In Grace in All Simplicity, listeners will delight in Cahn and Quigg's engaging prose and see how the infinite and the infinitesimal are joined. Today, physicists and astronomers are exploring distances from a billionth of a billionth of the human scale to the entire cosmos, and contemplating...

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.

As the climate emergency worsens and biodiversity shrinks, we somehow get used to it. We struggle to remember what summers were like before the unrelenting heat, in those years before wildfires became an annual routine. We adapt, we normalize. Scientists call this "shifting baseline syndrome,"...

A radical new vision of reality from one of the great minds of our time, mapping a watershed moment in both physics and philosophy. We are living in an age of scientific advancement on par with that of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton: a period of discovery that has so fundamentally...

Book twelve of fifteen for the entire set of SIC ITUR AD ASTRA (This is the Way to the Stars). Entitled V-50X: Surface the Giant!, this book is the transcript of the three-session extension of course V-50 delivered by Professor Galambos in 1976 upon realizing, “The extension to the course is necessitated by it becoming increasingly apparent that there was a problem in the course [V-50], in that there was not an adequate discussion of the second postulate of volitional science.”

While we have come a long way toward deciphering the laws of the universe, many physicists still regard time to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries. On Time provides answers to the questions about time that philosophers and scientists have been asking for millennia, such as whether it has a beginning and an end, why it only points toward the future and not the past, whether it can be stretched and squeezed or even reversed, and whether it is even real.

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.

With watchful eyes, this book invites a deeper look at nature's sights. From spider webs shining with dew in the light, to turtles returning to a pond or brook.

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.

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?
