Space Universe

Parallel universes sometimes collide and overlap to share a tiny sliver of space called a mixing zone. Anyone or anything caught in a mixing zone has about a 50-50 chance of remaining in their original location when the universes pull apart. Most beings throughout the universes are aware of this occasional phenomenon, but people on Earth - not so much. Certainly not Mark and Blackie. Mark and Blackie are brothers, and Wayne is Mark's best friend and the bass player in their band....

The study of life and its existence in the universe, known as astrobiology, is now one of the hottest areas of both popular science and serious academic research, fusing biology, chemistry, astrophysics, and geology. Lewis Dartnell tours its latest findings, and explores some of the most fascinating questions in science. Could life emerge on other planets or moons? Could alien cells be based on silicon rather than carbon, or need ammonia instead of water?

Whatever Navigator Selena Samuelson expected when her Fractal Class ship, Chimera, arrived at Earth, it certainly wasn't a brutal attack from an unknown enemy that killed more than half her crew and all but destroyed her ship.

Someone has to stop them.

La física moderna ofrece numerosos avances sobre el origen y el funcionamiento del universo, conocimientos que se transmiten en forma de ecuaciones que, a menudo, nos parecen un galimatías. Con talento incomparable, Sean Carroll demuestra que esas ecuaciones son como verdaderos poemas repletos de significado que nos ayudan a descubrir un milagroso paisaje multidimensional de gigantes radiantes, espacio-tiempo deformado, agujeros negros o fuerzas increíblemente poderosas, y, en suma, que son accesibles a cualquier persona con estudios de matemáticas de secundaria.

Beset by dreams where he flies through the early universe as a sentient starship, he will never be safe if his secret gets out.

This audiobook is an exploration of infinity and new understandings of our universe which have come to light in recent decades.

James Holden e il suo equipaggio vengono spediti a bordo della Rocinante nel bel mezzo della rivolta. La loro è una missione impossibile: trovare uno spiraglio di pace tra tanta violenza e restituire ordine a un caos che ormai sembra inarrestabile, perché da esso nasce il morbo, la pestilenza che minaccia l'universo e che sta uccidendo, insieme agli uomini, il sogno di civilizzazione fin lì intrapreso.

The marvelous complexity of the universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape, scale, and destiny. Where did these laws and these constants come from? And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematics? Author Peter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the universe with its laws and its constants. He explores the origin of the conservation of energy, of electromagnetism, of classical and quantum mechanics, and of thermodynamics, showing how all these laws spring from deep symmetries.

It turns out that there is a prophecy about an ancient place called the "Home".

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.

It was supposed to be a peace conference, designed to bring the galaxy back down from the brink of war. But why they picked Capt. Cain's Bar & Grill as the location of the high-level talks is anyone's guess. And now a deadly conspiracy reveals itself, leaving Adam, along with the other Humans on Liave-3, running for their lives, accused of a political assassination they didn't commit. Now a desperate race is underway to find the alien assassin so they can clear their names and bring the real leaders of the conspiracy to justice. Can they do it? Really? You have to ask.

When Adam Cain's old bounty-hunting friends, Summer, Monty, and Tidus, show up searching for the most-wanted fugitive in the galaxy, their efforts are thwarted by another old friend, Copernicus Smith.

The elusive alien absconded with billions of credits from his homeworld just before the Mad Aris Kracion irradiated the planet. And now it seems as though the entire galaxy is looking for him.
