You are inside the universe you are trying to understand. This single fact — so obvious it barely seems worth stating — has consequences that reach from quantum physics to the structure of your own mind. In this audiobook, Boris Kriger shows that being inside changes everything. Drawing on a monograph that proves its claims with mathematical rigour, but written entirely in words and metaphors for the non-specialist listener, The Right to Be Wrong establishes three results that overturn common assumptions about knowledge, science, and consciousness.

Viviamo in un mondo imprevedibile, pieno di contraddizioni, e navigare in questa complessità mentre cerchiamo di prendere le decisioni migliori è tutt'altro che facile. Con Le gioie della scienza, Al-Khalili ci regala otto brevi lezioni che ci avvicinano alla chiarezza, al potere e alla gioia di pensare e vivere un po' più scientificamente. È un libro che infonde fiducia e ci invita a guardare il mondo come lo vedono gli scienziati.

Across centuries, humanity has not abandoned wonder but translated it, replacing incantations with equations and rituals with methods, without dissolving the astonishment that once animated myth and faith. What appears today as advanced science often occupies the same psychological and cultural space once reserved for miracles.

If you don't already know about Tangram puzzles, you will learn something brand new!

What if your immune system, your cognitive biases, your society’s institutions, and the orbital mechanics of binary stars all obey the same structural rules—not by analogy, but by necessity? Most scientists climb partway up the tree of abstraction and come back with a result. Most philosophers climb to the top and never come down. This book describes what happens when someone completes the full journey: all the way up to the limit of formal generalisation, a clear look at the structural landscape, and all the way back down with a map.

Chaos becoming cosmos - we are participants and recipients in its meaning and marvels. ''Human beings and our ancestors have been meaning seekers and meaning makers even before our most ancient beginnings. And at the start of that search are these questions: Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is the world comprehensible at all? Where did we come from? Do we belong?''-from the Introduction.

Something has gone wrong with the world—and deep down, we all feel it. Science describes how the universe works, but it cannot explain why it was made or what it was meant to be. From the first words of Genesis to the mysteries of modern physics, this audiobook uncovers the hidden order behind existence—a design that has been forgotten, distorted, and denied.

This book challenges one of the most persistent illusions of modern thought: the belief that evidence alone decides which theories are true. Across science, philosophy, and public debate, theories are often judged by popularity, elegance, authority, or the sheer volume of supporting data. Yet disagreement persists even where facts are shared. The reason, Boris Kriger argues, lies deeper than evidence itself. Every theory rests on an underlying structure that determines what counts as an explanation, what is allowed, and what is silently ruled out.

Most people who survive a catastrophic collapse of the body come back with a story about resilience, medical heroism, or gratitude for a second chance. Barry Fortner came back with something else: a realisation that the entire structure of knowing he had built his life upon—career, identity, intellect, faith, expertise—rested on foundations far more fragile than he had ever imagined. There are many books about illness. There are many philosophy books. Profound Ignorance is neither and both.

What is time, really—and why does it seem to flow? In this short essay, Stephen Wolfram explores time not as a coordinate or backdrop but as something generated by the ongoing computation of the universe itself. Drawing on ideas from his Physics Project, he explains how the passage of time—our experience of one moment giving way to the next—arises from the limits of what observers like us can compute. We can't see the future all at once; we have to compute it step by step.

A ciência, cada vez mais, tem questionado e refutado o senso comum e as crenças que a humanidade vem acumulando ao longo das gerações. Diante desse conflito entre as experiências subjetivas e as evidências científicas, é comum indagar: afinal, o que é ciência? Como ela funciona? Para que serve? O que diferencia ciência de pseudociência? Como a ciência é impactada pelas fake news e pela desinformação?

Brought to you by Penguin Our world is full of patterns. If you pour milk into your tea and give it a stir, you'll see a swirl, a spiral of two fluids, before the two liquids mix completely. The same pattern is found elsewhere too. Look down on the Earth from space, and you'll find similar...

Women working in the sciences face obstacles at virtually every step along their career paths. From subtle slights to blatant biases, deep systemic problems block women from advancing or push them out of science and technology entirely. Women in Science Now examines solutions to this persistent gender gap, offering new perspectives on how to make science more equitable and inclusive for all.

World leaders have made a forceful statement that climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity in the twenty-first century. However, little progress has been made in implementing policies to address climate change. In Climate Uncertainty and Risk, eminent climate scientist Judith Curry shows how we can break this gridlock.
