Science Cosmology

A travelogue suffused with the wisdom of an ancient religious tradition, Humble Before the Void is a modern-day encounter between Western science and Buddhist philosophy. In this narrative, you'll discover the relationship between ancient Indian philosophical and spiritual tradition and modern science through the experiences of a select group of Tibetan monks.

A wise, very old, strongly clairvoyant lady leads us on a fictional journey through an imaginary land that symbolizes the levels of conscious of the mind of Homo sapiens. Perhaps there are many universes. Perhaps there is an unlimited number of virtual realities.

Seit Jahrzehnten beschäftigt die Frage nach dem intelligenten Leben jenseits unseres Planeten die Menschheit. Nun sind wir der Antwort so nah wie noch nie. Der Journalist Robert Fleischer präsentiert in diesem Buch die Ergebnisse seiner 16-jährigen Recherchen: UFOs sind nicht nur real, sondern stellen weltweit eine Herausforderung für Militärs und Geheimdienste dar. Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass eine nicht-menschliche Intelligenz dahintersteckt, die sich offenbar gezielt für ganz bestimmte Standorte auf der Erde interessiert und ein spezielles Motiv verfolgt.

منذ بزوغ فجرها، ضُربت على البشرية قيود العُزلة والوحدة في كونٍ شاسع ومُظلم وعصي على التخيُّل.. ولأن الإنسان يحمل رغبة متأصِّلة تدفعه دائمًا إلى السعي وراء المجهول، فلطالما حاول رصد واستكشاف الفضاء، وأطلق مراصده نَهِمة تُفتِّش السماء رقعةً رقعةً، أملًا في العثور على أدنى إشارة تَعِد بوجود أيِّ شكل آخر من أشكال الحياة الذكية غيره في الكون

You're invited to discover the wonder and drama of the history of the cosmos. Follow the journey of one proton who comes into existence at the beginning of creation and makes it all the way through history to today. By becoming a part of atoms and molecules that turn up at some of the universe's most important moments, our friend Proton witnesses emerging galaxies, the origin of life, evolution, the first human beings, the birth and life of Jesus, the beginnings of the Christian church, all the way up to the present day. Through it all, the plans of the Creator continue to unfold.

Oggi sappiamo che l’universo ha avuto origine con un big bang e si è espanso sotto il controllo delle componenti oscure di materia ed energia; abbiamo imparato come si formano, evolvono e interagiscono le galassie, e come nascono, vivono e muoiono le stelle; abbiamo cercato i pianeti extrasolari e i segnali della vita, ascoltato l’urlo della fusione di due buchi neri e molto altro ancora. Un sapere frutto del balzo in avanti dell’astrofisica e della cosmologia nel Novecento, stimolato e secondato dai grandiosi progressi della fisica e dalla tecnologia.

Recent polls report that 96-percent of Americans believe in God, and 73-percent believe that angels regularly visit Earth. Why is this? Why, despite the rise of science, technology, and secular education, are people turning to religion in greater numbers than ever before? Why do people believe in God at all?

Os grandes mistérios e maravilhas do céu noturno sempre nos fascinaram, intrigaram e divertiram, desde os primeiros passos na Terra. Hoje, continuamos nos esforçando para entender o nosso lugar no cosmos. O século 20 foi palco de importantes e assombrosas descobertas sobre o nosso próprio planeta, o sistema solar, as estrelas e as galáxias. Contudo, ainda buscamos respostas para inúmeras questões, e essa busca nos proporciona uma valiosa compreensão da vastidão e das infinitas possibilidades do espaço universal que ainda estamos por descobrir.

Letters from the Universe presents a new, simplistic framework for this vast expanse we exist in. By understanding the cosmos and knowing how everything began, we can emulate the ways of the universe and orchestrate a beautiful symphony of life, love, and happiness.

No direct explanation is given for the origin and nature of the luminous bodies, the sun, the planets, and the stars. Because the Sumerians regarded the moon-god, who went by the names Sin and Nanna, as the son of the air-god Enlil, it does not seem unreasonable to suggest that they saw the moon as a bright, air-like body fashioned from the atmosphere. As the sun-god Utu and the Venus goddess Inanna are always referred to as children of the moon-god, these luminous bodies were probably imagined as having come from the moon after the latter had been formed from the atmosphere.

Mind Openers 1.0 is the first of a two-part set. It chronicles how the astounding discoveries of modern physics have fundamentally changed our understanding of reality. Using a mix of historical narrative, intuitive analogies, and graphics, the book explores, explains, and ponders at meaning of our deepest theories. The author is a geophysicist and educator who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

Quant’è grande l’universo? Da che cosa è composto? Com’è nato? Come evolverà? Il libro accompagna il lettore in un percorso che parte da ciò che sappiamo per poi addentrarsi nel territorio sconosciuto dei grandi misteri del cosmo. Un viaggio sorprendente che apre nuovi orizzonti, svelando che dietro l’apparenza luminosa e sfavillante di stelle e galassie si nasconde un universo costituito da componenti di natura ignota.

L'universo racchiude numerosi segreti e potrebbe perfino nascondere dimensioni inimmaginabili: universi paralleli, geometrie curve e inghiottitoi tridimensionali sono alcuni degli straordinari concetti che di recente sono divenuti protagonisti della ricerca scientifica. Oggi, delle leggi del cosmo capiamo molto più di qualche anno fa, eppure abbiamo molte meno certezze sulla sua vera natura. Nel suo percorso di ricerca nel campo della cosmologia e della fisica, Lisa Randall ha dovuto abbattere alcuni paletti della scienza ufficiale.

هذه مجموعة من حوارات، ومحاضرات، وعروض د.نيل دي غراس تايسون، تتعرف من خلالها إلى حقيقة حجم الكون الذي نعيش فيه. ومدى الذهول الذي يتبع معرفة الحقائق عنه

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.

Em outubro de 2017, cientistas de um dos maiores observatórios espaciais do mundo — localizado no topo de um vulcão dormente no Havaí — detectaram um objeto transitando por nosso sistema solar. A primeira hipótese foi a de que se tratava de um mero asteroide, como tantos outros que cruzaram e seguem cruzando nossa galáxia. Mas os dados coletados pelo telescópio Pan-STARRS1 revelaram detalhes curiosos, e bem anômalos, no comportamento desse visitante.

Fra tutte le teorie scientifiche, la relatività è quella che più ci affascina e ci sconcerta. Andando contro la nostra rassicurante percezione del mondo, ci costringe a prendere atto che spazio e tempo non sono due dimensioni fisse e separate, ma si contraggono e si dilatano, sfumando l'una nell'altra, fino a perdere la loro individualità. La realtà è, dunque, molto più strana di quello che appare. Tutto ciò può sembrare misterioso o comprensibile solo agli addetti ai lavori. Ma non è così.

Este audiolibro analiza las probabilidades existentes de vida sin consciencia alguna y el desarrollo de civilizaciones a partir de seres racionales. Para que existan vidas similares a la humana más allá de la Tierra es necesario que estos dos saltos cualitativos que se produjeron en la Tierra tengan lugar también en otro lugar del Universo. Según los conocimientos científicos actuales, lo primero es relativamente probable, no así lo segundo, lo cual no significa que sea imposible.

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868-1953) and Arthur Compton (1892-1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays.
