Sobre IBD

The main focus of this book is on the interconnection of two unorthodox scientific ideas, the varying-gravity hypothesis and the expanding-earth hypothesis. As such, it provides a fascinating insight into a nearly forgotten chapter in both the history of cosmology and the history of the earth sciences.The hypothesis that the force of gravity decreases over cosmic time was first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1937. In this book the author examines in detail the historical development of Dirac’s hypothesis and its consequences for the structure and history of the earth, the most important of which was that the earth must have been smaller in the past.

    Jose Ruiz Watzeck
    A Astronomia é considerada a mais antiga das ciências, sendo fundamental para o desenvolvimento do conhecimento humano ao longo da história. Evidências arqueológicas indicam que civilizações pré-históricas já realizavam observações sistemáticas do céu, utilizando os astros como referência para a orientação espacial e a marcação do tempo. Desde a Antiguidade, o firmamento tem si...

    O motivo inicial deste livro era desenvolver um curso de criação de jogos que começasse contando a sua história. Durante a pesquisa: a história dos jogos se entrelaçou com a história da evolução da vida; tornando impossível não fazer algo diferente e um pouco “mais completo”, só não esperava por algo tão complexo. O curso recebeu um “power up” e passou a ter como objetivo a div...

  • Niels Bohr
    Helge Kragh
    Niels Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913 is one of the absolute highlights in the history of modern science. It was only with this work that physicists realized that quantum theory is an essential ingredient in atomic physics, and it was also only with this work that Rutherford’s nuclear model dating from 1911 was transformed into a proper theory of atomic structure. In a longer pers...

But it is a most interesting story which deserves to be known also to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science and indeed to the general public. This is what the present work aims at. It tells the s...

  • Quantum Generations
    Helge Kragh
    At the end of the nineteenth century, some physicists believed that the basic principles underlying their subject were already known, and that physics in the future would only consist of filling in the details. They could hardly have been more wrong. The past century has seen the rise of quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and solid-state physics, among ...

  • Cosmology and Controversy
    Helge Kragh
    For over three millennia, most people could understand the universe only in terms of myth, religion, and philosophy. Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would finally lend empirical support to many long-held beliefs about the origins and development of the entire universe: the theory of the ...
