Space Universe

¿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.

The Shades is the first volume in a four-book epic that will transport you to worlds as diverse as Nemazi--a desert planet wracked by storm fronts of fractured time; Pann--a layered world where civilizations build atop one another; and The Haven--a lone world in a null universe--a world that cannot exist and yet does!

The Lost Fleets have settled on an Originator Dyson Sphere in preparation for their greatest test yet. A great enemy is spreading across the universe conquering galaxy after galaxy. The few surviving Originators have asked Fleet Admiral Jeremy Strong to fight a war against their most hated enemy, the Anti-Life. If he fails to stop their advance, then the entire universe could be in danger.

Five years after the destruction of Rydon (the Ranger home world), there is not much in Known-Space that is just. Ranger Kyle Marcus Knight is determined to make the Universe safe and restore justice, even if he must do it alone. (Rangers are extremely arrogant).

It’s been three years since Esa left her backwater planet to join the ranks of the Justified. Together, she and fellow agent Jane Kamali have been traveling across the known universe, searching for children who share Esa’s supernatural gifts. On a visit to a particularly remote planet, they learn that they’re not the only ones searching for gifted children. They find themselves on the tail of a mysterious being with impossible powers who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the very children that Esa and Jane are trying to save.

The Agantzane—masters of a vast interstellar alliance known as the Consensus. Who are they? Where do they come from? Together with his reanimated son, Conor, Regan Quinn resumes his epic journey, outwitting enemies and forging alliances with enigmatic races before finally coming face to face with the elusive Agantzane. At stake—the future of humanity!

The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Regis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality.

Ten thousands years ago, the Furies nearly exterminated all life in the universe, before being defeated by a coalition of worlds led by the Olympians. Or so everyone thought.... Now they're back and a new reign of terror has begun. Chase trains to increase his powers tenfold in the hope to defeat the Furies once and for all. But will it be enough to stop an unstoppable enemy?

The second Locustan invasion has just begun, and the galaxy is already teetering. Milos is leading the fight but taking heavy losses. Annihilation seems inevitable. The galaxy's hope rests on finding the Fury, an ancient weapon of the legendary Unosi, which, if the legends are to be believed, had once stopped the Locustans. But the path to it has been long forgotten. Ramya Kiroff sets off on a journey to find it, with hopes of delivering a miracle to the galaxy.

Parallel universes sometimes collide and overlap to share a tiny sliver of space called a mixing zone. Anyone or anything caught in a mixing zone has about a 50-50 chance of remaining in their original location when the universes pull apart. Most beings throughout the universes are aware of this occasional phenomenon, but people on Earth - not so much. Certainly not Mark and Blackie. Mark and Blackie are brothers, and Wayne is Mark's best friend and the bass player in their band....

From one of our most acclaimed science writers: a dramatic narrative of the discovery of the true nature and startling size of the universe, delving back past the moment of revelation to trace the decades of work--by a select group of scientists--that made it possible.

The study of life and its existence in the universe, known as astrobiology, is now one of the hottest areas of both popular science and serious academic research, fusing biology, chemistry, astrophysics, and geology. Lewis Dartnell tours its latest findings, and explores some of the most fascinating questions in science. Could life emerge on other planets or moons? Could alien cells be based on silicon rather than carbon, or need ammonia instead of water?

Wrongly discredited as a space pilot, Panglor Balef is doomed to die in space, if sheer luck doesn’t bring him through. But luck has never been in Panglor’s cards. Bad enough to be coerced into a mission of murder and suicide, he must also contend with Alo—a young woman, stowaway, and impossible companion. Neither of them, nor his empathic ou-ralot, could possibly anticipate the journey through space-time they are about to embark on, through a door to an insane reality from which there is almost certainly no return.

Adrift in space! His rigger crewmates suddenly and horribly dead, Gev Carlyle is adrift in the Flux, the "subjective sea" that carries ships at faster-than-light speeds between the stars. His lone companion and his only hope for survival is a cantankerous, catlike, castaway alien.

James Holden e il suo equipaggio vengono spediti a bordo della Rocinante nel bel mezzo della rivolta. La loro è una missione impossibile: trovare uno spiraglio di pace tra tanta violenza e restituire ordine a un caos che ormai sembra inarrestabile, perché da esso nasce il morbo, la pestilenza che minaccia l'universo e che sta uccidendo, insieme agli uomini, il sogno di civilizzazione fin lì intrapreso.

En El universo en una caja, el profesor de cosmología Andrew Pontzen, explica de una manera clara y rigurosa qué son las simulaciones, esos códigos informáticos con los que los científicos han podido recrear el universo y profundizar en su historia, poniendo a prueba por primera vez ideas centenarias. Esta suerte de manual fundamental para amantes de la astronomía, que aún está desplegando sus capacidades, replantea lo que creemos saber sobre los agujeros negros o la materia cósmica para arrojar nuevas luces sobre nuestra realidad.

¿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?

Whatever Navigator Selena Samuelson expected when her Fractal Class ship, Chimera, arrived at Earth, it certainly wasn't a brutal attack from an unknown enemy that killed more than half her crew and all but destroyed her ship. Deserted by their captain and the only other navigator, Selena makes a terrible gamble and flees for Damascene - a colony that lost contact with Earth hundreds of years ago.

Are you ready to join them on their epic journey?
