Softcover. Condition: Good. New edition. The Grand Design, by eminent scientist Stephen Hawking, is the latest blockbusting contribution to the so-called New Atheist debate, and claims that the laws of physics themselves brought the universe into being, rather than God. In this swift and forthright reply, John Lennox, Oxford mathematician and author of God's Undertaker, exposes the flaws in Hawking's logic.In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments--with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories--and demonstrates that, far from disproving a Creator God, they make His existence seem all the more probable."A brilliant response to Stephen Hawking's The Grand Design. Make sure you hear both sides of the argument."-Alister McGrath, author of The Dawkins Delusion.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Hawking have had a major impact on the loud and popular debate between 'aggressive atheists' and religion. The huge sales of their bestselling books show just how much interest people have in their ideas. Now 'the rock star of the new spirituality', Deepak Chopra, is entering this debate, sparring with leading physicist, Professor Leonard Mlodinow (the co-author, with Stephen Hawking, of The Grand Design). In War of the Worldviews, Chopra argues that there is design in our universe and a deep intelligence behind life. Without defending organised religion, he debunks randomness as an explanation for how Nature evolves and shows how consciousness comes first and matter second. On the other side, Mlodinow argues the viewpoint of science, specifically what modern quantum physics can tell us about our world. In his view, physics, genetics and cosmology will shed far more light on the big questions than rethinking ancient spiritual concepts can ever do. A major work of our time, War of the Worldviews will not only offer more food for thought for those fascinated by the two sides of this modern conundrum - it will also place Deepak Chopra firmly in the ring of some of the most remarkable, and bestselling, thinkers of our era. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "It is a grandiose claim to have banished God. With such a lot at stake we surely need to ask Hawking to produce evidence to establish his claim. Do his arguments really stand up to close scrutiny? I think we have a right to know." The Grand Design and Brief Answers to Big Questions by eminent scientist the late Stephen Hawking were blockbusting contributions to the science religion debate. They claimed it was the laws of physics themselves which brought the universe into being, rather than any God. In this forthright response, John Lennox, Oxford University mathematician and internationally-known apologist, takes a closer look at Hawking's logic and questions his conclusions. In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments - with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories - and demonstrates that far from disproving a Creator God, they make his existence seem all the more probable. A new and revised edition of Professor John C. Lennox's stirring reply to Hawking's claims that God is not needed to explain the Universe.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An intimate, powerful account of Stephen Hawking and his universeAn icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius- not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their friendship, offering an intimate account of this giant of science.The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles - as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finished Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe.

Softcover. Condition: new. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A whirlwind tour of fundamental physics and cosmology.-The Wall Street JournalFascinating . . . a wealth of ideas [that] leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity.-Los Angeles TimesWhen and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent grand design of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion-or does science offer another explanation? In The Grand Design, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most illuminating scientific thinking about these and other abiding mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by brilliance and simplicity.According to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history. The authors explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the early universe and show how quantum theory predicts the multiverse-the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a theory of everything: the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, which, if confirmed, would represent the ultimate triumph of human reason.A succinct, startling, and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, The Grand Design is a book that will inform-and provoke-like no other.

