Andrei Linde, autor de "Inflación" Cósmica celebra descubrimiento que valida su teoría
Clic en la imagen
En la Universidad de Stanford (California, EEUU) Chao-Lin Kuo sorprende al profesor Andrei Linde con evidencia que soporta su teoría postulada hace más de treinta años acerca de la "inflación" cósmica. El descubrimiento hecho por Kuo y sus colegas en el experimento BICEP2 se constituye de la primera imagen capturada de ondas gravitacionales en el espacio-tiempo, a billones de billones de billones de millones de segundos del Bing Bang. Literalmente, estamos hablando de las primeras vibraciones del universo.

The Universe in a Nutshell Michio Kaku
The Universe in a Nutshell: The Physics of Everything Michio Kaku, Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at CUNY
What if we could find one single equation that explains every force in the universe? Dr. Michio Kaku explores how physicists may shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's "e=mc^2." Thanks to advances in string theory, physics may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. While firing up our imaginations about the future, Kaku also presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why physics is the key to pretty much everything.
