A mother kisses her child's scraped knee. A father embraces his long-lost son. A dog greets its owner with desperate joy. Every culture, every species, every corner of the living world engages in these intimate acts of connection. We've been told these are merely displays of affection. But what if there’s something more? WHAT IF A KISS IS MORE THAN JUST A KISS? For the first time in human history, we are starting to see the hidden force that builds life through connection—not because we discovered something new, but because we have broken something ancient.

Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.

Discover the untold drama behind every block of the periodic table in Elementals: The Periodic Table by JD Arden. From the explosive curiosity of alkali metals to the noble silence of neon, Arden takes you on a journey through the essential elements that shape our world—and ourselves. With wit and sharp philosophical insight, each chapter reveals not just the science, but the hidden stories, metaphors, and meanings that these ancient building blocks carry. Whether you’re a science lover, a thoughtful skeptic, or simply curious about the hidden order of things, this book will change the ...

C'è chi si indispettisce, c'è chi si esalta e c'è invece chi si rende conto, come il giovane Heisenberg durante la sua tormentata convalescenza a Helgoland, che probabilmente il traguardo è proprio questo: smettere di ascoltare il mondo come lo si è ascoltato fino a quel momento e avventurarsi verso una forma di comprensione assolutamente nuova. Per quanto terrore possa, a tratti, ispirare. È la via che ha preferito Benjamín Labatut, ricostruendo alcune scene che hanno deciso la nascita della scienza moderna.

What if the secrets of existence were hiding in plain sight—in shapes, spirals, and symmetry? 'Sacred Geometry: The Blueprint of Everything' is a journey through the invisible code behind the visible world. This book isn’t just about lines and patterns—it’s about unlocking the structures that build reality itself. From the infinite loop of the circle to the silent elegance of the Platonic Solids, JJ walks you through the visual grammar of creation.

Alcune storie sono troppo assurde per non essere raccontate, come l'epico scontro Alessandro Volta VS Luigi Galvani, tra rane morte ed energia elettrica che ha ispirato la nascita del mostro di Frankenstein. O ancora Stephen Hawking e quella sua fissa per i buchi neri, Margherita Hack che pedalava verso l'osservatorio tra le bombe della seconda guerra mondiale, Richard Feynman che scassinava casseforti durante il progetto Manhattan, Lord Kelvin il barone della morte termica dell'Universo, Enrico Fermi che ha scisso l'atomo e dato il via all'era nucleare.

Power Unleashed: The Story of Nuclear Energy From Atom-Splitting to Clean Energy Futures Nuclear energy is powerful, controversial—and often misunderstood. In Power Unleashed, science and history come together in an engaging, highly readable journey through one of the most important technologies of the modern world. From the first experiments that cracked the atom to the heated debates about today’s energy future, this book explains what nuclear energy is, how it works, where it came from—and where it might take us. Written for curious readers with no scientific background, this ...

The first mission to the Moon after the disastrous events of Apollo 13. The return to spaceflight for the first American in space. A career-ending bout with a pilot’s worst nightmare, uncontrollable dizzy spells. An unsanctioned science experiment to test if human extrasensory perception could reach to the Moon and back. An often rehearsed space docking that succeeded every time except when it mattered the most. When the astronauts blinked their eyes, floating lights accompanied them as silent escorts. An often rehearsed lunar landing seemed impossible if radar could not tell them what ...
