La realidad tal y como la percibimos está conformada, desde el punto de vista de la física cuántica, por una red compleja mejor conocida como lattice, pero para Jacobo Grinberg esta es resultado, a su vez, de la percepción y la actividad neuronal de cada individuo. En este libro, resultado de 15 años de investigación, el doctor Grinberg responde a estas y otras interrogantes, explora más allá de los límites del cerebro humano y propone un nuevo paradigma para la ciencia que se antoja tan fascinante como revolucionario.

En El universo en una caja, el profesor de cosmología Andrew Pontzen, explica de una manera clara y rigurosa qué son las simulaciones, esos códigos informáticos con los que los científicos han podido recrear el universo y profundizar en su historia, poniendo a prueba por primera vez ideas centenarias. Esta suerte de manual fundamental para amantes de la astronomía, que aún está desplegando sus capacidades, replantea lo que creemos saber sobre los agujeros negros o la materia cósmica para arrojar nuevas luces sobre nuestra realidad.

If you are looking to start developing your data self-defense and critical news consumption skills, this book is for you! It reflects a long-term collaboration between a statistician and a journalist to shed light on the statistics behind the stories and the stories behind the statistics. The only prerequisite for enjoying this book is an interest in developing the skills and insights for better understanding news stories that incorporate quantitative information.

In order to provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the information presented in this book, it is important to include a section dedicated to references. The following references have been used to compile the information about the mysterious alien planet, Proxima B. One of the primary sources for information on Proxima B is the groundbreaking research conducted by the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

This book is not for those with weak stomachs or who may be squeamish. If you are prone to nightmares, give this book a miss. The author describes horrific motorcycle crashes, near death situations with helicopters and some cameo descriptions of life in a Game Reserve including the humorous day of the Mpundu, when drunk monkeys fall out of a tree. This is better than the first part and will hold your attention to the last tragic chapter, laugh with the author, cry with him and feel what he felt.

As the world faces increasing energy challenges and environmental concerns, harnessing the power of the sun presents a sustainable solution that empowers individuals to live independently and responsibly. We will begin by unraveling the mysteries of solar energy, exploring its origins, mechanisms, and the remarkable potential it holds as a renewable resource. Understanding the fundamentals of solar energy is crucial for grasping its applications and benefits.

A unified theory of human living, the concept of Quanology represents the next evolutionary step in achieving what humans would consider "the good life." And while it's currently popular to view nature and technology as two fundamentally opposed concepts, Quanology approaches each as complementary to the other.

In the summer of 2024, a cacophony unlike any other will fill the air in many parts of the United States. Cicadas, those enigmatic insects known for their distinctive buzzing sound and periodic emergence, are set to make their grand appearance.

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.

Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to sharing physics with a broad audience, one that goes beyond analogies to show how physicists really think. He cuts to the bare mathematical essence of our most profound theories, explaining every step in a uniquely accessible way. Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world is really made of fields.

Upon its first English publication in 1959, Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery revolutionized thinking about the scientific method. Largely an exploration of the demarcation problem, or what distinguishes science from non-science, Popper introduced and defended his concept of falsifability -- that scientific systems are ones open to empirical disconfirmation -- against the prevailing views of his day.

In Stuck Monkey, James Hamilton-Paterson uncovers the truth behind the everyday habits fuelling the climate crisis. Drawing on eye-opening research and shocking statistics, he mercilessly dissects a wide spectrum of modern life: pets, gardening, sports, vehicles, fashion, wellness, holidays, and more. Ferociously unflinching and intelligent, this book will make you think twice about the ‘innocent’ habits we often take for granted.

You will find a bothy in the mountains or the wilderness, remote huts you can’t reserve, usually without electricity or other mod-cons, running water or a marker on the map. And it’s there that you’ll meet Kat Hill – kettle on, feet up and pen out. Leading us on a gorgeous journey around the UK, Kat reveals the history of these wild mountain shelters and the people who visit them. With an historian’s insight and a rambler’s imagination, Kat lends fresh consideration to the concepts of nature, wilderness and escape.

This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton gives a sweeping account of male nurturing, explaining how and why men are biologically transformed when they care for babies.

Salvage divers work underwater in a blinding darkness. In their cumbersome diving gear, these men have barely enough room to move around, while at the same time fighting the cold temperatures and fast currents. It is a dirty, unromantic, and highly dangerous way of earning a living.

"Se si sta dentro un bosco in posizione di ascolto, prima o poi si avverte, si intuisce la presenza di un flusso di energia che circola tra i rami, le foglie, le radici. Talvolta è un sussurro, altre volte strepiti e grida. È come se le piante parlassero tra loro." Camminatore infaticabile e sensibilissimo osservatore della natura, Daniele Zovi, negli anni, questi suoni ha imparato ad ascoltarli e interpretarli.

Have you ever looked at your dog and had half a dozen questions flit through your brain? Dogs have a history as long as humans do and in all that time, they have undergone more changes than a person might expect. From hunting to companionship, these animals have worked alongside people for centuries.

Each animal on the planet owes its existence to one very simple but crucial piece of evolutionary engineering: the egg. It's time to tell a new story of life on Earth.

What if we were less reliant on our cars? What if there were safe cycling paths to take us places instead? What if those paths led to the next town, the next village and the countryside beyond? This was the dream of a group of Bristolian idealists in the 1970s when they founded Britain’s National Cycle Network, which now runs to nearly 13,000 miles across the country. Journalist Laura Laker sets off on an odyssey around the UK to see where the NCN began, and where it is now.

On July 4, 1999, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a bizarre confluence of meteorological events resulted in the most damaging blowdown in the region's history.
