Engineering Physics

Teorien om ingenting handler om alt det, der ikke er noget - i hvert tilfælde ikke noget, vi rigtigt forstår. Universet er stort, og i forhold til pladsen er der forsvindende lidt i det store vakuum. Det synlige stof, vi kender og selv er lavet af, er små bølger i kvantefelter og fylder kun omkring fem procent af universets hele, mens det mørke stof og den mørke energi fylder resten. Oven i købet tyder alle observationer på, at universet udvider sig, så det synlige materiale kommer til at fylde mindre og mindre i forhold til ‘ingenting’, som der på sin vis bliver mere og mere af.

From the creation of life to the exploration of the heavens and the stars—from the origins of the earth to the possibility of life on other planets, Ben Bova unveils the beauty and science behind the phenomenon of light. Bova masterfully explains how light affects us every day of our lives—from our religions to our sex drives. He examines how we use light in art, science, industry, entertainment, cosmetics, jewelry, and myriad other ways. Using accessible language, Bova provides easy-to-understand examples that explain even the most difficult and mind-bending concepts.

Warum ist die Erde blau? Wie kann man Fußballergebnisse berechnen? Warum können Hummeln fliegen? Warum ist Eis glatt? Und warum hat die Erde zwei Flutberge? Diplom-Physiker, Wissenschaftsastronaut und SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Prof. Dr. Ulrich Walter erklärt in diesem Hörbuch fast alles - gewohnt verständlich und unterhaltsam.

О физике несерьёзно и доступно. Аудиокнига, где легко объясняется необъяснимое понятным языком, что заставляет влюбиться в физику. Знаете ли вы, что такое время? А как придумали теорию струн? Какой химический элемент - самый большой в мире? А вот Дмитрий Побединский, физик, популярный видеоблогер и постоянный автор "Чердака", знает - и может рассказать! Существуют ли параллельные вселенные? Можно ли создать настоящий световой меч? Что почувствует искусственный интеллект при первом поцелуе? Как устроена черная дыра?

Das Wissen über das, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält, ist nicht nur das Ergebnis herausragender Forschung brillanter Geister, sondern auch eine Konsequenz wahnwitziger Zufälle und absurder Ideen. Genau dieser höchst unterhaltsamen und verrückten Seite der Wissenschaft und ihrer Geschichten widmet sich der junge Science-Star und Wissenschaftsjournalist Niklas Kolorz. Er begleitet Pythagoras, Marie Curie und Albert Einstein, während sie quasi zufällig ihre bahnbrechenden Entdeckungen machen.

Allgemeinwissen: Mit spannenden, unterhaltsamen und breit gefächerten Fakten Wissen erweitern und in jedem Gespräch glänzen. Wozu Wissen, wenn ich doch jederzeit googeln kann? Dieser Gedanke ist verlockend, aber: Nur wer Dinge selbst weiß, kann sich ein kluges, zusammenhängendes Bild von der Welt machen – und ganz nebenbei in jedem Party-Talk punkten.

The universe should be fun, and you’re about to discover an audiobook that understands that, weaving humor and wit into every minute so that you not only understand what you’re listening to, but enjoy the whole process.

Physics for Rock Stars is not a weighty treatise on science, but a personal tour of physics from a quirky friend. Anyone who's ever wondered why nature abhors a vacuum, what causes magnetic attraction, or how to jump off a moving train or do a perfect stage dive will find answers and a few laughs, too. No equations, numbers, or tricky concepts - just an inspiring and comical romp through the basics of physics and the beauty of the organized universe.

In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all of this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built.

La historia aquí contada es, por supuesto, nuestra propia historia, una que empieza hace 13,800 millones de años con un fugaz destello y termina con un espejo—la conciencia humana—en el cual el universo se observa a sí mismo y se descubre como un misterio espectacular. Gerardo Herrera Corral, cuyo objetivo es recrear la materia que surgió instantes después del Big Bang, nos propone un viaje en reversa, un camino de causas y efectos que se detiene en momentos importantes del desarrollo cósmico, y avanza hacia el pasado, buscando el germen de cada estación en la siguiente.

Ernest Rutherford, who grew up in colonial New Zealand and came to Cambridge on a scholarship, made numerous revolutionary discoveries, among them the orbital structure of the atom and the concept of the “half-life” of radioactive materials, which led to a massive re-evaluation of the age of the Earth―previously judged just 100 million years old. Above all, perhaps, Rutherford and the young men working under him were the first to split the atom, unlocking tremendous forces―forces, as Rutherford himself predicted, that would bring us the atomic bomb.

A menudo conocemos las teorías que los grandes físicos de la historia han desarrollado, pero ignoramos aspectos biográficos que les han influido, como sus pensamientos teístas o ateos. A veces sus creencias han tenido un efecto en su ciencia y en otras ha sido la ciencia la cual ha influido en sus creencias. ¿Qué ideas religiosas tenían Aristóteles, Copérnico, Galileo, Einstein o Dirac? ¿Cómo influyó el contexto? Eduardo Battaner nos lo cuenta en este audiolibro desde una perspectiva objetiva e histórica.

The author, Chris McMullen, PhD, has over 20 years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his passion for word problems. This book includes 200 word problems with answers.

Aprenderemos para qué sirve un acelerador de partículas, qué es la partícula de Dios, cómo las cosas pueden estar en dos sitios a la vez...y trataremos de comprender los misterios de la existencia.

Il vetro attraverso cui passa la luce che ci sveglia al mattino, la fetta di pane tostato con cui facciamo colazione, i jeans che indossiamo per uscire di casa, le ruote della bici che sostengono il nostro peso mentre torniamo dal lavoro, il palazzo tra le cui mura ci addormentiamo la sera: ogni singolo oggetto del nostro quotidiano funziona e opera grazie alle leggi della fisica, della chimica e della biologia, in modi che di solito ignoriamo completamente.

In Apollo's Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives.

Was ist Physik und was ist Pseudowissenschaft? - Holm Hümmler erläutert die wichtigsten Konzepte und zeigt auf, wo Wissenschaft nur falsch verstanden und wo sie in Scheinargumenten missbraucht wird. Das Hörbuch wird von Alexa Waschkau, Journalistin und Mitgründerin des Podcasts "Hoaxilla" gesprochen. Können esoterische und alternativmedizinische Konzepte mit der Relativitätstheorie und Quantenphysik begründet werden? Wer sich auf Einstein, Heisenberg oder Schrödinger beruft, beansprucht wissenschaftliche Seriosität und schreckt unangenehme Fragen ab.

Algorithm Universe Model answers the questions that are not answered by the standard model. It is a specific math model, not just a theory. Among the answers it gives are the common features of all forces and their relationship to dimension, an explanation of the big bang, wave particle duality as an effect of particle pre-time change, black holes, gravity and dark energy, the correct definition of time and why it must be distinguished from change, among many others. This is an audiobook of Algorithm Universe Model, Audio Summary.

As a follow-up to the seminal work, The Overview Effect, Frank White explores life's destiny in the universe and a compelling new hypothesis.

This lively and informative exploration of the heart offers a perfect mix of medical fact and amusing anecdote. A prospective cardiologist and former paramedic - as well as one of Germany's most successful science-slammers - von Borstel relates his own experiences to provide a personal insight into the human side of heart medicine while clearly explaining the science behind cardiac disease and healthcare for the heart.
