That’s not because space physics is difficult or obscure – most of the details were understood by the end of the 18th century – but because it can often be bafflingly counter-intuitive for a general audience. The purpose of this book isn’t to criticize or debunk popular sci-fi depictions, which can be very entertaining, but to focus on how space physics really works. This is done with the aid of numerous practical illustrations taken from the works of serious science fiction authors – from Jules Verne and Arthur C. Clarke to Larry Niven and Andy Weir – who have taken positive pleasure in getting their scientific facts right.Science and Fiction,2197-1196AstrophysicsPhysicsSolar systemGravitationAstrophysicsClassical and Continuum PhysicsSpace PhysicsNewtonian PhysicsAstrophysics.Physics.Solar system.Gravitation.Astrophysics.Classical and Continuum Physics.Space Physics.Newtonian Physics.523.01May Andrew(Andrew James)823854MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741181303321How Space Physics Really Works3554179UNINA
