Book Synopsis Do Dice Play God? by : Ian Stewart
Download or read book Do Dice Play God? written by Ian Stewart. This book was released on 2019-06-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncertainty is everywhere. It lurks in every consideration of the future - the weather, the economy, the sex of an unborn child - even quantities we think that we know such as populations or the transit of the planets contain the possibility of error. It's no wonder that, throughout that history, we have attempted to produce rigidly defined areas of uncertainty - we prefer the surprise party to the surprise asteroid. We began our quest to make certain an uncertain world by reading omens in livers, tea leaves, and the stars. However, over the centuries, driven by curiosity, competition, and a desire be better gamblers, pioneering mathematicians and scientists began to reduce wild uncertainties to tame distributions of probability and statistical inferences. But, even as unknown unknowns became known unknowns, our pessimism made us believe that some problems were unsolvable and our intuition misled us. Worse, as we realized how omnipresent and varied uncertainty is, we encountered chaos, quantum mechanics, and the limitations of our predictive power. Bestselling author Professor Ian Stewart explores the history and mathematics of uncertainty. Touching on gambling, probability, statistics, financial and weather forecasts, censuses, medical studies, chaos, quantum physics, and climate, he makes one thing clear: a reasonable probability is the only certainty.

Book excerpt: With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions.

Book Synopsis Men Who Play God: The Story of the Hydrogen Bomb by : Norman Moss
Download or read book Men Who Play God: The Story of the Hydrogen Bomb written by Norman Moss. This book was released on 2018-12-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A detailed and brilliant account... full of illumination... fascinating.' New Yorker. Men Who Play God is a captivating history of the political decisions, global events and scientific experiments that led to the invention of the most powerful bomb in history. A renowned British journalist and broadcaster, Norman Moss' acclaimed book provides a detailed summary of the inception and production of the bomb itself. A thought-provoking narrative on a highly complex issue, it also examines the problems that arose, such as the potentially lethal effects of nuclear fallout. Moss also brings to life the opposing views between scientists and politicians alike as the idea of a "Super" bomb capable of mass destruction rapidly began to transform into a reality. Governments sought to endorse or denounce thermonuclear weapons programmes in their countries - after crucial events such as President Harry S. Truman's public declaration of support for the American Atomic Agency Commission and its work on the hydrogen bomb in 1950. This led to issues that ranged from serious ethical questions to political decisions that would resonate across the world. Offering vivid portraits of the eminent men whose decisions and expertise were crucial to the process, Moss pays particular attention to the theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, and his colleague Edward Teller, who became known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb." Men Who Play God provides a thorough, gripping overview of a series of the most significant nuclear events in history that brought lasting global consequences.
