Bestselling author Colm O’Regan is a worrier. A professional one. Caution is his watchword. Risk aversion is his love language. Now Colm is grappling with the biggest worry of all: the whole ‘planet being on fire’ thing and how exactly we can help. Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit. So if you’ve fretted about: - using your diesel car to get closer to nature, - eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, - existing and have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you. In Climate Worrier, O'Regan offers a humorous and relatable take on the struggles of trying to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. His essays on the topic are both enlightening and entertaining, making this book a top pick for environmentalists and conservationists alike. For fans of Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Britney Spears (The woman in me). HarperCollins 2022Ver libro

Quantum mechanics arose in the early 20th century to explain phenomena that classical physics could not. Observations at the atomic scale revealed that matter and energy exhibit discrete and probabilistic behaviors, leading to the development of a new theoretical framework. The necessity for quantum mechanics became evident through several key experiments and discoveries. One of the earliest quantum breakthroughs came from Max Planck’s study of blackbody radiation. Classical physics predicted an infinite energy output at short wavelengths, known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Planck resolved this by proposing that energy is emitted in discrete packets called quanta, introducing the idea that energy levels are not continuous. This marked the birth of quantum theory. Albert Einstein extended this concept with his explanation of the photoelectric effect, where light ejects electrons from a metal surface. Classical wave theory could not explain why light below a certain frequency fails to release electrons, regardless of intensity. Einstein proposed that light consists of photons, with energy proportional to their frequency. This established the particle-like nature of light and won him the Nobel Prize in 1921. Louis de Broglie later proposed wave-particle duality, suggesting that particles like electrons also behave as waves. His hypothesis was experimentally confirmed by the Davisson-Germer experiment, which demonstrated electron diffraction. This showed that matter exhibits both wave and particle properties, depending on how it is measured.Ver libro
