Science Fiction Physics

A dying man stumbles into a police station and collapses. In his fist is a mysterious coin with strange markings. He tells the police he's from the future, and when they uncover the coin's hidden message, they're inclined to believe him. Daniel Rice never asked for fame, but his key role in Earth's first contact with an alien civilization thrust him into a social arena where any crackpot might take aim. When the FBI arrives at his door and predictions of the future start coming true, Daniel is dragged into a mission to save the world from nuclear holocaust.

Our brains evolved to solve the survival problems of our Stone Age ancestors, so when faced with modern-day situations that are less extreme, they often encounter a mismatch. Our primitive brains put us on the wrong foot by responding to stimuli that - in prehistoric times - would have prompted behaviour that was beneficial. If you've ever felt an anxious fight-or-flight response to a presenting at a board meeting, equivalent to facing imminent death by sabre-toothed tiger, then you have experienced a mismatch.

The afterlife doesn't come with a manual. In fact, Hart and Bowler (two ordinary but dead men) have had to work out the rules of their new existence for themselves. It's that fact (along with being unable to leave the boundaries of their city center, unable to communicate with the other lost souls, unable to rest in case The Beast catches up with them) that makes getting out of their situation a priority. But Hart and Bowler don't know why they're there in the first place; if they ever want to leave, they will have to find all the answers to be able to understand the physics of the dead.

In 'Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale', join young Kip on his adventure as he sets out to seek his fortune with nothing but a single apple to his name. Along the way, Kip meets a wizard with mysterious plans and encounters situations that introduce us to some of the foundations of physics, including Newton's laws of motion.

Das Multiversum, die Leere, die Existenz selbst. Noch nie stand mehr auf dem Spiel, und es liegt an den drei Freunden, den Tag zu retten. Ihre Reise in die Leere wird sich als ebenso schädlich wie lukrativ erweisen. Ihre Hoffnung? So viel Macht zu erhalten, dass sie das Ranking selbst brechen können. Aber was sie nicht bedacht haben, ist die Wirkung, welche die absolute und totale Verzweiflung der Leere auf sie haben wird.

Zuerst der Zinnoberrote Drache.Dann das Multiversum! Nach der Apokalypse kämpft die Menschheit um ihr Überleben in einer Welt, in der mysteriöse Partikel entstanden sind. Um sich auf den Moment vorzubereiten, in dem die Erde nicht mehr geschützt ist und der Planet für die Invasion einer außerirdischen Spezies offen steht, haben Liam und seine Gefährten das Leuchtfeuer, ihre Zufluchtsstätte, in eine Festung verwandelt.

Das dritte Buch der Physik der Apokalypse-Reihe beschäftigt sich endlich mit dem Zinnoberroten Drachen. Ein epischer Abschluss von Liams schlimmstem Feind und eine Öffnung zu einer Welt, die viel größer ist, als er sich je vorgestellt hat.

Die USAG wurde zerstört und Liam hat es gerade noch so geschafft, zu überleben. Er hat keine Zeit zu verlieren und plant seine Rache. Aber zuerst muss er eine Operationsbasis errichten. Im Schloss Neuschwanstein.

An experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland has gone hideously wrong. Divine manifestations have become commonplace, the fundamental laws of physics are mutating, and only a young Hungarian grad student understands what has happened. This short story is a 2013 AML Award winner.

"Il viaggio di Lucio Eurisko" è un romanzo che scorre via leggero, trasmettendo all'ascoltatore una visione di vita più vera e consapevole. Continue domande inducono a ragionare con la propria testa su fatti scientifici e religiosi che sono stati alterati. L'ascoltatore comprenderà perché il DNA palesa l'esistenza di un progettista creatore, o perché l'apparato LAD del nostro cervello rivela che non esiste l'evoluzione che crea nuove specie o perché la meiosi cellulare è l'evidente prova che siamo stati creati, ma capirà anche com'è organizzata la lobby dei sacerdoti gay e pedofili.

The year is 2044. Housed in a secret complex beneath the eastern Arizona desert, a consortium of governments and corporations have undertaken a program on the scale of the Manhattan Project to bludgeon the laws of physics into submission and make time travel a reality. Fraught with insecurities, Marshall Grissom has spent his whole life trying not to call attention to himself, so he can’t imagine he would be remotely suited for the role of time travel pioneer.

Have you ever used your imagination to solve a problem? When Albert Einstein was young, he was fascinated by the way magnetism made a compass work. As an adult, he used thought experiments to solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. Einstein loved to think about math and science. He worked for a while at a patent office, but his mind wasn't focused on inventions. Instead, he thought about the universe. In 1905, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity solved questions that scientists had grappled with for hundreds of years.
