À propos de cet audio
Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all - from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel.
Describing the latest discoveries in astrophysics, the informative and entertaining narrative propels you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space. How do stars live and die? Why did Pluto lose its planetary status? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding, and why is its expansion accelerating? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Answering these and many other questions, the authors open your eyes to the wonders of the cosmos, sharing their knowledge of how the universe works.
Breathtaking in scope, Welcome to the Universe is for those who hunger for insights into our evolving universe that only world-class astrophysicists can provide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining, independent science-fiction film opened in a mere 32 American movie theatres. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, Star Wars reinvented the cinematic landscape, ushering in a new way for movies to be made, marketed, and merchandised. Simply put, George Lucas is one of the most influential filmmakers of the past 50 years.

In this grand poetic vision of the universe, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world that underlies reality - and our place within it. Reality is not what you think or sense - it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive, and its inner workings seem at least as implausible as the idea that something can come from nothing. With his trademark wit and accessible style, Krauss leads us to realms so small that they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence.

In this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand reporting with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes like big wave legend Laird Hamilton, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow”, an optimal state of consciousness in which we perform and feel our best.

Amazing!
absolutely amazing to learn how vast the universe is, and how so many scientists have contributed to our understanding of it!
All you could want to know is in this book, and then some... it's unbelievable how scientists were able to calculate everything from the size, mass and distance to planets, their moons, stars, galaxies and much, much more.
The narrator is very good at keeping one's interest with his soothing voice.
Well done by all who contributed to this marvelous story!

Great listen. Very informative and concise. I learned new and fabulous things. I reacquainted myself with pieces of information I had forgotten. Physics the mother of all sciences...

Excellent content... annoying narrator
Tyson should have narrated the book entirely or someone who doesn’t have a nasal annoyingly pitched voice. The content is compelling and remarkable... but took me several tries to finish due to my annoyance with the tone and pitch and cadence of the narrator.

Great title
overall quite informative and delivered in a way that keeps you interested
one con being the narrators voice. I would occasionally drift and start focusing on how nasally and annoying the voice was instead of the content

Can I get this narrated by anyone else?
I enjoyed the book when I borrowed it from the library but I don't own it so I figured I'd buy the audible version. Now I don't know what it is about the narrator's voice that simultaneously exhausts and irritates me but if you're anything like me this book will be very good for putting you to sleep in minutes as opposed to teaching you cool science stuff. I know that's rather mean but what I previously liked I find impossible to grasp in this version. That's what I get for not listening to the sample! Sorry Mr. Murray, I'm sure you're a lovely person in person.
