Engineering 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).

Regenerative medicine has long targeted the impossible - regrowing a diseased organ, or a hand lost in an accident. But biologist Michael Levin thinks an astonishing breakthrough may be within reach. He has resurrected a much-maligned branch of science, and shown that a little-understood process can trigger remarkable feats of regeneration in animals. As his research advances, he's moving us closer to the day when regeneration is possible in people.

This audiobook contains theories of light, gravity, magnetism, atomic structure, matter, energy, the sun, and more. Ten new theories in physics, plus two ways to win the Nobel Prize, an open letter to Nobel and Breakthrough Prize, and more. Everyone can understand this material; no math proficiency is needed, but an open mind and rational thinking are required.

In Steps to the Stars: The Quantum Physics of Valiant Thor, Dan Fry, a nuclear scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and one of the first UFO contactees, discusses the advanced physics concepts passed on to him from the enlightened thinker, Valiant Thor (also known as "The Stranger at the Pentagon"), concerning the antigravity propulsion systems of flying saucers and other galaxial vehicles. This special edition features a foreword by Valiant Thor and an epilogue by the publisher, Gray Barker.

Did you know that San Diego’s Frozen Zoo is home to preserved DNA samples from over 8,000 endangered or threatened species, or that the tell-tale smell of freshly mowed grass is actually the plant’s version of a distress call? And what about Henrietta Lacks, the “immortal woman” whose cancer cells have been divided and multiplied for research purposes for over 60 years? Even if you think you have a handle on all things trivia, you're guaranteed a big surprise with Now I Know: Science.

From the dawn of time, man has sought to understand the universe and his place in it. How did the Earth and the Solar System come to be? How was the universe created? Like other scientific disciplines, astronomy and astrophysics is one big detective story. Hypotheses are formed, observations taken, and experiments performed in the search for universal laws that describe all that we see. In this resourceful guide, common and uncommon questions about the universe will be explained in comprehensive but easy-to-understand terms.

Did you know that the sun is a star? Without the sun’s light and heat, there would be no live on Earth. Kids will learn why the sun is so important to us in this musical audiobook perfect for young scientists.

Does the universe circle around Earth? Do creatures live on the sun? Can you tell the future by looking at the stars? At one time science supported wild notions like these! But later studies proved these ideas were nonsense. Discover science's biggest mistakes and oddest assumptions about physics and astronomy, and see how scientific thought changed over time.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, a former star, amateur wrestler at Harvard who went on to become an award-winning astrophysicist, might be the most well-known science communicator in the United States since the late Carl Sagan. Tyson, who has served as the director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City since 1996, had published a dozen books prior to Astrophysics for People in a Hurry; all of them have been aimed at a popular audience. In spite of that, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry is probably his most accessible and scaled-down work to date.
