Science Cosmology

Wir wissen, dass das Universum vor vielen Milliarden Jahren in einem gewaltigen Feuerball entstand - dem Urknall. Aber wie wird die Geschichte unseres Universums enden? Wird es in unvorstellbarer Hitze verglühen - oder in eisiger Starre vergehen? Wird es zu einem Klumpen unendlicher Dichte kollabieren, und wird das Ende wirklich das Ende sein - oder entsteht das Universum danach von Neuem? Die renommierte Astrophysikerin Katie Mack nimmt uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise zu den Grenzen von Raum und Zeit und zeigt auf unterhaltsame Weise, was die Wissenschaft über das Ende des Kosmos weiß.

With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there's more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe?

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.

For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence.

Although it is widely understood that energy and water are the world’s two most critical resources, their vital interconnections and vulnerabilities are less often recognized. This farsighted audiobook offers a new, holistic way of thinking about energy and water - a big picture approach that reveals the interdependence of the two resources, identifies the seriousness of the challenges, and lays out an optimistic approach with an array of solutions to ensure continuing sustainability.

Sustainability has become a compelling topic of domestic and international debate as the world searches for effective solutions to accumulating ecological problems. In Return to Nature? An Ecological Counterhistory, Fred Dallmayr demonstrates how nature has been marginalized, colonized, and abused in the modern era.

Hör-Zeit in der Weite des Universums - Zeit für eine kurze Geschichte der Physik. Ist das Weltall grenzenlos oder hat es einen Anfang? Was bedeuten Raum und Zeit im unfassbaren Universum? Fragen, die schon Kinder beschäftigen, haben in der Geschichte der Physik zu aufregenden Theorien geführt. Von Aristoteles bis zur Quantenphysik sorgt Stephen Hawking in "Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit" für Überblick.

Were Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler wrong? Does Earth orbit the Sun, or does the Sun orbit Earth? For centuries, everyone thought the science was settled, but today the accepted cosmology is being challenged by writers, speakers, and movie producers who insist that science took a wrong turn in the 17th century. These new geocentrists claim not only that Earth is the center of our planetary system but that Earth is motionless at the very center of the universe.

Paul Singh and John R. Shook draw on the latest findings from the physical and biological sciences, astronomy and cosmology, geology and genetics, and prehistory and archeology in search of answers. As they lucidly and engagingly demonstrate, the answers science gives about ourselves and the universe in which we live are incomparably more surprising and interesting than any mythical tale about some clash of titans or calculating creator.

Were ancient Greek philosophers right about reality being only an illusion? What was really the biggest blunder of Einstein's life? Is everything we've been taught about the universe incorrect? In The Unobservable Universe, visionary scientist and engineer Scott M. Tyson successfully unravels cosmology from the level of rocket science and brings it down to Earth, demystifying the universe in terms that laymen can comprehend and enjoy, splitting atoms but not hairs on this magical mystery tour of the outback of time and space.

In Signposts to God, particle physicist Peter Bussey introduces listeners to the mysteries of modern physics and astronomy. Authored in clear, accessible prose, Bussey provides a primer on topics such as the laws of nature, quantum physics, fine-tuning, and current cosmological models. Bussey argues that, far from ruling out a divine creator, modern physics and astronomy present us with compelling signposts to God. The more we know about the cosmos and our presence in it, the more plausible belief in God becomes.

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.

Wenn die Galaxien-Forscherin Ruth Grützbauch nicht mit ihrem Pop-up-Planetarium, das in ein Lastenrad passt, durch die Lande fährt, bringt sie den Menschen in ihrem erfolgreichen Podcast die unendlichen Weiten des Weltraums näher. Kenntnisreich, mitreißend und charmant erzählt sie in "Per Lastenrad durch die Galaxis" die Geschichte des Kosmos als eine Geschichte der Galaxien. Ihr Hörbuch ist originell illustrierter Roadtrip zum Anfang des Universums und Lob der Astronomie - und ihrer gigantischen Teleskope, mit deren Hilfe wir das Unsichtbare zu sehen vermögen - in einem.

Un Univers en expansion - La cosmologie est l'étude de l'Univers dans son ensemble. En expansion depuis 15 milliards d'années, son histoire est jalonnée d'événements cosmiques : fabrication de la matière, génération du rayonnement cosmologique, apparition des galaxies... La cosmologie est aujourd'hui devenue une science, relativiste depuis le début du XX° siècle.Une histoire de nos nos connaissances sur l'Univers. Marc Lachièze-Rey retrace ici les grandes lignes de l'évolution des idées et des principes qui fondent nos connaissances sur l'Univers.

Astrophysikerin Suzanna Randall ist so fasziniert von unserem Kosmos, dass sie ständig in den Himmel schaut – und zwar mit den größten Teleskopen der Welt. Dabei fängt sie nicht nur sichtbare Lichtwellen ein, sondern enthüllt auch die Geheimnisse des unsichtbaren Universums. Randall stellt die interessantesten kosmischen Phänomene anhand der Farbpalette des Regenbogens vor: von roten Radiowellen bis violetter Gammastrahlung.

¿Cuáles son los mayores retos con los que se presenta el planeta, cuáles las mayores amenazas, dónde buscar la solución a los descomunales problemas con los que se enfrenta nuestra generación y las futuras? El origen y evolución del universo, la naturaleza del tiempo, la estructura de la materia, el infinito,las estrellas fugitivas, las ondas gravitacionales…Estos son algunos de los grandes temas que Rafael Bachiller aborda en este libro tanto desde un punto de vista científico como desde una perspectiva filosófica y humanista.

Instead of “what if the South won the Civil War?” cosmologists ask, “what if the constants that make up the fundamental building blocks of physics were different?” Physicists argue that any slight change to the laws of physics would mean a disruption in the evolution of the universe - and our existence. With the many factors that had to align for us to exist, it can seem like the laws of physics might seem finely tuned to make our existence possible. Instead of a supernatural or divine explanation, this book explores the possibility is that our universe isn’t the only one.

Book 1: is an inquiry and review of humanity's continual effort to gain hold of its legacy which was willed by God and passed on by many great souls. It asks many questions and gives suggestive answers to promote thought. It is like having a conversation with the author. What good is a mind if we don't use it?

Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, and yet they are ubiquitous. Frighteningly enigmatic, these dark giants continue to astound even the scientists who spend their careers studying them. Einstein’s Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it. From the small questions to the big ones - from the tiniest particles to the nature of space-time itself - black holes might be the key to a deeper understanding of the cosmos.
