Energy Physics

All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial five per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced. Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That ’something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets.

Discover the powerful world of energy! Budding scientists learn about the different types of energy, including chemical energy, kinetic energy, and solar energy.

Vianna Stibal was diagnosed with a serious health condition. When conventional and alternative medicine failed her, she discovered a simple technique that cured her illness and sparked a worldwide phenomenon. ThetaHealing® is essentially applied quantum physics. Using a theta brain wave, which until now was believed to be accessible only in deep sleep or yogi-level meditation, the practitioner is able to connect with the energy of All That Is - the energy in everything - to identify issues with and witness healings on the physical body, and to identify and change limiting beliefs.

Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only four percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, our books, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown. Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of the quest to find this “dark” matter and an even more bizarre substance called “dark energy”. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize.

A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory.

What is matter? Matter is the stuff from which we and all the things in the world are made. Everything around us - from desks, to books, to our own bodies - are made of atoms, which are small enough that a million of them can fit across the breadth of a human hair. Inside every atom is a tiny nucleus and orbiting the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. The nucleus is made out of protons and neutrons, and by zooming in further, you would find that inside each there are even smaller particles: quarks.

The laws of thermodynamics drive everything that happens in the universe. From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal - everything is moved or restrained by four simple laws. This powerful and compact introduction explains what these four laws are and how they work, using accessible language and virtually no mathematics.

In audiobook format, uses aliens to explain the science of energy.

Futurologist Luna Lee presents possibilities for the future of energy in the next 100 years.

In this 1972 treatise, Isaac Asimov takes the listener on an historic journey through the development of man's understanding of electricity, chemistry, and - ultimately - nuclear energy. Asimov's incomparable ability to simplify the complex is apparent as he guides you through the milestones of scientific thought that connected ideas about electricity and magnetism to the nature of matter, and led to the advances in discovery through the first half of the 20th century that resulted in the harnessing of previously unknown energy directly from the heart of the atom.

Do you know what electricity is? Fun lyrics and engaging sound effects will teach young physicists that electricity is a kind of energy that gives us light, heat, and power. This fun audiobook will encourage kids to explore the wonders of electricity.

Light shines through your kitchen window. A campfire brightens the dark woods. You see light all around you. But where does most light come from? And how does it travel? Listen to this audiobook to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the Exploring Physical Science series - part of the Lightning Bolt Books™ collection. Lightning Bolt Books™ bring nonfiction topics to life!

A pot of water boils over a hot burner on the stove. Sunshine warms your skin on a breezy day. Heat is warming things all around you. But what exactly is heat? And how do things become warmer or colder? Listen to this audiobook to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the Exploring Physical Science series - part of the Lightning Bolt Books™ collection. Lightning Bolt Books™ bring nonfiction topics to life!

Did you know that tiny atoms that make up all matter hold huge amounts of energy? This energy, called nuclear energy, can power the television and refrigerator in your home. How is nuclear energy produced, though? And what are the drawbacks of this energy source? Listen to this audiobook to find out all about nuclear energy.

For thousands of years, humans have lived by rules and formulas created back in a very barbaric time. Since then humans have moved forward but these old instructions for life haven't. Humans find themselves pulled between the two most powerful forces in the universe: creative and destructive.

In order to know where to find solar energy you must first know what solar energy is. Solar energy is energy from the sun. When the sun is shining solar energy is being produced as it sends the heat radiating to the earth.

Nata sotto la cattiva stella dell'arma che può distruggere il mondo, l'energia nucleare ha sempre attirato grandi consensi e grandi rifiuti. Da qualche anno si parla di "rinascimento nucleare" poiché questa fonte sembra rispondere non solo alla crescente domanda di energia mondiale, ma anche all'esigenza di produrre elettricità senza emettere gas serra. Ma è vero che il nucleare conviene e può contribuire allo sviluppo sostenibile? Oppure il rischio di emissioni radioattive e il problema delle scorie da smaltire ce ne devono tenere lontani?

Music is pleasant sound. Music is produced by instruments, each with a unique sound. In this book, you will get to know the instrument families such as brass, woodwind, stringed, and percussion. Identify the instruments under each family, and listen about how they produce sound. Which of these instruments is your favorite?

A fatal flaw in the most fundamental model of nature has been overlooked for so long that many people do not question it. The transverse wave model of photons has failed at almost every prediction its proponents made. And the proof of its validity as a model for photons has failed to consider that longitudinal waves accomplish the same thing in most experiments. Don't ignore the inconvenient facts that oppose your model.
