Space Universe

Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the universe begin, and how will it end? Is the future predetermined? These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book, which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a ‘best guess’ answer.

With the problem of the Vargemma being too powerful to dominate, or trust, Cal-com devises an ingenious testing mechanism to weed out those volunteers who are unworthy. A mechanism known as LITrpg.

In 2015, NASA's Kepler space observatory identified a planet, dubbed Kepler-452b, as having similar qualities to Earth - that is, potentially habitable. The downside, of course, was that it was 1400 light years from us. It would take another 14 years before science cracked the code, faster-than-light quantum propulsion, making it possible to cover such distances in a matter of years, not tens of centuries. However, mankind's propensity for war has also, by this time, pushed the world to the edge, where geopolitical powers are facing off in what will inevitably be the war to end all wars - ...

Former Captain of the Confederate Fleet, Terenze Milos is the hero of the Locusta-Vanga wars, said to have brought the galaxy back from the brink of extinction. Now he lives in obscurity, running a freight operation on the derelict ship Endeavor. When Captain Milos recognizes the unmistakable signs of deadly Locustan technology in a salvaged fighter craft - the Stryker - he sounds a warning. But the Confederacy isn't listening....

Zen'zat are now hunted across the galaxy due to the death mark placed upon them by the Zak'de'ron...but it doesn't just apply to the elite warriors. It is also laid upon the Ter'nat colonies that spawned them, and the V'kit'no'sat have little resources...or the will left to defend them.

Paul and Cal-com set off on their journey while the war against the Hadarak rages on.

Titan Valentino has been offered a job they can’t refuse. Tai, a gender-neutral courtesan, receives a scandalous proposition: seduce an actor’s virgin fiancée. The money is enough to pay off Tai’s crushing medical debt, a tantalizing prospect. Too bad Aisha Malik isn’t the easy target they expect. A standoffish historian who hates to be touched, she’s laser-focused on her career, and completely unaware that her marriage has been arranged behind her back. This could be the one instance where Tai’s charm and charisma fail them. Then an accidental heist throws them together as partners in crime.

At the two four-kilometre long LIGO observatories in the US, scientists developed incredibly sensitive detectors, capable of spotting a movement 100 times smaller than the nucleus of an atom. In 2015, they spotted the ripples produced by two black holes spiralling into each other, setting spacetime quivering. This was the first time black holes had ever been directly detected, and it promises far more for the future of astronomy. Brian Clegg presents a compelling story of human technical endeavour and a powerful new path to understand the workings of the universe.

Paul and Sara must find their way out of Gamma Temple, but they're not going to leave empty-handed.

A Journey Through the Universe is a grand tour of the most amazing celestial objects and how they fit together to build the cosmos. There's a whole universe out there.... Imagine you had a spacecraft capable of travelling through interstellar space. You climb in, blast into orbit, fly out of the solar system and keep going. Where do you end up, and what do you see along the way? The answer is: mostly nothing. Space is astonishingly, mind-blowingly empty.

A mysterious dragon has emerged from the galactic core to inform the V'kit'no'sat of the true nature of the Hadarak threat they face...and a great deal more.

Sierra Nevada, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and Bigelow Aerospace built prototypes of deep-space habitats that NASA began testing in March 2019. Therefore, physical evidence exists that human beings are committed to living in space for purposes of research and industrial pursuits such as mining. Now that companies are set to take both professional astronauts and well-trained passengers into space as early as summer of 2021, this book will prepare you to take your place - whether as an investor, owner, employee, or enthusiast - in the exciting world of space exploration.

Our world is full of unshakable mystery, and although we live in a civilization more complicated than ever, there is simplicity and reassurance to be found in knowing how and why. From the New York Times best-selling creator of Lost in Translation, Eating the Sun is a delicately existential, welcoming exploration of the universe - one that examines and marvels at the astonishing principles, laws, and phenomena that we exist alongside, that we sit within.

Over 100,000 years have passed with Star Force growing into a dominant position as rulers of the Rimward half of the galaxy, but lurking in the shadows are threats of old waiting for the right time to strike.

Look no further than The Solar System for Kids Six to Eight! This book is the perfect resource for children ages six to eight who are curious about the planets, stars, and other celestial bodies that make up our galaxy.

This book is the result of my 35 years of intense quest and research into the age-old question: Do we have free will? My search began when I was 17 and experiencing intense depression and suffering for unexplained reasons. This thirst for answers led me to study more than 50 enlightened masters, analyse the events and experiences in my own life, meet and engage in discussions with living enlightened saints and monks, and even delve into astrology and other occult sciences. This book is not written from theoretical or hypothetical ideas. It is based on my personal experiences with life, as ...

When their friends are kidnapped, Sevan and Nadio find themselves marooned on the tourist Planet of Pallene. Their predicament gets worse when Republic troops transport them to a prison planet from which no-one has ever escaped. But escape is exactly what Sevan must do if he is to save the life of his friend, Nadio. End of the Universe is the third novel in the light-hearted space opera series, Mastery of the Stars.

The Aax'ods, a race of immortal, omnipotent aliens who have been pulling the strings from behind the scenes for eons, have decided to crawl out of the shadows and rule the galaxy.

Adam Cain—the alien with an attitude—is super-Human, everyone's hero, the go-to guy when the galaxy needs saving. Adam and his team are on a desperate rescue mission in another universe, yet one that promises wealth beyond their imagination. At least that's what they've been told. It seems straightforward enough—and the money is good! And now dangerous forces are aligned against them, as everyone wants to get into the act. However, everything is not as it seems. Maybe Adam should have asked a few more questions before taking on the assignment . . .

A SIMPLE TALE OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLE METAPHYSICS In the summer of 2008, a long awaited scientific experiment was started at the CERN particle accelerator near Geneva. The experiment involved the high-speed collision of subatomic particles and the objective was to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, more commonly known as 'The God Particle'. To the great disappointment of the worldwide scientific community and the relief of many people who were concerned that this experiment might trigger a reaction that would destroy our planet, a technical hitch caused the experiment to be abandoned at ...
