Content

Van de eerste valproeven tot de nieuwste reuzendetectoren die kunnen voelen hoe het heelal rilt: Martijn van Calmthout beschrijft soepel en toegankelijk de roerige geschiedenis van de zwaartekracht. Plaats van handeling: het Panthéon in Parijs, waar de langste slinger van Foucault, nauwelijks zichtbaar voor het oog, in een etmaal een hele cirkel ronddraait.

Van Calmthout dwaalt dat etmaal met een Moleskin vol aantekeningen langs de rand van de cirkel en ontmoet, terwijl de uren een voor een verstrijken, de schimmige Franse fysicus en alleskunner Léon Foucault zelf. Hij vertelt hem over de grote geesten die zwaartekracht overpeinsden en die probeerden te vangen in theorie en formules, eerst van mysterieuze krachten, daarna van ruimte en tijd zelf en tenslotte van niets meer, alleen informatie.
Ook gaat Van Calmthout in gesprek met de grote denkers van toen en nu zelf: Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Karl Schwartzschild, Gerard 't Hooft, Kip Thorne en tenslotte ook de moderne theoretici die helemaal niet meer in de ouderwetse zwaartekracht geloven, onder wie Erik Verlinde.

Echt Zwaar is een soepele en toegankelijke geschiedenis van de theorieën over de zwaartekracht in een originele vorm.
Met een voorwoord van Erik Verlinde, winnaar Spinozapremie en natuurkundige met grensverleggende ideeën over de zwaartekracht (`De zwaartekracht is geen kracht').

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
