Own the room with this hilarious collection of fact-tastic myth-busters and jaw-dropping trivia exploring science, history, sport and lesser-known facts from across the universe. Did you know that the Moon has a Bishop? That ostriches DON'T bury their heads in the sand? And that powdered rice was used as cement in the Great Wall of China? What do souls weigh? What can't 60% of the human population smell? And what on earth is rhinotillexomania? And the big one . . . are farts actually invisible? The answers to these questions are all here.

Modern physics studies the four “known forces” of nature: gravity, electromagnetic, weak, snd Strong nuclear forces. However, “known forces” is a misnomer because hundreds of years of investigation have not led to any clearer understanding. In short, scientists do not know what these forces are. In this audiobook we will cover, with the luxury of detail, the history and current investigative nature of particle physics and the so-called forces.

Rope Hypothesis and Thread Theory is based on Bill Gaede's Rope Hypothesis. We apply the rope model to questions such as, what is gravity, light, electricity, and magnetism? What is thermodynamics? What is the difference between light and sound? What is plasma? How do batteries, antennas, and cathode ray tubes work? What is the difference between fundamental and composite objects? Does size scale make a difference when it comes to motion, friction, bending, stretching, and tension?

Rational Science Vol. III is 60 chapters from Volumes I and II.

The surprising truth about how the things our ears hear affect what's between them. Every day, we are surrounded by millions of sounds - ambient ones like the rumble of the train and the hum of air conditioner, as well as more attention-grabbing sounds, such as human speech, music, and sirens. But how do we process what we hear every day? And how does it affect our brains and our minds?

Thirty-eight chapters of Rational Science covering everything from the nature of scientific inquiry, experimenter's regress, and why the dinosaurs were so big, to relativity, the Higgs boson, and the Rope Hypothesis.

Forty-four science articles using the Rational Scientific Method of Inquiry. These subjects are covered in the book Curious Chain of Events, and this is the first in a series of Rational Science books.

Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution.

Science fiction often takes its inspiration from the latest science . . . and our oldest questions. After all, the two are inextricably linked. At a time when advances in artificial intelligence are genuinely leading us closer to a computer that thinks like a human, we can’t help but wonder: What makes a person a person? Countless writers and filmmakers have created futuristic scenarios to explore this issue and others like it. But these scenarios may not be so futuristic after all.

In this highly original book, Russell Blackford discusses the intersection of science fiction and humanity’s moral imagination. With the rise of science and technology in the 19th century, and our continually improving understanding of the cosmos, writers and thinkers soon began to imagine futures greatly different from the present. Science fiction was born out of the realization that future techno-scientific advances could dramatically change the world.

Meteorologist and Peabody Award-winning journalist Bonnie Schneider looks at how climate change is already threatening our mental and physical health and offers helpful tips to tackle these challenges.

Monk E. Mind uses the rational scientific method to expose mainstream "scientific" nonsense, and present an underlying physical mechanism for all of reality.

Rajeev Sundaram and his son, Dev, have escaped from Next Level Technologies, the robotics firm taken over by Gregory Maltek, the founder of competing bio-engineering firm Fresh Meat. By taking out his competition, Maltek is free to pursue world domination by building an army of superhumans and forcing every human being on Earth to purchase and occupy one of his replacement bodies - bodies over which he has complete control. Having already infiltrated the US military, Maltek appears unstoppable. But he won't take over without resistance.

What gives the human brain the creative ability that defines us all as individuals? Although the silicon version is hard on its heels, the brain remains the most remarkable computer in existence. Leading us through cognitive theory, neuroscience and Darwinian evolution with his trademark wit and wisdom, Michael Corballis explains what we know - and don't know - about our minds. How do we know if we’re really the top dogs in brain power?

As China comes into its own as a world economic power, a new, huge consumer class is emerging, hungry for all things Western. In this land where 25 years ago most of the population had never tasted chocolate, five icons of Western business are now slugging it out in a battle royal to see which will become the Emperor of Chocolate in China.

Whether you're aware of it or not, you've been born into a system of degeneration that harms the planet and every person and creature alive. In order for transformation to occur, says author Jordan Rubin, "You must make a decision to take steps today to become part of the solution". Planet Heal Thyself will teach you how to start a "revolution of regeneration" in the areas of health and nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and food production as well as economic prosperity and abundance.

Los antiguos alquimistas intentaron encontrar el sentido del Universo buscando descubrir la conexion entre la mente y la materia. Algunos cientificos contemporaneos, en particular en el campo de la fisica cuantica, siguen elmismo camino. En esta reciente contribucion al estudio de la conciencia, el fisico Fred Alan Wolf revela lo que el denomina la "nueva alquimia", una simbiosis de las ideas de los antiguos alquimistas y de los nuevos cientificos.
