Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

Product Information

For all its scope, "Zero" remains accessible to a general audience. Seife excels at finding resonating entry points into complex math and philosophy. The pacing moves briskly, touching on topics like infinity, vacuum physics and logarithms without getting bogged down. Seife has a true passion for his subject that keeps the narrative energetic from start to finish. Apakah angka nol justru merupakan bentuk eksistensi 'Tuhan' sehingga sebegitu dahsyatnya? (Saat membaca buku ini, saya nyaris percaya jika nol adalah Tuhan itu sendiri!) a b c d e f g h i j k John Hunt Publishing – Reviewed, The Independent Publishing Magazine, February 26, 2014.

This book is a timely reminder that, if we act urgently, we can stop making climate change worse, and possibly reduce it, not only avoiding catastrophe but improving the quality of life globally. Belakangan Hawking berusaha memadukan teori relativitas dengan teori kuantum untuk menjelaskan penciptaan jagat raya. Sebelum-sebelumnya, ini ajaibnya, kedua teori super canggih tersebut sama sekali tidak mengalami kecocokan. Seperti teori Wien dan Rayliegh di atas yang tidak ada kecocokannya, kedua teori ini juga sama. Saat alam semesta (yang dapat dipelajari dg relativitas) diciptakan, kan wujud aslinya masih berupa bentuk penyusun atom (yang dipelajari dengan kuantum). seharusnya ada titik temunya kan? Tahun-tahun terakhir hidup Einstein dihabiskan untuk menggeluti titik temu ini yang dia sebut sebagai teori medan gravitasi, sayang sampai meninggal, usaha belum berhasil. 'warisan' Einstein inilah yang menjadi cikal pergolakan intelektual dalam fisika hingga saat ini. It took visionaries like the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta to fully incorporate zero into the decimal system we use today. As zero found acceptance, it enabled the development of calculus, expanded our scientific knowledge, and led to advancements like computer programming. Yet still it remained controversial. Seife points out many leading thinkers, from Pascal to Heidegger, rejected zero as mystical, contradictory or sinister.Roberto Saviano nos entrega de nuevo un claro ejemplar de un ONNI (objeto narrativo no identificado). Es curioso que los periodistas lo consideren un escritor mientras que los escritores lo consideran un periodista. Frente a nosotros tenemos un tomo que a momentos es claramente periodismo de investigación para luego dar un giro súbito a las pesadillas del autor que actualmente vive escoltado tras las amenazas de la mafia pasando antes por una extraña oda a la cocaína y sus usuarios. La frase "sono tutti uguali" favorisce il furbo a discapito dell'onesto e solo una conoscenza almeno di base consentirebbe di fare le opportune distinzioni. We are delighted to announce the publication of Professor Paul Ekins’ book ‘ Stopping Climate Change: Policies for Real Zero’ (Routledge, publication date November 23, 2023).

The choice of logo seemed quite curious at first since most people wouldn’t be familiar with this branding. 'Infinix' itself isn't a particularly well-known name in the notebook space, let alone their sub-brand 'Zero'. When asked about it, Infinix argued that they wanted to showcase what is essentially their halo brand but eventually conceded that it would make more sense to have the Infinix name there instead. Una via di mezzo tra inchiesta e documentario, Zero zero zero è un libro che a me ha molto ricordato Gomorra per come è costruito e strutturato. L'argomento è sicuramente interessante e meriterebbe maggiore attenzione, anche se mi permetto di fare alcune critiche. Political choices, in short, are causing avoidable deaths here, now, in every NHS hospital in the country. Hunt knows this yet chooses not to voice it. Presumably he still has one eye on Downing Street. And that’s the thing about candour. You can’t credibly advocate total transparency while dipping in and out of being candid when it suits you. A true patient safety champion would lead by example, speaking out about all kinds of patient harm, including those inflicted by their party in government. Gaming is tough but not impossible. The Xe Graphics could run older games like CS:GO, Valorant, and GTA V as well as any 2D games with 100+ FPS. However, most newer AAA 3D games are out of the question.

The ZeroBook 13 has very good performance, courtesy of the 13900H on our review unit. The CPU never leaves you wanting for more performance in everyday tasks, so everything from web browsing, working with documents, watching media, and switching between multiple applications is fast and effortless. E' affare di questi giorni, ad esempio, l'elezione del Presidente della Repubblica e il dire che i politici sono tutti uguali è la cosa più sbagliata del mondo. Memang, untuk penggunaan luas, sistem bilangan Romawi menjadi ribet dan terlalu panjang. Karena, pada hakikatnya, bilangan Romawi nyaris tidak mengenal nilai tempat. Akibatnya, saat menuliskan angka dengan nilai bilangan besar, sangat sulit untuk menuliskan bilangan tersebut dengan angka Romawi. contohnya, bilangan 1888 jika ditulis dalam bilangan Romawi menjadi MDCCCLXXXVIII. Biar lebih dramatis lagi, coba tulis bilangan 14.792.483.388 dalam bilangan Romawi. Berapa baris yang dibutuhkan? :) The ZeroBook 13 series comes equipped with Intel's latest 13th generation of CPUs, including the Core i5-13500H, Core i7-13700H, and the Core i9-13900H.

Belakangan teori kuantum berkembang lebih jauh lagi hingga 'membongkar' habis-habisan struktur atom. Hingga hari ini, milyaran dollar telah terkuras hanya demi 'mengupas' isi atom hingga bagian paling-paling-paling-paling-paling dasar. Bidang kajian Fisika Elementer dewasa ini sudah pada taraf 'tak dapat diungkapkan dengan kata-kata'. namun sekali lagi, mereka terbentur satu hal. Atom tidak dapat dipecah lagi sehingga menjadi nol... Untuk menjadikannya nol, perlu energi tak terbayangkan, perlu biaya lebih mahal dan usaha lebih ekstrem. sekali lagi NOL sang biang kerok! XD Düzü kitabın non-fikşn olduğunu bilmirdim... Ya da ilk 20 səhfəni oxuyanadək roman zənn edirdim... Məgər deyilmiş... Kitabın adı kokainin keyfiyyətini göstərir... 3 zero, yəni saf kokain... Ma non tutti sono stati d'accordo con la decisione presa e mettere tutti sullo stesso livello non ha senso ed è controproducente se le cose non ci stanno bene.My only critique is that the first part of the book is very easy to understand, but during the second half when Seife discusses modern mathematics and science, the narrative becomes more difficult to follow if the reader isn't a calculus major or a physicist (neither of which I am...). Still, there are nice illustrations that make Seife's points clearer. In that respect, Zero acts as a history of the development of an idea, one that began in Babylonia and spread, via Alexander the Great, to India, where it flourished. Seife's history is necessarily balanced between East and West in this case, as it's impossible to discuss mathematics without discussing India. That being said, I would have liked to learn about how China regarded zero, even if Chinese mathematicians contributed no new developments to the number's importance as their absence from this book seems to imply. This one oversight overlooked, Zero is not your typical history book that starts in ancient Egypt or Greece and insists everything we know flows from there. Akhirnya, dengan mempertimbangkan hal tersebut, bangsa Eropa menerima penggunaan bilangan nol. Namun, seandainya mereka dapat meramal masa depan dan melihat efek angka nol bagi peradaban modern, niscaya mereka akan mati-matian mempertahankan sistem bilangan Romawi dan menolak kehadiran angka nol. Il tono è decisamente più giornalistico che narrativo, ma lo stesso Saviano si è un po' trasformato negli anni affrontando argomenti scottanti, prima (molto prima) esclusivo appannaggio di un giornalismo d'inchiesta che sembra ormai lontano.
