Time Cosmology

Space is the biggest, oldest, hottest, coldest, strangest thing a human can study. It's no surprise then, that the weirdest facts in science (not to mention the weirdest scientists themselves) are found in astrophysics and cosmology. If you're looking for instructions on how to set up your grandad's telescope this book probably isn't for you. In Astronomical, Tim James takes us on a tour of the known (and unknown) Universe, focusing on the most-mind boggling stuff we've come across, as well as unpacking the latest theories about what's really going on out there.

Are you ready to embark on a journey through the cosmos, exploring the depths of space and the mysteries of the universe? In "Reaching for the Stars: Exploring the Wonders of the Universe," you'll join a fascinating exploration of everything from our own solar system to the farthest reaches of extragalactic space. Starting with an introduction to our enduring fascination with the unknown, this book takes you through a historical overview of the space race, before delving into the study of the universe itself. From there, you'll be whisked away on a tour of our solar system, learning about ...

Today, across the universe, at the heart of every galaxy, and dotted throughout, mature black holes are creating chaos. And in a quiet part of the universe, the Swift satellite has picked up evidence of a gruesome death caused by one of these dark powers. High-energy X-ray flares shooting out from deep within the Draco constellation are thought to be the dying cries of a white dwarf star being ripped apart by the intense tides of a supermassive black hole—heating it to millions of degrees as it is shredded at the event horizon.

One of the biggest questions Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. But his famous theory on the Big Bang ran into a crisis when the equations predicted a multiverse - countless different universes, most of which were too bizarre to support life. Holed away in the physics department at Cambridge, Stephen Hawking and his collaborator Thomas Hertog worked for twenty years on a new theory of the cosmos.

This is an indispensable guide to physics that offers readers an overview of the most popular physics topics written in an accessible, irreverent, and engaging manner while still maintaining a tone of wry skepticism. Even the novice will be able to follow along, as the topics are addressed using plain English and (almost) no equations. Veterans of popular physics will also find their nagging questions addressed, like whether the universe can expand faster than light.

Stephen Hawking's worldwide best seller, A Brief History of Time, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe.

Written in simple and accessible language, this nontechnical introduction to cosmology, or the creation and development of the universe, explains the discipline, covers its history, details the latest developments, and explains what is known, what is believed, and what is purely speculative. In addition, the author discusses the development of the Big Bang theory, and more speculative modern issues like quantum cosmology, superstrings, and dark matter.

In this vibrant, eye-opening tour of milestones in the history of our universe, Chris Impey guides us through space and time, leading us from the familiar sights of the night sky to the dazzlingly strange aftermath of the Big Bang. What if we could look into space and see not only our place in the universe but also how we came to be here? As it happens, we can. Because it takes time for light to travel, we see more and more distant regions of the universe as they were in the successively greater past.

The universe should be fun, and you’re about to discover an audiobook that understands that, weaving humor and wit into every minute so that you not only understand what you’re listening to, but enjoy the whole process.

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 ...

Embark on a thrilling journey through the cutting edge of theoretical physics and cosmology in this captivating work. From the mind-bending realms of M Theory to the tantalizing possibilities of parallel universes and the enigmatic mysteries of time travel, each topic is explored with depth and clarity. Delve into the intricate tapestry of String Theory, unravel the secrets of extra dimensions, and ponder the existence of multiple universes beyond our own. Join the exploration of cryogenics, where science fiction meets reality in the quest for immortality. With thought-provoking questions ...

In Newton’s view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But Newton's view of gravity didn't work for some things, like Mercury’s peculiar orbit around the sun. The orbits of planets shift over time, and Mercury’s orbit shifted faster than Newton predicted. Einstein’s idea was that gravity is not a force, but it is really an effect caused by the curvature of space and ...

It's about time you learned the truth about this planet—it's broken beyond repair. This little book could potentially create a big ripple in the world of geology and geophysics. It started with a little vision from God, given to the author while he was in his garage. You won't find another book that discusses the world like this.

كان كتاب ستيفن هوكنج "موجز تاريخ الزمن" الذي صدر في عام 1988م والذي حقق أفضل المبيعات، علامة مميزة في الكتابة العلمية. ويرجع السبب في ذلك إلى صوت المؤلف الواعد والموضوعات الملحة التي تناولها: طبيعة المكان والزمان. ودور الرب في الخلق، وتاريخ ومستقبل العالم. ومنذ أن نشر الكتاب دأب القراء مراراً على مخاطبة الأستاذ هوكنج وإخباره بالصعوبات التي يلقونها في فهم الموضوعات الأكثر أهمية في الكتاب.

O tempo não é um conceito abstrato. É uma substância material que ocupa todo o universo e se deforma, vibra, oscila. De Newton a Einstein, de Planck ao relógio cósmico, foi protagonista de metamorfoses vertiginosas, fascinantes e monstruosas. O tempo flui? Ou está parado? E como é medido? Como a gravidade o retarda? E como os buracos negros conseguem pará-lo? Sempre vivemos no tempo, que, no entanto, não é eterno.

Evolution and creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject creation out of hand - "It is not science or fact as evolution is," they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible.

Do we really understand what gravity is? Taouil continues where Einstein left off, expanding on the theory of general relativity in a ground-breaking new concept about gravity and what it really is. His ideas are profound, and the implications can change the world of physics. The audiobook is easy to hear, and gives a step-by-step historical background to the science behind his observations that is both powerful and fascinating.
