Space Universe

Wrongly discredited as a space pilot, Panglor Balef is doomed to die in space, if sheer luck doesn’t bring him through. But luck has never been in Panglor’s cards. Bad enough to be coerced into a mission of murder and suicide, he must also contend with Alo—a young woman, stowaway, and impossible companion. Neither of them, nor his empathic ou-ralot, could possibly anticipate the journey through space-time they are about to embark on, through a door to an insane reality from which there is almost certainly no return.

The universe is not predictable, no matter how much experience you gain. You may delude yourself into thinking so...until the universe educates you otherwise in dramatic fashion.

According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and life is an accident devoid of meaning. Thanks to a new understanding of evolution, as well as recent advances in our understanding of the phenomenon known as emergence, a new cosmic narrative is taking shape: Nature’s simplest “parts” come together to form ever-greater “wholes” in a process that has no end in sight. Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us.

¿Qué harías si despertaras en medio del fin del universo, con los ojos llenos de estrellas muertas y un arma ancestral latiendo en tus manos? Tras milenios de silencio, una nave alienígena perdida emerge del vacío profundo en un rincón olvidado de la galaxia Exodus. Dentro, duerme una muchacha sin nombre, ajena al horror cósmico que se agita bajo las estrellas. Sael, única superviviente de una era desconocida, es rescatada por el capitán Deckard y su androide de combate, sin saber que su existencia romperá los frágiles equilibrios entre imperios moribundos, corporaciones sin alma...

Human life is a staggeringly strange thing. On the surface of a ball of rock falling around a nuclear fireball in the blackness of a vacuum, the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars and wonder where it came from. What is a human being? Objectively, nothing of consequence. Particles of dust in an infinite arena, present for an instant in eternity.

The Gray Death Legion is in the employ of the Free Worlds League and has even been given a landhold on the planet Helm. But dark forces conspire against them, and the Legion soon finds themselves declared renegade war criminals, fair game for anyone to attack. Now, they are on the run on their home planet, trying desperately to reach safety before the might of House Marik falls upon them. They are about to discover the true motives of those who engineered their downfall. And what they discover will change the Inner Sphere forever....

Based on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, The Theory of Everything presents the most complex concepts of physics—both past and present—in a clear and accessible manner. Stephen Hawking enlightens readers and exposes them to the rich history of scientific thought and the complexities of the universe in which we live.

The Trouble with Physics argues that a limited notion of time is holding physics back. It's time for a major revolution in scientific thought. The reality of time could be the key to the next big breakthrough in theoretical physics. What if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they could evolve? Time Reborn offers a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities.

A physicist speeds across space, time, and everything in between showing that our elegant universe from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? Is it possible to build a shrink-ray gun? If there is antimatter, can there be antipeople? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Are time and space like a butterfly's wings? No one but Dave Goldberg, the coolest nerd physicist on the planet, could give a hyper-drive tour of the universe like this one.

The sequel to New York Times best sellers Avenger and The Return, Spectre is an unforgettable saga peopled by old friends and ancient enemies, that propels Kirk on a journey of self-discovery every bit as harrowing as the cataclysmic new adventure that awaits him. Written and read by William Shatner!

Terra. For centuries, it has been the Clans’ ultimate prize. As prophesied by their founder, Nicholas Kerensky, the Clan that conquers Terra shall ascend above all others to become the ilClan, ruler over the rest of the Clans.

One soldier. Armed. Dangerous. And Lost. It was the biggest raid in the history of Dynamic Operations. Cryne had trained his entire career for this. One second, he was en route to the enemy’s capital via an experimental transport system; the next, he was alone in an empty forest. Something was off. Way off. In need of answers and a way home, Cryne will have to rely on years of training and combat skills to get himself back to where he belongs. If that’s even possible….

Don't we often wake up contemplating on the previous day's experience, whether all details are real? What is the fundamental nature of reality? Let's see this in more detail in the book FUNDAMENTALS OF REALITY. Reality is the state of existence encompassing everything that is, has been, and will be. Understanding the fundamentals of reality involves delving into various fields of philosophy, physics, and metaphysics: Perception and Experience: Reality is often shaped by our perception and experience. Our senses provide information about the external world but can be limited and even ...
