Physics Cosmology

What is it that helps both scorpions and cyclists to survive? What do raw eggs and gyroscopes have in common? And why does it matter? In an age of string theory, fluid dynamics and biophysics, it can seem as if the science of our world is for only specialists and academics. Not so, insists Helen Czerski - and in this sparkling new audiobook she explores the patterns and connections that illustrate the grandest theories in the smallest everyday objects and experiences.

The fascinating science behind the eventual end to everything - from the individual to all existence. Although we may try to keep it tucked at the back of our minds, most of us are aware of our own mortality. But few among us know what science, with the help of insights yielded from groundbreaking new research, has to say about death on a larger scale. Enter astronomer Chris Impey, who chronicles the death of the whole shebang.

Mind Openers 2.0 is the second installment in a two-part set. It takes a fresh look at relativity, cosmology, and quantum theory by imagining a “sandbox universe”, in which space and time are treated as tangible and visualizable phenomena. In addition to providing an intuitive feel for the physics, the model makes a number of acutely unexpected predictions. The author is a geophysicist (MSc, fellow of geoscientists, Canada) and educator, who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

The Threads and Luxidoni Universe: A New Theory of Cosmic Growth and Structure Revolutionizing Cosmology with a Universe That Grows, Not Expands—Now with Mathematical Formulas and Comparison Charts For decades, scientists have debated the origins and structure of the universe. The Big Bang Theory, while widely accepted, depends on untested assumptions like singularities, inflation, dark matter, and dark energy. But what if there were a more precise, testable explanation grounded in physical principles rather than speculation? In The Threads and Luxidoni Universe, a groundbreaking ...

Y si existiera una cuarta dimensión espacial que no pudiéramos percibir? ¿Y si el tiempo, que nos parece una realidad implacable, no fuera más que una ilusión de nuestra mente? ¿Y si nuestro universo fuera sólo uno de los muchos que integran un complejo multiverso inflacionario? Estas preguntas, que parecieran derivadas de un guion de ciencia ficción o propias de un temperamento esotérico, constituyen algunos de los planteamientos más rigurosos de la física moderna. Y son la fascinante materia de este libro.

The product of research around the globe and interviews with dozens of prominent scientists, God's Equation tells us it is almost as though Einstein were God's mouthpiece, revealing the most fundamental truths about our larger environment, truths scientists are just now confirming.

In this SF Short Story, Cosmologist Miranda inherits the quest to find the equation for everything. From two dead men. She knows she can solve it. She's afraid her predecessors did, too. She's scared enough to ask Walter, adrift since they split, to be there when she succeeds.

The galaxy, the multiverse, and the history of astronomy are explored in this engaging compilation of cosmological "tales" by multiple award-winning science writer Marcia Bartusiak. In 32 concise and engrossing essays, the author provides a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe and those who strive to uncover its mysteries. Bartusiak shares the back stories for many momentous astronomical discoveries, including the contributions of such pioneers as Beatrice Tinsley and her groundbreaking research in galactic evolution.

It has been a long time to reconcile quantum physics and general relativity. To date, no globally accepted theory has been proposed to explain all physical observations save for the theory herein presented. The current understanding of gravity is based on Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which incorporates his theory of special relativity and deeply modifies the understanding of concepts like time and space. Within GR, gravity has two possible interpretations: a field one and a geometric one. According to the latter, that has become the prevalent one, gravity is due to the ...

The Folding of the Cosmos A Structural Universe Built from Threadoni and Luxidoni — A New Physics Rooted in the Threads and Luxidoni Light TheoryNot a Bang. Not a Curve. Not a Fabric. A Thread That Folds Into Everything. Inventor and theorist Samir Hanna Safar introduces a bold new physics in this groundbreaking theory. The universe is not built from particles, fields, or spacetime fabric — but from Threadoni, the universe's foundational lines, and Luxidoni, rotating energy discs that ride them. These two elements arise: light, matter, gravity, memory, and the structure itself. - Light ...

Mind Openers 1.0 is the first of a two-part set. It chronicles how the astounding discoveries of modern physics have fundamentally changed our understanding of reality. Using a mix of historical narrative, intuitive analogies, and graphics, the book explores, explains, and ponders at meaning of our deepest theories. The author is a geophysicist and educator who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

Something strange is going on in the cosmos. Scientists are uncovering a catalogue of weird phenomena that simply can’t be explained by our long-established theories of the universe. Particles with unbelievable energies are bursting from beneath the Antarctic ice. Unknown forces seem to be tugging on the basic building blocks of matter. Stars are flying away from us far faster than anyone can explain. In Space Oddities, Harry Cliff provides a riveting look at the universe’s most confounding puzzles.

"I had this feeling that space was not empty but here we're - its building blocks" - Space time magazine What are the Ingredients of space? Is space physical? Is space Empty? -This book presents the building blocks of space. This thought experimental book is a good introduction to the ingredients of space and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1879. It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should expect that he/she will have to concentrate hard on ...

The science behind the debate raging in modern physics over the disconcerting and uncomfortable realization that just maybe there is, as astronomer Fred Hoyle put it, some sort of "superintellect that has monkeyed with the physics". Written with the non-scientist in mind, this exploration of the big bang, Schroedinger's cat, the chaos of 9/11, the complexity of the mimic octopus and the blister beetle, and the strong anthropic principle is accessible to anyone bright enough to be interested.

The marvelous complexity of the universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape, scale, and destiny. Where did these laws and these constants come from? And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematics? Author Peter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the universe with its laws and its constants. He explores the origin of the conservation of energy, of electromagnetism, of classical and quantum mechanics, and of thermodynamics, showing how all these laws spring from deep symmetries.

The Science and Philosophy of Information book series is adapted for general audience and based on the previously published grand volume titled “The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind’s Evolution” by digital philosopher Alex Vikoulov on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, the physics of time, philosophy of mind, digital physics, the technological Singularity, transhumanism, the impending phase transition of humanity, the simulation hypothesis, digital philosophy, foundations of quantum physics, extension to the original gaia hypothesis, economic theory, ...

Discover the Universe's Hidden Blueprint—A Radical New Theory of Light, Matter, and Cosmic Structure. Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory: The DNA of the Universe introduces a revolutionary scientific model that challenges the Big Bang, quantum paradoxes, and abstract physics. Instead, it presents a structured, mechanical explanation of how the universe works—from the birth of the first thread to the formation of galaxies and dense Black Cores. In this mind-opening journey, you will explore how continuous threads and spinning units of energy—Luxidoni—form the building blocks of light,...

In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them, leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics. These include Graham's number, which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way, your head would collapse into a singularity; TREE(3), whose finite value could never be reached before the universe reset itself; and 10^{-120}, which measures the desperately unlikely balance of energy the universe needs to exist....

Everywhere light goes, It has found that darkness is already there. Darkness is the natural state of the universe. For a star to be born, it takes an astounding number of possibilities to become a reality. From this unlikely alignment, we now have trillions of stars! Thankfully stars would progress to give us light, life, and an observable universe. No one knows how many stars exist, but we will tour a handful of the most famous in our known universe. Sit back and enjoy the world of outer space that spreads before you. Each constellation and luminary has a story that you won’t want to miss!
