The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
45
 
 
The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate TheoryIn a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

The Way Things Work - Sound (VIDEO)

The Way Things Work - Sound (VIDEO)In Sound, the inhabitants of Mammoth Island learn how sound energy travels in waves. While herding their mammoths toward fresh pasture through a maze of canyons, someone sneezes and the sound reverberates, startling the timid mammoths and causing them to run away! A visiting inventor explains that sounds are caused by the movement of molecules -- what scientists refer to as vibrations. Thinking about how our ears translate vibrations into sound leads a bright young Islander, Olive, to create a primitive microphone.

Good Vibrations: The Physics of MusicGood Vibrations: The Physics of Music

Good Vibrations explains in clear, friendly language the out-of-sight physics responsible not only for these differences but also for the whole range of noises we call music.
The physical properties and history of sound are fascinating to study. Barry Parker's tour of the physics of music details the science of how instruments, the acoustics of rooms, electronics, and humans create and alter the varied sounds we hear. Using physics as a base, Parker discusses the history of music, how sounds are made and perceived, and the various effects of acting on sounds.
