It’s a story of physical immortality, love, and evolution which transcends our universe. A journey through the ages of mankind and the universe, which leads to some startling decisions which affect all of creation and beyond. Many spiritual powers are developed and used in confrontations as part of the evolution of the characters in this story.

When Galileo looked to the sky with his perspicillum, or spyglass, roughly 400 years ago, he could not have fathomed the amount of change his astonishing findings a seemingly flat moon magically transformed into a dynamic, crater-filled orb and a large, black sky suddenly held millions of galaxies would have on civilizations.

Tommaso Ghidini, da vent'anni coinvolto nei più prestigiosi programmi aerospaziali al mondo e alto funzionario dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea, quella passione l'ha scoperta molto presto: il volo. L'irresistibile attrazione per quello spazio senza confini che è il cielo, sottile congiunzione tra la Terra e le stelle, ha plasmato la sua esistenza. Ghidini oggi ha occhi che vedono il futuro più da vicino di molti altri.

O que você pretende fazer quando chegar ao Restaurante no Fim do Universo? Devorar o suculento bife de um boi que se oferece como jantar ou apenas se embriagar com a poderosa Dinamite Pangaláctica, assistindo de camarote ao momento em que tudo se acaba numa explosão fatal? A continuação das incríveis aventuras de Arthur Dent e seus quatro amigos através da Galáxia começa a bordo da nave Coração de Ouro, rumo ao restaurante mais próximo. Mal sabem eles que farão uma viagem no tempo, cujo desfecho será simplesmente incrível.

Alzando lo sguardo al cielo in una notte stellata, chi non si interroga su quanto grande sia l'universo, quale sia la sua origine, il suo destino? Oggi è possibile rispondere su basi scientifiche a molte domande antichissime, che riguardano l'evoluzione del cosmo, la sua estensione spaziale e temporale, gli elementi che lo costituiscono. Ma i segreti sono lungi dall'essere tutti svelati. La nostra conoscenza cosmologica, infatti, ha incontrato negli ultimi decenni un limite che per il momento non riusciamo a superare. Anzi due.

"Che cosa sappiamo sull'universo, e come lo sappiamo? Da dove è venuto, e dove sta andando? L'universo ebbe un inizio e, in tal caso cosa c'era prima? Il tempo avrà mai una fine?". Con questi quesiti Stephen Hawking ci introduce in una straordinaria avventura: un'emozionante cavalcata nel tempo. L'espansione dell'universo, il principio di indeterminazione, le particelle elementari e le forze della natura, l'origine e la sorte dell'universo, l'unificazione della fisica sono le grandi tappe di questo viaggio indimenticabile.

The Short Story of the Universe is a new introduction to the subject of the universe. Covering 130 key components that make it up - from dwarf galaxies and spiral arms to red giants and the planets of the solar system - and linking these to the universe's structure and the theories that help us understand it, this book simplifies this riveting yet mind-boggling subject, telling the story of how it came into being and how it will eventually be no more.

Captain Nova Ardis rescued her brother, but lost her planet. As a Lady of the Accord Systems, she has to figure out the depths of betrayal before she can go home. Kovak’s life has taken a dangerous turn. In helping Nova free her brother and choosing to fight the arena battle in his stead, the gladiator has made some very powerful enemies.

Follow Jason’s life into experiencing many universes as he becomes the richest man in the solar system then leads a colonization expedition to find incredible things in the cosmos. His trip proves to be much more exciting than planned when the star drive is sabotaged and the ship ends up in a series of different universes. The ship’s crew learns how to navigate many different universes and meet some God-like aliens.

Quanto è grande l'universo? C'è stato un inizio e ci sarà una fine? Come si è fatta strada l'ipotesi del Big Bang? Come si fa a scoprire il passato dell'universo e a prevederne l'evoluzione futura? Domande antiche e in parte ancora irrisolte. Nel volume i passi più importanti del lungo cammino scientifico dall'età moderna fino alle scoperte più recenti, riguardanti la gerarchia di strutture cosmiche, l'espansione dell'universo, lo stato iniziale ultracaldo e ultradenso, che oggi i cosmologi possono osservare direttamente grazie a sofisticati telescopi e strumenti spaziali.

A Journey Through the Universe is a grand tour of the most amazing celestial objects and how they fit together to build the cosmos. There's a whole universe out there.... Imagine you had a spacecraft capable of travelling through interstellar space. You climb in, blast into orbit, fly out of the solar system and keep going. Where do you end up, and what do you see along the way? The answer is: mostly nothing. Space is astonishingly, mind-blowingly empty.

Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their astronomical observations. In it, they had found the key to unravelling the story of the big bang and the origin of our universe. That signal was the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the big bang. This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space.

The death of Eldorat has more far reaching implications than sparking the V'kit'no'sat civil war. Other races have taken notice as well, for, while hidden, they have many scouts out searching the galaxy to keep them informed of the status of the Hadarak war and many other things.

Con miles de millones de años de ser testigo de la vida en la Tierra, de ver a cien mil millones de humanos en su vida cotidiana, de sentirse increíblemente sola y de escuchar su propia historia contada por otros, a la Vía Láctea (con sus cien mil millones de estrellas y cincuenta undecillones de toneladas de gas) le gustaría hablar por sí misma.

Após as loucas aventuras vividas com seus estranhos amigos em O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias e O Restaurante no Fim do Universo, Arthur Dent ficou cinco anos abandonado na Terra Pré-Histórica. Mesmo depois de tanto tempo, ele ainda acordava todas as manhãs com um grito de horror por estar preso àquela monótona e assustadora rotina. Talvez Arthur até preferisse continuar isolado em sua caverna escura, úmida e fedorenta a encarar a próxima aventura para a qual seria forçosamente arrastado: salvar o Universo dos temíveis robôs xenófobos do planeta Krikkit.

The "universe" refers to all "observable things", ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. A guide for an enjoyable visit to the universe, this small tome on fundamental physics, cosmology, Higgs bosons, time travel, and all that is unlike any other analogous book. Its scientific statements are correct or, at least, they coincide with the opinions held by the vast majority of experts. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure and things that we know that we do not know, or we do not understand.

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.

The science behind the debate raging in modern physics over the disconcerting and uncomfortable realization that just maybe there is, as astronomer Fred Hoyle put it, some sort of "superintellect that has monkeyed with the physics". Written with the non-scientist in mind, this exploration of the big bang, Schroedinger's cat, the chaos of 9/11, the complexity of the mimic octopus and the blister beetle, and the strong anthropic principle is accessible to anyone bright enough to be interested.

The Well-Planned Universe provides evidence-based insights into the nature of our world, ourselves, and the universe beyond. The book explains how recent developments in computer science along with evidence from physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biology reveal that there is more to the universe and ourselves than most people realize.
