Engineering Physics

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 10 Mind-Bending Ways Quantum Physics Is Rewriting Reality, you’ll discover how the bizarre rules of the quantum world are transforming not only science, but also philosophy, technology, and our everyday experience of being alive. From particles that can be in two places at once to quantum entanglement that Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance,” this book takes you on a thrilling tour through the strangest terrain in modern science. But it doesn’t stop at the weirdness. It shows how quantum discoveries are already reshaping the very foundations of reality.

"Se avete il desiderio di capire la meccanica quantistica, dovete essere pronti a un viaggio in un mondo sconfinato e bellissimo. Per questo è nata questa mia pratica guida all'autolesionismo di gruppo, per perderci nei meandri più torbidi della meccanica quantistica. Ma, d'altra parte, Bohr disse: 'Se uno non è rimasto scioccato la prima volta che ha sentito parlare di fisica quantistica, allora non ha capito niente'". Gabriella Greison, la "rockstar della fisica", ha scritto la prima guida per approcciare la meccanica quantistica.

This audiobook’s content and entertaining style will appeal equally to science-fiction enthusiasts and scholars, including cognitive and neuroscientists, as well as philosophers of mind. It is a refreshing romp through the science and science fiction of consciousness.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. RICHARD DAWKINS explică felul în care natura și oamenii au învăţat să învingă forţa gravitaţiei și să se înalţe în zbor: de la legendarul Icar la splendida specie Argentavis magnificens, din păcate dispărută, de la fraţii Wright și Boeing 747 la libelula Tinkerbella nana și șoimul-călător. Dar cartea e în același timp despre avântul minţii, despre evadarea din banal, prin știinţă și imaginaţie. Cu ilustraţiile ei superbe și fascinante, reprezintă o colaborare unică între unul dintre cei mai mari oameni de știinţă și o artistă talentată. DESPRE AUTOR.

¿Qué son las matemáticas? ¿Para qué sirven? ¿Por qué es importante conocer su historia? Estas son algunas de las preguntas a las que da respuesta esta obra que nos narra de forma concisa la historia de esta ciencia desde la Prehistoria hasta nuestros días. Pero esta narración no es solamente una superposición de personajes históricos y de sus felices descubrimientos, sino que es una reivindicación de los componentes emocionales, incluso irracionales, que muchas veces han acompañado las actitudes apasionadas de estos célebres personajes, empeñados en buscar soluciones...

Several years ago I became interested in the ideas of real time travel and dimensional travel. I’ve been trained in science and modern physics as well as engineering so I knew that modern theories of our physical world did not include the possibilities that time or dimensional travel existed. As I did my research on stories of people who had travelled through time or additional dimensions there were many very credible stories. These stories eventually led me to conclude that time or dimensional travel through portals or veils does exist and some persons have experienced it.

When Stephen Hawking died, he was widely recognized as the world's best physicist, and even its smartest person. He was neither. In Hawking Hawking, science journalist Charles Seife explores how Stephen Hawking came to be thought of as humanity's greatest genius. Hawking spent his career grappling with deep questions in physics, but his renown didn't rest on his science. He was a master of self-promotion, hosting parties for time travelers, declaring victory over problems he had not solved, and wooing billionaires.

Die Zeit. Wir teilen sie ein und achten auf sie, wir nehmen sie uns und schenken sie anderen. Doch sie rinnt uns auch durch die Finger oder zieht sich wie Kaugummi. Jeden Tag versuchen wir aufs Neue die Zeit zu beherrschen – und bekommen sie trotzdem nie richtig zu fassen. Was ist da also los in der vierten Dimension? Dieses Hörbuch – das erste des Teams vom Audible-Podcast „Sag mal, du als Physiker" – geht dem Wesen der Zeit auf den Grund. Was ist das genau, was da verrinnt? Und können wir die Zeit beschleunigen oder verlangsamen? Vielleicht sogar umdrehen oder uns mehr davon verschaffen?

Are we alone in the universe—or is life a cosmic inevitability? Life in the Cosmic Context goes beyond the conventional search for extraterrestrial biology, asking deeper questions about the very nature of life and our place in an immense, evolving cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, astrobiology becomes more than the science of life beyond Earth; it is a philosophical lens for reimagining what life itself can be. From the origins of life on Earth to the potential for entirely different biochemistries elsewhere, this book challenges listeners to rethink what is possible.

What is matter? Matter is the stuff from which we and all the things in the world are made. Everything around us - from desks, to books, to our own bodies - are made of atoms, which are small enough that a million of them can fit across the breadth of a human hair. Inside every atom is a tiny nucleus and orbiting the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. The nucleus is made out of protons and neutrons, and by zooming in further, you would find that inside each there are even smaller particles: quarks.

The beauty of fractal patterns and their relation to chaos, as well as the history of chaos, and its uses in the real world and implications for the philosophy of science are all discussed in this Very Short Introduction audiobook.

En este audiolibro, Luis Ruiz de Gopegui nos ofrece una gran variedad de contenidos sobre asuntos científicos generales y de actualidad, como por ejemplo la explicación del funcionamiento del bosón de Higgs, del segundo principio de la termodinámica o la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein, todo de un modo cercano y amable para el disfrute del lector que tenga curiosidad e interés por ampliar sus conocimientos científicos.

Vier Forscher und ein unablässiges Hin und Her der Ideen – vor hundert Jahren entstand eine neue Wissenschaft, die die Grenzen der Vorstellungskraft sprengte: die Quantenphysik. Ihre Protagonisten: Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr und Werner Heisenberg. Sie ergründeten das Innere der Atome und rangen mit einer scheinbar einfachen Frage: Was ist Licht? – zu einer Zeit, in der Elektrizität erstmals die Städte erhellte und Kino und Fotografie ihren Siegeszug antraten. Thomas de Padova lässt die fieberhafte Suche nach Antworten anhand der Begegnungen der Forscher lebendig werden.

David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell.

Alexander Moszkowski (1851 - 1934) war Schriftsteller polnischer Herkunft. Seine Zeitschrift Lustige Blätter erreichte in der Weimarer Republik hohe Auflagen. Als Mitglied der "feinen" Berliner Gesellschaft hatt er Zugang zu zahlreichen Berühmtheiten. Albert Einstein war einer dieser Bekannten. Und so kam es, dass ausgerechnet der Herausgeber eines humoristischen Blattes der erste war, der Einsteins Relativitätstheorie auf populärwissenschaftliche Art einem breiten Publikum näherbrachte.

The study of electronic waves has been broken down into artificial subdivisions where most texts cover a small part of the subject mathematically while ignoring the rest. In our scientific community, there has been a need for a coherent one-stop approach that covers the breadth of this material in a manner allowing a total comprehension of the subject. I believe this audiobook finally fills that void by delivering this long-awaited material.

The first problem of man was to find his way about on the earth. Hence the art of measuring the earth (geodesy) became the source of the science of space, which derived its name geometry from the Greek word for earth. From the very outset, however, the measure of time arose from the regular changes of night and day, the phases of the moon, and the seasons. These phenomena forced themselves on mans attention and caused him to direct his gaze toward the stars, which were the source of the science of the universe, cosmology.