Your preference in politicians, the amount you tip your waiter~all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious and a sea change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live. Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Sehr gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 43 (5) Seiten. 18,7 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. - Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS (* 8. Januar 1942 in Oxford, England; 14. März 2018 in Cambridge, England) war ein britischer theoretischer Physiker und Astrophysiker. Von 1979 bis 2009 war er Inhaber des renommierten Lucasischen Lehrstuhls für Mathematik an der Universität Cambridge. Stephen Hawking lieferte bedeutende Arbeiten zur Kosmologie, zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie und zu Schwarzen Löchern. 1963 wurde bei Hawking Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (ALS) diagnostiziert, eine degenerative Erkrankung des motorischen Nervensystems. Mediziner prophezeiten ihm, nur noch wenige Jahre zu leben. Allerdings handelte es sich vermutlich um eine chronisch juvenile ALS (JALS), die durch einen extrem langen Krankheitsverlauf gekennzeichnet war. Seit 1968 war er auf einen Rollstuhl angewiesen. Im Rahmen der Grunderkrankung (konsekutive progressive Bulbärparalyse) und der Behandlung einer schweren Lungenentzündung verlor er 1985 die Fähigkeit zu sprechen. Für die verbale Kommunikation nutzte er seitdem einen Sprachcomputer. Durch seine populärwissenschaftlichen Bücher über moderne Physik und umfangreiche mediale Berichterstattung wurde er auch einem breiten Publikum außerhalb der Fachwelt bekannt. . Populärwissenschaftliche Schriften und Rezeption: 1981 nahm Hawking an einer Kosmologietagung im Vatikan teil, auf der er sein Konzept vorstellte, laut dem das Universum keine Grenzen haben solle. In diesem Vortrag stellte er das All zugleich als ein Phänomen dar, das einfach vorhanden ist und dementsprechend keines Schöpfergottes bedarf. Wenn das Universum einen Anfang hatte, können wir von der Annahme ausgehen, dass es durch einen Schöpfer geschaffen worden sei. Doch wenn das Universum wirklich völlig in sich selbst abgeschlossen ist, wenn es wirklich keine Grenze und keinen Rand hat, dann hätte es auch weder einen Anfang noch ein Ende; es würde einfach sein. Wo wäre dann noch Raum für einen Schöpfer?" 1988 erschien mit Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit das erste populärwissenschaftliche Buch Hawkings, in dem er die Theorien zur Entstehung des Universums, zur Quantenmechanik und zu Schwarzen Löchern darstellt. Das Buch wurde weltweit ein Bestseller und verkaufte sich in Millionenauflage. Als wissenschaftlicher Autor schrieb Hawking zudem weitere erfolgreiche populärwissenschaftliche Werke. Im April 2010 äußerte sich Stephen Hawking über mögliche Risiken, die die Suche nach außerirdischem Leben für die Menschheit haben könnte. Hawking sah jedoch die Notwendigkeit, den Weltraum zu besiedeln. Im September 2010 sagte Hawking, dass für die Entstehung des Universums kein Gott notwendig gewesen war. Es sei unnötig, zur Erklärung die Hand Gottes ins Spiel zu bringen. Die Times zitierte aus seinem neuen Buch The Grand Design (dt. Der große Entwurf Eine neue Erklärung des Universums): Weil es ein Gesetz wie das der Schwerkraft gibt, kann und wird sich ein Universum selber aus dem Nichts erschaffen. [ ] Spontane Schöpfung ist der Grund, warum es statt des Nichts doch etwas gibt, warum das Universum existiert, warum wir existieren." 2016 äußerte Hawking bei einer Vortragsreihe für die BBC, dass die Menschheit vor großen Gefahren stehe, die langfristig ihre Existenz stark gefährdeten. So hätten gentechnisch veränderte Viren, Atomkriege, künstliche Intelligenz und die globale Erwärmung das Potenzial, die Menschheit in absehbarer Zeit auszulöschen. Über lange Zeiträume von tausenden Jahren betrachtet sei dies sogar fast sicher. Die größte Gefahr für die Menschheit sei die Menschheit selbst. In diesem Zusammenhang erneuerte er seine Forderung, weitere Himmelskörper im Sonnensystem zu besiedeln, um das Aussterben der Menschen zu verhindern. Diese Kolonien könnten aber frühestens in einem Jahrhundert unabhängig von der Erde existieren, deshalb sollte die Menschheit in diesem Zeitraum besonders vorsichtig sein. . .

A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. ; 6.27 X 0.81 X 9.29 inches; 198 pages; "In The Grand Design, they explain that according to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history, but rather that every possible history of the universe exists simultaneously. When applied to the universe as a whole, this idea calls into question the very notion of cause and effect. But the "top-down" approach to cosmology that Hawking and Mlodinow describe would say that the fact that the past takes no definite form means that we create history by observing it, rather than that history creates us. The authors further explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the "multiverse" the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature.".
