The New York Times best-selling author of Einstein's Dreams presents a collection of essays, written over the past 20 years, that displays his genius for bringing literary and scientific concerns into ringing harmony. Sometimes provocative, sometimes fanciful, always elegantly conceived and written, these meditations offer listeners a fascinating look into the creative compulsions shared by the scientist and the artist.

This Is Planet Earth is dedicated to the wonders of planet Earth, the most amazing place in the known universe. The ancient Greeks called it Gaia, the Romans Terra. We know it simply as Earth, the planet we call home. And what a planet it is. Formed around 4.6 billion years ago from the debris of the big bang and long-dead stars, at first it was nothing special, but somehow it evolved to become the most amazing place in the known universe.

A highly entertaining and accessible introduction to our planet from the best-selling author of Schrödinger's Cat, The Scientists, and In Search of the Multiverse. In this incredible expedition into the origins, workings, and evolution of our home planet, John Gribbin does what he does best: takes four and a half billion years of mind-boggling science and digs out the best bits. From the physics of Newton and the geology of Wegener, to the environmentalism of Lovelock, this is a must-listen for Earth's scientists and residents alike.

Curiosity stirs the soul of every human. Who has not wondered about how the human body works? Can we drown from drinking too much water? What is a black hole? Can black holes allow us to time travel? Is spontaneous human combustion possible? Do identical twins have the same fingerprints? How do scientists age dinosaur bones? How does gravity make things fall? Why do sunflowers always face the sun? What about a man flying with wings? How big would those wings have to be? How tall can a human grow? Why are tennis balls fuzzy? What happens to the white when snow melts?

The fascinating science behind the eventual end to everything - from the individual to all existence. Although we may try to keep it tucked at the back of our minds, most of us are aware of our own mortality. But few among us know what science, with the help of insights yielded from groundbreaking new research, has to say about death on a larger scale. Enter astronomer Chris Impey, who chronicles the death of the whole shebang.

In Dream Physics, Damian Amamoo shows you how to explore your consciousness and connect with your own lucid inner truth. Dream Physics begins by taking a look at problems facing modern science including difficulties accepting “odd” phenomena and the quest for a Grand Unified Theory of everything or GUT. Dream Physics then prepares you for a journey of consciousness by introducing a framework for “Creative Science” to familiarize you with some of the environments that are accessible via lucid dreaming.

There is no real limit in the discipline of physics. It involves matters that are as huge as the galaxy to things as small as neutrons. This audiobook deals with the smallest side of it, which is the branch of quantum physics. Throughout the course of this audiobook, you will get a much better understanding of quantum physics starting from the basic concepts to some in-depth information. You will also see a lot of math and calculus in the audiobook since quantum physics uses many concepts from those subjects.

In 1911, some of the greatest minds in science convened at the First Solvay Conference in Physics, a meeting like no other. Almost half of the attendees had won or would go on to win the Nobel Prize. Over the course of those few days, these minds began to realize that classical physics was about to give way to quantum theory, a seismic shift in our history and how we understand not just our world, but the universe.

Why does a football spiral? How do some athletes jump so high? The answer is science! The Secret Science of Sports helps kids better understand concepts of science, technology, engineering, and math through the sports they love to play and watch.

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.

In Search of a Theory of Everything takes listeners on an adventurous journey through space and time on a quest for a unified "theory of everything" by means of a rare and agile interplay between the natural philosophies of influential ancient Greek thinkers and the laws of modern physics.

In questo audiolibro esclusivo Simone Bedetti ti introduce al pensiero di un grande scienziato e filosofo della natura, il premio Nobel per la chimica Ilya Prigogine. Prigogine, tra gli iniziatori della scienza della complessità, noto per le sue teorie sulle strutture dissipative, i sistemi complessi e l'irreversibilità, ha proposto una nuova e radicale visione del mondo riformulando il secondo principio della termodinamica: ogni processo naturale è irreversibile e tende ad aumentare la sua entropia (e quella dell'ambiente in cui si trova).

Como una invitación a descubrir que la física y la matemática son materias cautivantes y no un mal recuerdo escolar, Andrés Gomberoff nos presenta este libro en el que todo lector podrá compartir el placer y la pasión por la ciencia.

Der Siegeszug der klassischen Physik hat die Welt entzaubert. Die Realität, so die gängige Auffassung, wird von Naturgesetzen geregelt, die letztlich alles erklären können. Doch dieses Bild ist falsch. Viele grundlegende Fragen sind noch immer unbeantwortet. Und die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Quantentheorie weisen sogar darauf hin, dass es eine Realität jenseits von unserer Vorstellung von Raum und Zeit gibt.

«Has cambiado mi vida» es una frase muy común en los emails que Walter Lewin recibe a diario de fans cautivados por sus «videoclases» sobre la física. Durante cuarenta y tres años como profesor en el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts, Lewin ha perfeccionado su peculiar arte de enseñar y de hacer de la física algo divertido. En Por amor a la física Lewin responde a preguntas curiosas y nos acompaña en un viaje maravilloso abriendo nuestros ojos a la belleza y al poder con los que la física puede revelar los mecanismos ocultos del mundo que nos rodea.

The real nature of time is still a mystery, even after thousands of years of philosophers and scientists analyzing it and proposing theories about it. Prophecy has existed for most of humanity’s time on Earth, and there is a lot of reason to think that seeing the future does reveal some of what happens and is about to happen. I also wrote two books on this subject, including the history of prophecy and my own experiences.

Teletransporte, máquinas del tiempo, campos de fuerza y naves intergalácticas: ¿materia de ciencia ficción o tecnologías potencialmente disponibles en el futuro? Inspirado por los mundos fantásticos de H.G. Wells, Star Trek o La guerra de las galaxias, el prestigioso físico teórico y divulgador Michio Kaku lanza una mirada inteligente, seria y a menudo sorprendente a lo que nuestra actual comprensión de las leyes del universo nos permite vislumbrar en el futuro.

Viajes en el tiempo, agujeros negros, motores de antimateria, aceleración del universo... La física moderna suena a película, pero es ciencia, de la de verdad verdadera, la que nos cuenta una historia fascinante de descubrimientos y sueños cumplidos, de luchas y disputas, y de pasión por comprender la naturaleza. Este divertido audio libro te ayudará a entender de una vez por todas lo que nos rodea, desde lo más pequeño a lo más grande, y a saber que El bosón de Higgs no te va a hacer la cama, ¡ni aunque le insistas!

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.
