in science for the layman." — Library JournalWidely recognized as one of the 20th century's foremost physicists, George Gamow was also an unusually capable popularizer of science. His talents are vividly revealed in this exciting and penetrating explanation of how the central laws of physical science evolved — from Pythagoras' discovery of frequency ratios in the 6th century B.C ..."
"First published in 1945, in the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Atomic Energy in Cosmic and Human Life offers a unique account of the problem of atomic energy and the underlying principles of radioactive decay. Written by the pre-eminent physicist George Gamow, and dedicated to the hope of lasting peace, the book was originally designed to give a complete picture of what atomic energy is, where it comes from, and how ..."
"The names of Buffon, Kant, and Laplace characterize the scientific era when the
first attempts were made to understand the origin of the world exclusively as the
result of natural causes. The theories of that time, which were limited essentially
to the origin of our solar system, later underwent a process of multiple evolution;
culminating in a reasonably complete and consistent theory of planetary
formation recently developed by C ..."
"electrons with negative mass “donkey electrons.” Strange things would happen in
this world of negative mass. In order to make an object move forward, we have to
pull it back, and in order to have it stop we should push it forward. Consider two
electrons at rest located close to each other. Due to their electric charges, there
are repulsive forces between them. If both electrons are “ordinary” ones, these
forces will give them accel ..."
