Nun kann mir als alten Trekkie nun wirklich keiner was bei Wurmlöchern vormachen (und da ist es wieder, das Nerd-Herz ... ) , aber die Sache mit der Quantenmechanik und Schrödingers Katzehat mein Hirn dann doch richtig rauchen lassen. Und so richtig zufriedenstellend hat mir Christpher Edge das auch nicht erklärt … Schade. Denn das ist ja DAS zentrale Thema. Despite the author's easy explanations, or maybe even because they were so easy, the method Albie finds is incredibly hard to believe. And the weird applications to theory were as unrealistic. However, it didn't get in the way of my enjoying it, because the how is definitely not the point. He could have just stumbled into a magical portal. His journey and the conclusions both Albie and me as the reader reach by the end were really the thing. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment. His attempt to resolve his feelings of grief and loss puts Albie in strange, mind-blowing situations, and simultaneously incredible, hysterically funny adventures. Christopher Edge’s ability to string so many synchronised mishaps into one lucid paragraph is amazing. Antrą kartą romanas skaitytas su dvylikamečiu – nustebino, kad Šriodinegrio katino ir paralelinių visatų teorija jam nebuvo naujiena. Apie fiziką nedaug ką išmokome, tačiau buvo proga pakalbėti apie gedulo etapus.

Stephen Albie Bright leads a happy, normal life. Well, as normal as it gets with two astrophysicist parents who named their son after their favorite scientists, Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. But then Albie’s mother dies of cancer, and his world is shattered. When his father explains that she might be alive in a parallel universe, Albie knows he has to find her. So, armed with a box, a laptop, and a banana, Albie sets out to do just that. Stilul de scriere al lui Christopher Edge este cursiv, captivant, reușind să transmită emoții și să creeze imagini vii în mintea cititorilor. Albert Stephen Bright – ist benannt nach den Lieblingswissenschaftlern seiner Mutter: Albert Einstein und Stephen Hawking, aber er wird von allen nur Albie genannt. Er hat plötzlich die Eingebung, dass er nur mittels eines von ihm erschaffenen Mini-Wurmloch in eine parallele Realität reisen muss, in der seine Mutter noch am Leben ist. Leider warten in allen Universen, die er besucht nur traurige Wahrheiten… I liked the theme because I know there are a lot of sci-fi books but not many of them include actual science and things that scientists are investigating such as parallel universes where all possibilities are happening so in one you are killing nigel garage and in the other Germany may have won world war two, so we could be speaking German.

LoveReading4Kids Says

In this book quantum mechanics plays a big part. It is all explained very well because it is explained by a 10-year-old. All the physics is spot on in this book, which I really really really love. So, if you’ve enjoyed the idea of A Thousand Pieces of You, you will definitely enjoy this book as well, even though it is aimed at children (10-13 year-olds). Der sprachliche Stil bleibt bei aller Dramatik und Komik seltsam nüchtern, das schafft zum einen eine Distanz zum Protagonisten und zum andern kann der Humor die traurigen Momente schlecht vertreiben. Review based on an ARC provided by Netgalley. Thank you to the publisher for giving me this opportunity. Surely, because grief and moving forward is the theme, this is the kind of book to be enjoyed by anyone, kids or grown-ups or anyone in between.

Bei Albie Bright – ein Universum ist nicht genug habe ich den Klappentext hinterher erst gelesen, da ich vom Inhalt des Buches doch sehr überrascht war. Das hätte ich nicht bei dem Cover und der Werbung erwartet. It’s a short novel for children which has an ambitious amount of science threaded into the plot. At the beginning of the story young Albie has just lost his physicist mum to cancer. By way of consolation Albie’s physicist father – a somewhat distant figure because of his globe-trotting as a TV scientist – tells his son about the theory of parallel universes and suggests that in one of these his mum might still be alive and well. With an improbable mix of his mum’s laptop, a cardboard box and a radioactive banana, Albie sets off on a trip through the multiverse, acquiring a smattering of science and a some valuable life-lessons along the way. Albie’s parents are scientists and usually have all the answers. But after Albie’s mother dies the answers seem to dry up. When Albie’s dad mentions quantum physics and that numerous versions of ourselves can exist in parallel universes, Albie sets out to find the universe where his mum is still alive. Behold the Quantum Banana Theory - a cardboard box, a banana (that is ever so slightly radioactive), mum’s old laptop and a Geiger counter. Oh, and let me not forgot a test subject - Dylan, the next door neighbours psychopathic cat. Albie embarks on journeys to several parallel universes and along the way he meets bad Albie and female Albie (Alba) along with different versions of the the most popular girl in school, Victoria Barnes. A poignant, funny, and heartwarming adventure, this extraordinary novel is for anyone who has ever been curious.

Keep in touch

Unul dintre cele mai remarcabile aspecte ale cărții este maniera în care autorul integrează informații științifice și concepte complexe într-o poveste accesibilă și deosebit de interesantă. Prin intermediul călătoriei lui Albie, cititorii sunt introduși în lumea fascinantă a fizicii cuantice şi astronomiei, descoperind teorii precum relativitatea lui Einstein și paradoxurile legate de călătoriile în timp.
