Produktbeschreibung
Meet George Gamow: The genius who couldn't sit still. A brilliant theorist with the soul of a mischievous artist, Gamow defied specialization and disciplinary boundaries. After defecting from the Soviet Union, he used his unique blend of intuition and humor to fundamentally alter our understanding of reality. He invented quantum tunneling, calculated how stars shine, and wrote the seminal paper that established the Big Bang. When he needed a new challenge, he simply plunged into biology to tackle the DNA code. More than just a scientist, Gamow was a master communicator whose fantastical Mr. Tompkins books made relativity and quantum mechanics accessible to millions. This is the definitive portrait of the intellectual adventurer who proved that playfulness and profound discovery are two sides of the same universe. Approx.178 pages, 33700 word count
