“With wit and brio, Frank separates current nonsense about aliens from the serious and fascinating search for extraterrestrial life.” —Carlo Rovelli, New York Times bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics From astrophysicist Adam Frank, a little book on the biggest questions...

Realtà sperimentali che sembrano sfuggire a ogni legge, ricerche che portano a scoperte che sorprendono lo stesso ricercatore, il lampeggiare dell'intuizione fisica e matematica: è il mondo indagato da più di cinquant’anni da Giorgio Parisi, vincitore nel 2021 del premio Nobel. Dall'ingresso, nel 1966, all’istituto di Fisica di Roma (dal retro, perché gli studenti dei primi due anni non potevano passare dalla porta principale) al Nobel sfiorato già all'età di venticinque anni, dagli studi pionieristici sulle particelle all’interesse per fenomeni enigmatici come le trasformazioni di stato.

How holographic patterns of information underlie our physical reality 2017 Nautilus Silver Award Includes myriad evidence from a wide range of cutting-edge scientific discoveries showing our Universe is an interconnected hologram of information Explains how consciousness is a major...

The ABC of Relativity is still considered today, nearly 90 years after its first appearance, as an authoritative and accessible introduction to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. While there's nothing particularly easy about understanding the Theory of Relativity, many have found that Russell's explanation is easier to understand than Einstein's own writings on the topic. Russell covers topics such as time dilation and curved space-time, using non-scientific examples of train travel and aerial views of the terrain.

"This engaging, conversational book begs to be read aloud, and who better than its author?... Tyson’s warmth and erudition make him a superb narrator of this excellent, thought-provoking book."- Library Journal "Like a spaceship traveling the stars, Tyson's voice flows smoothly as he delivers...

A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists...

FROM ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS OF OUR TIME COMES A BOOK THAT CLARIFIES HIS MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS Stephen Hawking’s worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time remains a landmark volume in scientific writing. But for readers who have asked for a more accessible formulation of its key...

Can there be freedom and free will in a deterministic world? Renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett emphatically answers "yes!" Using an array of provocative formulations, Dennett sets out to show how we alone among the animals have evolved minds that give us free will and morality. Weaving a richly detailed narrative, Dennett explains in a series of strikingly original arguments - drawing upon evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy - that far from being an enemy of traditional explorations of freedom, morality, and meaning, the evolutionary perspective can be an indispensable ally.

A fascinating exploration of the science of the impossible—from death rays and force fields to invisibility cloaks—revealing to what extent such technologies might be achievable decades or millennia into the future. One hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions...

Per tutta la vita, Stephen Hawking si è dedicato a indagare il mondo attraverso la lente della fisica, maneggiando concetti complicatissimi in bilico tra scienza e filosofia: dalla natura dei buchi neri all'origine del tempo, fino alla ricerca di un senso per la nostra esperienza su questo sperduto pianeta, ai confini di una remota galassia sospesa nell'impressionante vastità del cosmo.

En el momento de su muerte, Stephen Hawking estaba trabajando en un proyecto final: un libro que compilaba sus respuestas a las "grandes" preguntas que a menudo se le planteaban: preguntas que iban más allá del campo académico. En este audiolibro, ofrece su punto de vista personal sobre nuestros mayores desafíos como raza humana, y hacia dónde, como planeta, nos dirigimos después.

Quantum theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton. This book gives a lucid, exciting, and accessible account of the surprising and counterintuitive ideas that shape our understanding of the sub-atomic world. It does not disguise the problems of interpretation that still remain unsettled 75 years after the initial discoveries. Uncertainty, probabilistic physics, complementarity, the problematic character of measurement, and decoherence are among the many topics discussed.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg’s role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.

Why is red meat red? How do they decaffeinate coffee? Do you wish you understood the science of food but don't want to plow through dry, technical books? In What Einstein Told His Cook, University of Pittsburgh chemistry professor emeritus and award-winning Washington Post food columnist Robert L. Wolke provides reliable and witty explanations for your most burning food questions, while debunking misconceptions and helping you interpret confusing advertising and labeling.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology.

This podcast discusses the history of scientific thought and tells stories about the greatest scientific discoveries and the scientists who made them. There may also be an inordinate amount of Xennial-related references thrown in along the way. Episodes will be released every two weeks on Fridays! Thanks for listening.

What if every choice you’ve ever made—and every choice you *could* make—exists in a vast multiverse of infinite realities? *Quantum Jumping: Unlocking Infinite Realities* is a groundbreaking exploration of how to consciously shift your awareness into alternate versions of yourself, tapping into limitless possibilities for growth, success, and transformation.

What if reality is not a branching forest of infinite timelines, but a single, irreplaceable world whose value becomes clearer the moment we strip away seductive myths? This book confronts one of the most persistent modern fantasies—the idea of parallel universes—by examining it through science, philosophy, and the psychology of human perception. It exposes how easily speculative models slip into pseudoscience, how cultural repetition creates the illusion of credibility, and how misused scientific language blurs the boundary between rigorous inquiry and imaginative fiction.

The Voyager Space Missions: From the Grand Tour to Interstellar Space is the definitive story of humanity’s most daring leap into the unknown. When NASA launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977, the world had never seen the outer planets up close, and interstellar space was only a theory. What began as an ambitious plan to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment soon became one of the greatest scientific adventures in history.

في كتاب الحداثة والسياسة لأحمد المسلماني: يجيب كتاب "الحداثة والسياسة" عن سؤال: كيف يفكر العالم؟ .. كيف كان يفكر في العقود الأخيرة؟ وكيف يفكر الآن؟ وكيف يفكر بشأن المستقبل؟ هذا كتاب فكري موسوعي.. تمتد قضاياه من السياسة إلى الفلسفة، ومن التاريخ إلى الفيزياء، ومن العلم إلى القوة. إن الثراء الكبير الذي يتمتع به هذا الكتاب، والأسلوب السهل الممتنع الذي يتسم به مؤلفه.. يجعله أحد أكثر الكتب توعيةً وتثقيفًا، ثم إنه من أكثرها متعةً وتشويقًا.
