Historia
Imagine a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong that nothing - not even light - can escape. This phenomenon is a black hole: one of the most exotic, mind-boggling, and profound subjects in astrophysics. Nearly everyone has heard of black holes, but few people outside of complex scientific fields understand their true nature and their implications for our universe. No movie, novel, or other fictional treatment of black holes matches Professor Filippenko’s absorbing presentation of the actual science behind these amazing objects.

Historia
The question of how falling cats land on their feet has intrigued humans since at least the middle of the 19th century. In this playful and eye-opening history, physicist, and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided crucial insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics, neuroscience, and human space exploration....

Historia
An invisible world of astonishing complexity is all around you. A world so small you can’t see it with the naked eye. A world so crowded that its population staggers the mind. A world in which you participate every day - often without even knowing it. The inhabitants of this world are trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms, collectively known as microbes. Hundreds of thousands could fit on the period at the end of this sentence. And many play a powerful role in your life.

I couldn't finish this it is so badly dumbed down it just becomes condesending. The narration is one of the worst I have listened to, including grade school film strips. it is rather insulting.

Historia
Atom Land brings the impossibly small world of particle physics to life, taking listeners on a guided journey through the subatomic world. Listeners will sail the subatomic seas in search of electron ports, boson continents, and hadron islands. The sea itself is the quantum field, complete with quantum waves. Beware dark energy and extra dimensions, embodied by fantastical sea creatures prowling the far edges of the known world. Your tour guide through this whimsical - and highly instructive - world is Jon Butterworth, leading physicist at CERN.

Historia
In this 24-lesson course aimed at non-scientists, noted particle physicist Dr. Don Lincoln of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory covers more than a century of progress in physics, describing exactly how scientists reach the conclusions they do. He starts with the atom, which was long hypothesized but wasn’t definitively proven until a paper by Albert Einstein in 1905. That was just the beginning, as researchers probed ever deeper into the atom’s complex structure, leading to the weird findings of quantum mechanics.

This is the strangest rendering of physics and science I ever came across. I can't be sure who is supposed to benefit from this type of presentation. it tries to be humorous at TBE expense of accurate and is summer own to nearly insulting to my middle school child. I' advise the listener to verify most of what was presented here.

Historia
Perhaps the greatest physicist of the second half of the 20th century, Richard Feynman changed the way we think about quantum mechanics, the most perplexing of all physical theories. Here Lawrence M. Krauss, himself a theoretical physicist and best-selling author, offers a unique scientific biography: a rollicking narrative coupled with clear and novel expositions of science at the limits.

As smartphones, supercomputers, supercolliders, and AI propel us into an ever more unfamiliar future, How to Speak Science takes us on a rollicking historical tour of the greatest discoveries and ideas that make today's cutting-edge technologies possible. Wanting everyone to be able to "speak" science, YouTube science guru Bruce Benamran explains - as accessibly and wittily as in his acclaimed videos - the fundamental ideas of the physical world: matter, life, the solar system, light, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, and much more.

Very enjoyable format and execution. There was actually more detailed information and details than I expected. The humor and presentation were interesting and the narrator nailed the tone .

Historia
By 100 years ago, it seemed clear that the speed of light was the fastest possible speed. Causality was safe. And then quantum mechanics happened, introducing spooky connections that seemed to circumvent the law of cause and effect. From Aristotle's Physics to quantum teleportation, learn about the scientific pursuit of instantaneous connections in this insightful examination of our world.

The PROBLEM is the Audible app update
Revisado: 03-31-20
The book and narrator are great. The lectures are engaging and provide detailed information that is presented in a format that is understandable by a person who isn't already a chemistry student, but will find enough knowledge to be comfortable, not intimidated by the subject in the future. I would have really liked to finish this course. I enjoyed it and felt I was learning.
HOWEVER, Audible updated their application without ant notice, explanation, or consent from me in the middle of part 1 of the course . The new application is impossible for my older kindle to remain the excellent resource I came to rely on. I have been using it for years. I bought a new kindle this year and really dislike the newer audible program intensely. It does not provide the level of personalization in listening and library management I have found useful. There are too many missing features and the little options on the app are very limited now. It has become so difficult to manage in suitable way I had to remove the title totally to free enough space to use my tablet for anything else. I am highly disappointed Amazon in for the shoddy way audible has has been cheapened.

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on the Higgs boson and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions. Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void?

Struggled to finish. I kept falling asleep, but the final chapter was good. The science And philisophy in the rest were too confusing for me to really get much from. It seemed weak.
