Once a month, Purdue University's Professor Paul Duffell discusses astronomy and astrophysics with experts from around the world. Duffell and guests discuss supernovae, galaxies, planets, black holes, and the nature of space and time.Supported by the National Science Foundation under grant AAG-2206299.Music by Brittain Ashford.Produced in beautiful Lafayette, Indiana by Paul Duffell.Follow us on BlueSky!

光速c、重力定数G、電子の電荷の大きさe、プランク定数h。これらの基礎物理定数は日常から宇宙までを支配する法則が数値となったものだ。我々はふだん物理定数など意識せずに暮らしているが、この値が違えば太陽はブラック・ホールと化し、人類は地球にいられず火星に住むハメになり、宇宙の姿は激変する。

Our understanding of nature's deepest reality has changed radically, but almost without our noticing, over the past 25 years. Transcending the clash of older ideas about matter and space, acclaimed physicist Frank Wilczek explains a remarkable new discovery: matter is built from almost weightless units, and pure energy is the ultimate source of mass. He calls it "The Lightness of Being." Space is no mere container, empty and passive. It is a dynamic Grid, modern ether, and its spontaneous activity creates and destroys particles.

This audiobook will provide all the information you need to build a safe shelter for you and your loved ones. Even if you don’t have a basement or other options, you will succeed in surviving and preparing for the worst.

La théorie quantique validée par l'expérience...La naissance mouvementée de la théorie quantique a marqué la première moitié du XXème siècle. Validée par l'expérience, elle est aujourd'hui une théorie universelle qui régit les phénomènes physiques aux différentes échelles... Révolutionne notre vision du monde.Ses aspects radicalement nouveaux défient le sens commun et nous obligent à reconsidérer les rapports de la matière avec l'espace et le temps.

You’ve got questions: about space, time, gravity, and your odds of meeting your older self inside a wormhole. All the answers you need are right here. As a species, we may not agree on much, but one thing brings us all together: a need to know. We all wonder, and deep down we all have the same big questions. Why can’t I travel back in time? Where did the universe come from? What’s inside a black hole? Can I rearrange the particles in my cat and turn it into a dog?

The biggest ideas in physics, broken down. Join theoretical physicist Dan Hooper and co-host Shalma Wegsman as they answer your questions about dark matter, black holes, quantum mechanics, and more. Part of The University of Chicago Podcast Network.

THE RED PILL PODCASTIt's one thing reaching enlightenment sitting alone in a cave, meditating for 14 hours a day, but how do we achieve it within this fast passed, hectic modern world?Allow us to take you on an inner journey to learn just how we can live the life we know we were born to live.We will dissolve all the layers of separation and illusion, allowing you to connect back to your true inner/higher self.'I AM', are the most powerful words in existence. Whatever you put after I AM sets the tone for all your experiences in life.The way you view yourself is the same way others see you, and ...

As Carl Sagan did for astronomy and Brian Green did for cosmology, Walter Lewin takes listeners on a marvelous journey in For the Love of Physics, opening our eyes as never before to the amazing beauty and power with which physics can reveal the hidden workings of the world all around us. "I introduce people to their own world," writes Lewin, "the world they live in and are familiar with but don't approach like a physicist - yet."

Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). But after a half century of scanning the skies, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silence---eerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life.

Victorian era steam engines and particle physics may seem worlds apart, yet a new branch of science, quantum thermodynamics, reenvisions the scientific underpinnings of the Industrial Revolution through the lens of today's roaring quantum information revolution. In her exciting new book, Harvard physicist Dr. Nicole Yunger Halpern introduces these concepts with what she calls "quantum steampunk," after the fantastical genre. Quantum Steampunk explores the field's aesthetic, shares its whimsy, and gazes into the potential of a quantum future.

From one of the world’s leading data scientists, a landmark tour ofthe new science of idea flow, offering revolutionary insights into the mysteries of collective intelligence and social influence.

The only child of Holocaust survivors who fled to Australia in 1950, Kruszelnicki has always forged his own destiny in an idiosyncratic way. Before he became one of the world's favourite scientific storytellers, he ambled through a convoluted cacophony of a career. In this long-awaited autobiography, you will learn that it's okay not to have a linear path through life, and that by following our curiosities and our passions, we can bend the universe to our liking.

Four more series of Brian Cox and Robin Ince’s multi award-winning science/comedy show - including the 100th episode and 'The Infinite Moonkey Cage', a special hour-long episode celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo moon landings. One of BBC Radio 4’s most popular programmes, The Infinite Monkey Cage sees Physicists Robin Ince and Brian Cox taking a witty, irreverent look at the world through Scientists’ eyes.

After being an atheist for a long time, the author was persuaded to change his mind by science. He is now an atheist author, journalist, and professor at Harvard. Despite his atheism in the past, he today holds the belief that religion is the ultimate power due to its centrality to science and its invulnerability to natural disasters.

On July 14, 2015, something amazing happened. More than three billion miles from Earth, a small NASA spacecraft called New Horizons screamed past Pluto at more than 32,000 miles per hour, focusing its instruments on the long-mysterious icy worlds of the Pluto system, and then, just as quickly, continued on its journey out into the beyond.

Guido Tonelli nous plonge dans une véritable odyssée spatio-temporelle, remarquablement documentée et alimentée par les travaux des grands chercheurs à l’origine des avancées majeures en physique théorique.

Astronomers have recently discovered thousands of planets that orbit stars throughout the Milky Way. Much of what has captured the imagination of planetary scientists and the public is the unexpected strangeness of these distant worlds. The quest to find other worlds brims with possibility, and Donald Goldsmith presents the science of exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life in a way that even Earthlings with little to no background in astronomy or astrophysics can understand and enjoy.

The great mystery story.

Join me as I learn about the world of Astrophysics. My name is Vikram Bhamre and I am 18 years old. On my podcast, Exploring Astrophysics, I chat with some of the most incredible astrophysicists around the world on the most interesting questions left unanswered in astrophysics. What's amazing is how helpful and forthcoming they all are and I hope you too are inspired when you listen to them.
