In "Icarus; or, The Future of Science," Bertrand Russell explores the potential consequences of scientific advancement, drawing parallels between the myth of Icarus and the development of technology. He argues that while science can lead to progress, it also poses risks, particularly regarding power and societal structures. Russell suggests that scientific advancements, especially in the physical sciences, can increase power, lead to industrialism and war, and necessitate large-scale organization, which could potentially be used for oppressive purposes.

When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath. That one small step forever changed our view of what was possible, sparking a dramatic expansion of humankind's cosmic awareness. When we gain a new perspective, a transformation begins, profoundly altering the understanding of the world our human experience had previously granted us.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK—including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A.C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist—The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another.

Threatened by a global pandemic and by climate change, very many people fear we are facing an existential crisis. The Future of Humankind shows why these fears are unfounded and why we should be optimistic about our long-term future. It evaluates current major predictions for our future in three categories: (1) Extinction by natural disasters (including pandemics), by nuclear war or accident, by artificial intelligence, or by population explosion and climate change. (2) Survival by colonizing space or by extending individual healthspans and achieving immortality. (3) Transformation by ...

What if everything you know about time is incomplete?

Fun, funny, blasphemous, easy to understand but hard to refute: GOD DOES NOT EXIST BUT, IF HE DOES, HE’S NOT GOOD, AND ANYWAY, A GOOD GOD WOULD NOT WRITE YOUR BIBLE OR ENDORSE YOUR RELIGION is a comprehensive look at all the ways in which it is possible to deny the existence of God, and what it means for someone to say that they're an atheist.

Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world, offering a framework so expansive and precise that it underpins nearly every piece of modern technology. Yet, at the same time, it’s one of the hardest subjects to grasp. In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a leading scientist and a literary mind unite to explain the revolutionary discoveries and astounding phenomena at the heart of quantum physics. From the greenness of grass to the solidity of matter, they unravel why the universe behaves in the peculiar ways it does and why it's so important.

What began as a utopian environment, where mice had sumptuous accommodations, had all the food and water they could want, and were free from disease and predators, turned into a mouse hell. Science writer and animal behaviorist Lee Alan Dugatkin introduces listeners to the work of rodent researcher John Bumpass Calhoun. Dugatkin shows how an ecologist-turned-psychologist-turned-futurist became a science rock star embedded in the culture of the 1960s and 1970s.

Letters to a German Princess: Philosophy and Theology This selected edition of Leonhard Euler's "Letters to a German Princess," written between 1760 and 1762, focuses on letters 76 to 132. In these letters, Euler delves into philosophical and theological issues with exceptional clarity. Euler examines Leibniz-Wolff's doctrine of monads, debates the nature of forces, and reflects on the relationship between soul and body. He also addresses theological themes such as rational freedom, the problem of evil, and the nature of sensory perception. This selection provides an in-depth view of ...

Second Edition The purpose of this short book is to provide in one place a systematic, clear description and discussion of the Scientific Method for the general public, students, teachers, and scientists. The style is informal. It is not about any particular field of science. Instead it discusses how science is done and why it is successful. A convenient outline of the Scientific Method, "The Scientific Method in a Nutshell", is provided and each step is discussed in the book chapters. Easily understood examples from the history of science are used to illustrate each step. The modern ...

Lenses, Light, and the Infinite Night traces the sweeping, often surprising history of this revolutionary instrument—from the dim candlelit workshops of the Renaissance to the golden mirrors of James Webb and the continent-spanning radio eyes that captured a black hole. Told with rich detail and poetic clarity, ...

Imagine if Bill Nye the Science Guy and Monty Python teamed up to host a TED Talk... while drunk... at a theology convention... in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Then you'd land smack in the middle of this loony book: "Crossing the God Line, What Frankenstein Knew that Darwin Didn't." This book doesn't ask "Where did we come from?" so much as it kicks that question in the shins and shouts, "Are you sure about that, Darwin?" Armed with equal parts curiosity, sarcasm, and a suspicious amount of caffeine, the author drags readers on a whirlwind safari through human development, evolution, ...

AI-Animal Language Hypothesis This thesis proposes that artificial intelligence will become the essential bridge between humans and animals, enabling two-way communication through advanced language modeling, data analysis, and AI interfaces. The hypothesis suggests that this AI-facilitated communication will usher in an Interspecies Symbiosis Era, where AI acts as the intermediary for human-animal collaboration, empathy, and societal integration. It further explores how this breakthrough offers empirical parallels to the concept of Intelligent Design Symbiosis, where intelligence ...
