京东影业影视传媒 & the Public has teamed up with New York鈥揵ased publisher Diversion Books to release topic-based collections of Science News stories in a digital format. Dimensions of Time: Science鈥檚 Quest to Understand Time in the Body, Brain and Cosmos and Einstein鈥檚 Gravity: One Big Idea Forever Changed How We Understand the Universe are now available wherever e-books are sold. Each e-book includes archival articles pulled from nearly a century鈥檚 worth of Science News reporting.
鈥淭ime and gravity 鈥� and the human attempt to understand them 鈥� have persistently been among the most fascinating topics in science for the last century. Our new e-books explore the key concepts and players in this ongoing search for knowledge,鈥� said Eva Emerson, Editor in Chief of聽Science News.
Dimensions of Time covers all aspects of a concept that is familiar to all of us but hard to explain scientifically鈥夆�斺�塼ime. Included are stories about the most precise clocks, the body鈥檚 circadian rhythms and how our brains track time. Among the enduring questions explored in the book: Is time fundamental? Why does time flow just one way? And are there time travelers among us?
The release of Einstein鈥檚 Gravity follows the announcement of the breakthrough detection of gravitational waves by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational鈥揥ave Observatory. This e-book includes the full history of that search, and also covers the early reactions to general relativity and the tests that have confirmed the theory again and again. An impressive attempt to explain the theory using only one-syllable words dates to the 1920s.
