¿Qué es la física cuántica? ¿Conoces los misterios más grandes del Universo? La física cuántica es, de todas las teorías científicas, la que quizás más verificaciones y contrastaciones ha recibido al mismo tiempo, y a la vez la más determinante para la vida que llevamos en el siglo XXI. El término “cuántica” proviene de “quantum”, que es la unidad más pequeña que conforma la luz. La física cuántica nos enseña que más allá de todo lo que es material y palpable hay energía.

When it comes to scientists that have made their mark in the world, none are perhaps more famous than Albert Einstein. Students around the world are taught about his theories and equations, with E=mc2 undoubtedly being the most famous. However, there was more to this man than simply being a genius or the original prototype of the mad professor. Instead, this was a man that was dedicated to not only his profession, but also the concept of pacifism, something that most people are unaware of.

Everywhere light goes, It has found that darkness is already there. Darkness is the natural state of the universe. For a star to be born, it takes an astounding number of possibilities to become a reality. From this unlikely alignment, we now have trillions of stars! Thankfully stars would progress to give us light, life, and an observable universe. No one knows how many stars exist, but we will tour a handful of the most famous in our known universe. Sit back and enjoy the world of outer space that spreads before you. Each constellation and luminary has a story that you won’t want to miss!

Some see dust as dull stuff, useless at best, and sneeze-inducing at worst. But in the hands of writer Hannah Holmes, dust becomes a dazzling and mysterious force. As Holmes says, dust is a messenger, and air is its medium. And by the end of this fascinating journey through The Secret Life of Dust, we cannot help but agree.

Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, and yet they are ubiquitous. Frighteningly enigmatic, these dark giants continue to astound even the scientists who spend their careers studying them. Einstein’s Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it. From the small questions to the big ones - from the tiniest particles to the nature of space-time itself - black holes might be the key to a deeper understanding of the cosmos.

In 1963, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and given two years to live. More than half a century later, Hawking had made some of the most significant contributions to our understanding of the universe since Albert Einstein. The world’s most famous physics professor, a best-selling author, and a father of three, Stephen lived his life to its fullest. Bridging the world of theoretical physics with the reach of pop culture, Stephen Hawking became an emblem of human determination and intellectual curiosity.

How did we get here? All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants. In How Evolution Explains Everything About Life, leading biologists and New Scientist take you on a journey of a lifetime, exploring the questions of whether life is inevitable or a one-off fluke and how it got kick-started.

Renowned American astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi (born James Plummer) pens a gripping, gritty coming-of-age memoir, from young boy to graduate-school student, that will resonate with teenagers, especially those of color, who are facing many choices and obstacles as they navigate their young adult lives.

Have you ever wondered what makes a kite fly or a boat float? Have you ever thought about why snowflakes are symmetrical, or why golf balls have dimples? Have you ever tried to make a kaleidoscope or build a pair of stilts? In Calling All Minds, Temple Grandin explores the ideas behind all of those questions and more. She delves into the science behind inventions, the steps various people took to create and improve upon ideas as they evolved, and the ways in which young inventors can continue to think about and understand what it means to tinker, to fiddle, and to innovate.

See what pulls and pushes can do through several examples of forces and motion in everyday life. Pair this nonfiction title with its fiction companion book, Milo and the Ball.

Questo audiolibro racconta la visione della natura dal punto di vista della scienza della complessità ed è un bello stimolo per vedere e vivere la natura in modo nuovo ed evolvere in e con essa. La natura scoperta dal pensiero della complessità è una natura aperta, dinamica, interdipendente. Noi siamo natura. È la natura che crea i nostri sogni. Senza la natura, i sogni non esistono.

Join author Sihir Rajan for a fascinating and thought provoking look at what modern science and investigation now tell us about ourselves and how current research is shedding new light on the reality of what religions around the world have professed for centuries.... "Death is only the beginning!"

Einstein es empleado de la Oficina de Patentes y Marcas en Berna. Es un científico desconocido que no ha podido conseguir un puesto docente en ninguna universidad. Con apenas 25 años y mediante una serie de experimentos mentales descubre la Teoría Especial de la Relatividad, el primer hito de la física teórica del siglo XX. Albert Einstein y Niels Bohr discuten la vigencia de la mecánica cuántica. Einstein acepta su validez pero se niega a aceptar la incertidumbre que dicha teoría propone... 

Green belts are part of the landscape and psyche of post-war Britain, but have led to conflicts at every level of society - between conservationists and developers, town and country, politicians and people, nimbys and the forces of progress. Growing up on 'the last road in London' on an estate at the edge of the woods, John Grindrod had a childhood that mirrored these tensions. His family, too, seemed caught between two worlds: his wheelchair-bound mother and soft hearted father had moved from the inner city and had trouble adjusting.
