Science Cosmology

The Well-Planned Universe provides evidence-based insights into the nature of our world, ourselves, and the universe beyond. The book explains how recent developments in computer science along with evidence from physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biology reveal that there is more to the universe and ourselves than most people realize.

This audiobook begins with the question "Who am I?" and immediately sets off in an astonishingly original direction. Why didn't anyone before Harding think of responding to this question like this? It's so obvious, once you see it. Harding presents a new vision of our place in the universe that uses the scientific method of looking to see what is true. It turns out that the truth about ourselves is not only true but also very good, and breathtakingly beautiful. We live in a sacred, many-layered, living universe - or rather it lives in us.

A leading astronomer and gifted teacher takes readers on a wondrous tour of how science confronts the big questions—about the universe’s origins, destiny, and fundamental nature—and how it contends with the limits of our knowledge Humans have learned a lot about the world around us and the...

Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe: A Journey Through Sacred Geometry is a fascinating exploration of the ancient practice of sacred geometry and its relevance to modern science. Written by M.A. Hill, this audiobook offers a unique perspective on the universe, showing how geometry is the key to unlocking its mysteries.

The Big Bang is all but dead, and we do not yet know what will replace it. Our universe's "beginning" is at an end. What does this have to do with us here on Earth? Our lives are about to be dramatically shaken again - as altered as they were with the invention of the clock, the steam engine, the railroad, the radio and the Internet.

Von einer Klimakatastrophe zur nächsten schlingernd entwickelte sich unsere Erde. Am Ende war da der Mensch, entstanden aus Sternenstaub – alles nur Zufall? Oder war hier ein Schöpfergott beteiligt? Heino Falcke und Jörg Römer gehen Herkunft und Zukunft unserer Welt auf den Grund: Sie sprechen mit Persönlichkeiten aus Quantenphysik, Evolutionsbiologie, Klimaforschung, Philosophie und Theologie und entwerfen eine anschauliche und lebendige Geschichte unseres blauen Planeten und der Entwicklung des Menschen.

The latest developments in physics have the potential to radically revise our understanding of the world: its makeup, its evolution, and the fundamental forces that drive its operation. Knocking on Heaven's Door is an exhilarating and accessible overview of these developments and an impassioned argument for the significance of science. There could be no better guide than Lisa Randall.

With wonder, wit, and flair - and in record time and space - geophysicist David Bercovici explains how everything came to be everywhere, from the creation of stars and galaxies to the formation of Earth's atmosphere and oceans to the origin of life and human civilization. Bercovici marries humor and legitimate scientific intrigue, rocketing listeners across nearly 14 billion years and making connections between the essential theories that give us our current understanding of topics as varied as particle physics, plate tectonics, and photosynthesis.

Zetetic Astronomy is the magnum opus of Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1884), a self-taught polymath, debater, faith healer, and early advocate of Utopian socialism. Drawing from a wide variety of contemporary sources, Christian scripture, and his own investigative and experimental skills, Rowbotham advocated tirelessly for his thesis that the true shape of the Earth was a plane, refuting all suggestions of rotundity. His arguments continue to captivate, persuade, and entertain up to the present day.

Nikola Tesla (1856 -1943) was a Serbian American inventor, engineer, and physicist. In his work Talking with Planets, the prodigious inventor describes receiving radio waves from nonterrestrial sources.

From the best-selling author of Einstein’s Dreams comes a rich, fascinating answer to the question, Can the scientifically inclined still hold space for spirituality? Gazing at the stars, falling in love, or listening to music, we sometimes feel a transcendent connection with a cosmic unity...

A hilarious guide to what's real (and what's not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.

A New York Times–bestselling astrophysicist and a Nobel laureate describe the quest to discover how and where the universe breathed life into matter For a long time, scientists have wondered how life has emerged from inanimate chemistry, and whether Earth is the only place where it exists...

More than 50 years ago, John Coltrane drew the 12 musical notes in a circle and connected them with straight lines, forming a five-pointed star. Inspired by Einstein, Coltrane had put physics and geometry at the core of his music. Physicist and jazz musician Stephon Alexander returns the favor, using jazz to answer physics' most vexing questions about the past and future of the universe.

In this bundle, astrophysicist Andrew May take a deep dive into space exploration and our continued and evolving fascination with the cosmos. Astrobiology: May gives an expert overview of our current state of knowledge, looking at how life started on Earth, the tell-tale signatures it produces, and how such signatures might be detected elsewhere in the Solar System. Destination Mars: May traces the history of our fascination with the Red Planet. The Space Business: May provides an in-depth look at the triumphs and heroic failures of quixotic quests to commercialize the final frontier.

L'Univers a-t-il une forme ? En s'intéressant au contenu visible de l'univers, aux planètes, aux étoiles et aux galaxies, on oublie parfois le contenant invisible, l'espace lui même. Celui-ci est-il un simple réceptacle passif ? A-t-il une forme, une structure ? Est-il fini ou infini ? Est-il courbe, plat, lisse ou grumeleux ?Une présentation des différents modèles cosmologiques. Jean-Pierre Luminet présente les grandes lignes des démarches cosmologiques actuelles et des formes possibles de l'univers.

The birth of a world-changing idea in the middle of a bloodbath Einstein’s War is a riveting exploration of both the beauty of scientific creativity and enduring horrors of human nature. These two great forces battle in a story that culminates with a victory now a century old, the mind...

Scientists are using simulations to recreate the universe, revealing the hidden nature of reality. Cosmology is a tricky science—no one can make their own stars, planets, or galaxies to test its theories. But over the last few decades a new kind of physics has emerged to fill the gap between...
