Drawing intriguing parallels between the present era of quantum physics and past episodes of scientific confusion, Beyond the Quantum tells the story of how pilot-wave theory was discovered and abandoned, revived and reconstructed, and how today it can pave the way to a new and radical physics beyond the quantum.

Can reindeer fly? Could scientists clone the perfect Christmas tree? Why is Rudolph's nose red? How does Santa manage to deliver presents to an estimated 842 million households in a single night? These are among the questions explored in this irresistibly witty audiobook, which illuminates the cherished rituals, legends, and icons of Christmas from a unique and fascinating perspective: science. "Just what the elves ordered," raves Newsweek.

The first insider account of the work at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the discovery of the Higgs particle - and what it all means for our understanding of the laws of nature. The discovery of the Higgs boson made headlines around the world. Two scientists, Peter Higgs and François Englert, whose theories predicted its existence, shared a Nobel Prize. The discovery was the culmination of the largest experiment ever run, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.

The question of how falling cats land on their feet has intrigued humans since at least the middle of the 19th century. In this playful and eye-opening history, physicist, and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided crucial insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics, neuroscience, and human space exploration....

In this unscripted recording, renowned astrophysicist Dr. Richard Berendzen takes you on a journey through space and time that is captivating from the moment he begins to speak. Enjoy the best of both worlds: an expert's knowledge in a user-friendly format!

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.

In an era defined by rapid change and interconnectivity, Neodynamics emerges as a groundbreaking framework for understanding and designing systems that thrive in complexity. Drawing on principles from systems theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and beyond, this book unites technical rigor with visionary insight to present a science of potential, agency, and flourishing.

Quantum computing represents a transformative technology with unparalleled potential to revolutionize industries, solve complex global challenges, and advance scientific discovery. Its ability to process vast amounts of data and optimize intricate systems can drive breakthroughs in areas such as healthcare, climate modeling, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.

By weaving together scientific discovery, ancient wisdom, and personal reflection, Quantum God challenges listeners to rethink their understanding of existence and offers practical guidance for living in alignment with this profound truth. In this book, you’ll find thought-provoking discussions on quantum healing, synchronicity, and the role of the Quantum God in worship and prayer.

Are you captivated by the mysteries of the universe and the minds that unravel them? Eager to understand how a single equation transformed our understanding of everything from atoms to galaxies? Wondering how the thoughts of one visionary could redefine the boundaries of space, time, and reality itself? Dive into the extraordinary life and legacy of Albert Einstein in A Brief History of Albert Einstein - Space, Time, and Quantum Theory: E=mc² and the Foundations of Modern Physics.

Black holes are a constant source of fascination to many due to their mysterious nature. This Very Short Introduction audiobook addresses a variety of questions, including what a black hole actually is, how they are characterized and discovered, and what would happen if you came too close to one.

La física cuántica trata de todo. Sí, así como suena. Si te han dicho que solo va de vibraciones cósmicas que resuenan en el universo, no te han contado más que tonterías. Para transmitirnos la auténtica magia de una extraña teoría que describe el comportamiento de los átomos y la luz, y que hasta un niño de diez años o un adulto después de unas cuantas copas puedan entenderlo, Lukas Neumeier y James Douglas han decidido escribir la historia de Bob, un hippie espiritual, y Alice, una ingeniosa nerd que se pasa el día soñando con la física cuántica.

Picture an early scene from The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy hurries home as a tornado gathers in what was once a clear Kansas sky. Hurriedly, she seeks shelter in the storm cellar under the house, but, finding it locked, takes cover in her bedroom. We all know how that works out for her.Many investors these days are a bit like Dorothy, putting their faith in something as solid and trustworthy as a house (or, say, real estate). But market disruptions - storms - seem to arrive without warning, leaving us little time to react.

ظل آينشتاين خلال الثلاثين سنة الأخيرة من حياته يبحث من دون كلل على ما يطلق عليه نظرية المجال الموحد - نظرية قادرة على وصف قوى الطبيعة في إطار شامل مترابط. لم يكن آينشتاين مدفوعاً باعتقاد حماسي في أن الفهم العميق للكون قد يكشف عن أكثر عجائبه مصداقية: بساطة ومقدرة المبادئ التي تأسس عليها. أراد آينشتاين أن يلقي الضوء على أحداث الكون بوضوح لم يصل إليها أحد من قبل، ما يجعلنا نقف خاشعين أمام أناقة وروعة الكون. لم يتوصل آينشتاين أبداً لتحقيق هذا الحلم، لأن في أيامه كان هناك كثير من

Financial economist George G. Szpiro here tells the fascinating stories of the pioneers of mathematical finance who conducted the search for the elusive options pricing formula. From the broker's assistant who published the first mathematical explanation of financial markets to Albert Einstein and other scientists, Pricing the Future retraces the historical and intellectual developments that ultimately led to the widespread use of mathematical models to drive investment strategies on Wall Street.

Un homme qui a profondément changé notre vision du monde S'il est quelqu'un que l'on peut qualifier de génie, c'est certainement Einstein. Il a façonné la physique du XXème siècle. Non seulement ses découvertes ont permis l'avènement de notre univers technologique (électronique, laser, énergie nucléaire, etc.), mais surtout, il a profondément modifié notre conception du monde. Il y a un avant Einstein et un après Einstein qui se prolonge aujourd'hui puisque ses théories n'ont pas, pour l'essentiel, été démenties. Inventeur des deux grandes théories du XXe : relativité et théorie quantique.
