On June 21, 2016, Pacific Gas & Electric Company announced a plan to shutter California’s last nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, in 2025. The plan was hailed by environmental groups and politicians around the country. Then, suddenly, the state’s Democratic establishment reversed the decision, and in 2024 the Biden-Harris administration awarded the plant $1.1 billion in credits to extend its life. What happened in between? In Atomic Dreams, journalist and lifelong environmentalist Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow unearths the surprising answers—and the deep-seated conflicts behind them.

What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter? When Democritus stated that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him. Not until Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth century did people take the idea seriously, and it was another four hundred years before we could reconstruct the elementary components of matter.

Earth stands at a tipping point. As we fail to curtail emissions fast enough, our planet stares down a cascade of imminent, catastrophic, and irreversible disaster triggered by climate change.

Tiden er en gåde. For at løse den tager fysiker Troels Harmark os med på en rejse tilbage til antikkens græske filosoffer, videre op gennem naturvidenskabens historie til bl.a. Newton og Einstein og helt ud til forskningsfronten i moderne fysik og de største spørgsmål som, hvordan universet blev til. Tiden oprandt ved universets fødsel, og vi lever stadig i tiden her 13,8 milliarder år senere. Vi har en krop, der ældes, og kan ikke forestille os vores liv uden tid – vi indordner os under den, og tænker, at den bevæger sig regelmæssigt, som visernes præcise vandring over døgnets timer på uret.
