Sinopse

"Birth of Wi-Fi" chronicles the remarkable journey of wireless networking from its humble beginnings as ALOHAnet in 1971 to the ubiquitous technology that now connects billions of devices worldwide. This comprehensive exploration delves into the scientific foundations, engineering breakthroughs, and collaborative efforts that transformed wireless connectivity from a military-focused technology into an essential part of modern life.

 
The book skillfully weaves together the technical evolution of Wi-Fi through three major milestones: the establishment of the original IEEE 802.11 standard, the implementation of crucial WPA security protocols, and the development of increasingly powerful Wi-Fi generations. Drawing from patent documents, technical specifications, and firsthand accounts from pioneering engineers, it reveals how the formation of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the push for standardization were crucial in creating the universal wireless networking solution we rely on today.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to technical content and social impact analysis. While thoroughly explaining the engineering principles behind wireless networks, it remains accessible to general readers interested in technology's evolution. The narrative expertly connects Wi-Fi's development to broader themes in business innovation and social transformation, examining how this technology has revolutionized education, commerce, and human communication while addressing ongoing concerns about security and privacy in our increasingly connected world.

    On February 1, the Columbia was due to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 09:16. Only a few members of the press were present to watch the landing - this was, after all, supposed to be a routine return from a routine mission, the 113th for the shuttle program and the 28th for Columbia, one of the oldest Space Shuttles. 
    Reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere is always the most dangerous part of any space mission. The intense heat generated as a spacecraft enters the thin upper atmosphere at immense speed can be potentially lethal, but the shuttle was designed to deal with this heat, and Columbia had successfully done it 27 times in the past. For the five men and two women on board and the members of the press present, everything seemed normal, but there was a measure of concern among those in the ground control team. The team was aware that Columbia had possibly suffered damage to the thermal tiles forming the heat shield on one wing soon after liftoff, but no one knew how extensive the damage was or even if it existed at all. There was also some disagreement about how serious it might be - some on the ground were concerned this might compromise the shuttle wing’s ability to resist the heat of reentry, while others were sure it was a minor issue that would have no serious impact on the mission. Videos of the launch had been exhaustively reviewed by engineers on the ground, but it was impossible to be certain of the precise level of damage to the heat shielding on the underside and leading edge of the wing.  
    There was no agreement on what should or could be done, so one thing was universally agreed upon: the crew would not be informed of the problem. There was nothing they could do to make repairs and no way to avoid reentry.

    Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. Though it cannot be directly observed through traditional means such as light, it is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy content. This strange substance does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to our telescopes and detectors. Its existence is inferred primarily through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. Without dark matter, the movement of galaxies would not make sense based on the gravitational pull of visible matter alone. 
    The concept of dark matter was first proposed in the early 20th century. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that the galaxies within the Coma galaxy cluster were moving faster than expected based on the visible matter alone. He suggested that there must be some unseen mass, which he called “dark matter,” providing the additional gravitational pull needed to keep the galaxies from flying apart. Since then, astronomers have found similar evidence in other galaxy clusters, and the hypothesis of dark matter has become a cornerstone of modern cosmology. 
    Despite the compelling evidence for dark matter, its exact nature remains unknown. Various theories have been proposed, with the most widely accepted one suggesting that dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs. These hypothetical particles would interact through gravity and possibly the weak nuclear force, but not through electromagnetic forces, which would explain why they do not emit light. However, despite decades of searching, no direct detection of WIMPs has been made. This has led to the consideration of alternative explanations, such as axions, sterile neutrinos, and other exotic particles.
