This audio edition is narrated with dazzling enthusiasm by the author, Dr Becky Smethurst. Right now, you are orbiting a black hole. The Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the centre of the Milky Way: a supermassive black hole, the strangest and most misunderstood phenomenon in the galaxy...

You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it. It is the story of how something evolved from nothing, and how something became everything. It is the story of science: the greatest story ever told. Here, for the first time in a single span, is the life of the...

Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of bestsellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inwards for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution. My Brief History recounts...

A complete guide to the universe. Take a look through the lens and discover the beauty and science of the magnificent world that is our night sky - and beyond. From the 150km- (93 mile-) -wide impact craters on the Moon to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a swirling storm that started in the 1600s...

Imagine if The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were a real, practical book about the mysteries of the universe . . . The Universe in Your Hand takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant black...

Read by the author, Harry Cliff. 'As fascinating as its title suggests . . . Cliff recounts with vivid clarity the stories of some of the most striking oddnesses that have lit up the landscape of modern physics.' – Philip Pullman Newly discovered strangenesses could transform our understanding...

Stargazing has shaped the entire course of human civilization. The rhythm of our ancestors' lives revolved around the stars, from cycles of agriculture to patterns of birth. How radically different would humanity be if our ancestors had looked up to the night sky and seen...nothing? In lyrical yet evidence-grounded meditations, Trotta imagines a world without stars, a dramatic alternate history in which we wouldn't understand gravity, where couldn't navigate or have much sense of time, and where our sense of the profound - of art and of the divine - was altered beyond recognition.

What is life? In this majestic book, Christophe Galfard, celebrated author and former graduate student of Stephen Hawking, takes us on a wonder-filled voyage to answer this question. He guides us from our planet’s birth and the mysterious bacteria that lived billions of years ago, through the extreme evolutionary turns that saw dog-sized sea scorpions and trees covered in scales, to the visionary discoveries of the past two centuries that have allowed us to understand human bodies and imagine alien ones.

In a universe without primitive time, direction emerges from irreversible quantum commitments. The Arrow of Time in a Blockchain Universe explores time not as a flowing river, but as an accumulating ledger of entangled states—validated, recorded, and exponentially costly to reverse. Drawing on philosophy, relativity, quantum gravity, and information theory, Boris Kriger argues that the past is fixed because it is entangled, the future open because it awaits validation, and spacetime itself arises from patterns of mutual information.

For most of human history, people have asked what the world is made of. Atoms, said the ancients. Particles and fields, said the moderns. Vibrating strings, said the late twentieth century. Each answer named some kind of substance — a stuff out of which everything is built. Each answer ran, in the end, into the same wall: a list of unsolved problems that could not be addressed without inventing more substances, more particles, more dimensions of stuff. The framework presented in this book takes a different route.

Twelve light-years from Earth, a star burns quietly in the constellation of the Whale. It is the nearest solitary star that resembles our Sun—a little older, a little cooler, a little poorer in the heavy elements from which planets are made. For sixty years, astronomers have trained the world’s finest instruments on Tau Ceti, searching for planets, for signals, for signs of life. What they have found is something more unexpected and more instructive: a masterclass in the limits of human knowledge.

From one of the most exciting and accessible voices in physics, an eye-opening look into the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics and how it is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. What is the universe made of, and how do we know? For decades, physicists have studied this...

A new theory of Time Wave Modulation and the Time Doppler Effect. Could have an impact as big or bigger than when Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity. Your aid and support is requested in helping the author get the proof of his theory of Time Waves through the upcoming European Space Agency's (ESA) huge new Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)

The year 2024 is marked by an astronomical phenomenon of monumental significance: the 2024 Supernova. This event is anticipated to be one of the most visually spectacular and scientifically significant astronomical events of the century.

Designed for both the tarot beginner and the more advanced student or listener in mind. We are excited to release this book to all interested in Tarot. It's uncertain if anyone knows everything that is included in this book - but you will!

Bloomsbury presents A Crack in Everything by Marcus Chown, read by Clive Mantle. What is space? What is time? Where did the universe come from? The answers to mankind’s most enduring questions may lie in science’s greatest enigma: black holes. A black hole is a region of space where gravity...

En El universo en una caja, el profesor de cosmología Andrew Pontzen, explica de una manera clara y rigurosa qué son las simulaciones, esos códigos informáticos con los que los científicos han podido recrear el universo y profundizar en su historia, poniendo a prueba por primera vez ideas centenarias. Esta suerte de manual fundamental para amantes de la astronomía, que aún está desplegando sus capacidades, replantea lo que creemos saber sobre los agujeros negros o la materia cósmica para arrojar nuevas luces sobre nuestra realidad.

In 1965, the great American physicist Richard Feynman famously proclaimed, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics." Is there any wonder why? Particles that pop in and out of existence... Spooky action at a distance that travels faster than light... Infinite universes and branching realities? In this book, we will break through the confusion and reveal to you the most important ideas of Quantum Physics, told through the amazing true story of just 4 bizarre discoveries.

I wrote this book because during, my studies of Astronomy at U.C. Berkeley (earning an Sc.D. in the field), most of what was taught involved the discoveries of historical Astronomers; nothing about their private lives. Consequently, you'll learn about the scientists and their backgrounds. The scientists in this book are only a few of the numerous who have made noteworthy contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and so on.

The 2024 solar eclipse promises to be a momentous event, uniting communities and sparking scientific curiosity across North America. As the moon's shadow sweeps across the continent, observers will gather to witness nature's grand spectacle, pondering the mysteries of the cosmos and their place within it. From scientific research to cultural celebrations, the 2024 solar eclipse serves as a reminder of the profound connections between Earth and the cosmos, inspiring wonder and awe in all who behold it.
