We are a minuscule part of an incredible continuum: a chain of events spanning 13.8 billion years, with an infinite future. But what does that future hold? And will we ever truly understand our cosmic home? The Universe In a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulation - the remarkable fusion of technology and science that, over the last century, has allowed us to understand the distant past and far future of the universe.

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on the Higgs boson and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions. Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void?

From the 18th century vicar who was the first to look up at the night's sky and suggest there was something very dark and extraordinarily heavy that was moving the stars, to the first actual photograph of a black hole, 250 years later, Jonas Enander has travelled the world, visited telescopes and observatories, interviewed world-leading space researchers, and delved deep into the archives to investigate how our relationship with black holes has changed over time.

The Apollo Moon Programme has been called the last optimistic act of the twentieth century. Over a strange three-year period between 1969 and 1972, twelve men made the longest and most eccentric journey ever undertaken by human beings, to the surface of the moon, and all were indelibly marked by it. Only nine moonwalkers were left by the time a chance encounter forced Andrew Smith to consider that one day soon there would be none: that no one on Earth would have seen us from afar as they alone had.

More than half a century after humans first walked on the Moon, exciting new space adventures are in the works. Thanks to major advances in rocketry, robotics, and other space technologies, humanity is on the verge of returning to the Moon, exploring Mars, building permanent orbiting space stations, expanding space tourism, and pushing the boundaries of exploration throughout the solar system and beyond. The Future of Space Exploration explores these exciting developments in 12 half-hour episodes, hosted by aerospace engineer and executive Dr. Ariel Ekblaw.

In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity’s relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives.

In this companion volume to Merlin’s Tour of the Universe, we visit again with Merlin, a timeless space traveler from Planet Omniscia, who answers a collection of imaginative questions about the cosmos from curious stargazers. Whether waxing poetic about Earth and its environs, the Sun and its stellar siblings, the world of light, physical laws, or galaxies near and far, Merlin’s remarks are engaging, humorous, and clear as a starry night sky.

This captivating exploration unravels the theoretical underpinnings of parallel universes, quantum mechanics, and cosmic realities, inviting you to question the very fabric of reality. Through engaging storytelling & thought-provoking insights, the book delves into concepts like the many-worlds interpretation, string theory, and the bubble multiverse, shedding light on the interconnected nature of all things.

A hilarious guide to what's real (and what's not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.

Seit Jahrzehnten beschäftigt die Frage nach dem intelligenten Leben jenseits unseres Planeten die Menschheit. Nun sind wir der Antwort so nah wie noch nie. Der Journalist Robert Fleischer präsentiert in diesem Buch die Ergebnisse seiner 16-jährigen Recherchen: UFOs sind nicht nur real, sondern stellen weltweit eine Herausforderung für Militärs und Geheimdienste dar. Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass eine nicht-menschliche Intelligenz dahintersteckt, die sich offenbar gezielt für ganz bestimmte Standorte auf der Erde interessiert und ein spezielles Motiv verfolgt.

Cosa succederebbe se la Terra orbitasse attorno a un buco nero? E se dalla sua superficie sparissero tutti gli oceani? E se venisse colpita da una supertempesta solare? E il Sole, appunto: se un giorno levassimo il naso all'insù senza più vederlo? Se qualcuno volesse improvvidamente tentare di spegnerlo con una gigantesca secchiata d'acqua? (Spoiler: sarebbe una pessima idea.) E la Luna! Cosa accadrebbe se una notte in cielo ne spuntassero due? Raddoppierebbe la poesia o ci ritroveremmo non esattamente nelle condizioni ideali per apprezzare la cosa?

In this audiobook, astrophysicist Janna Levin blends memoir and visionary science to provide a groundbreaking personal account of her life and ideas.

Astrophysikerin Suzanna Randall ist so fasziniert von unserem Kosmos, dass sie ständig in den Himmel schaut – und zwar mit den größten Teleskopen der Welt. Dabei fängt sie nicht nur sichtbare Lichtwellen ein, sondern enthüllt auch die Geheimnisse des unsichtbaren Universums. Randall stellt die interessantesten kosmischen Phänomene anhand der Farbpalette des Regenbogens vor: von roten Radiowellen bis violetter Gammastrahlung.

Our understanding of the Universe is about to transform at all levels, from the Planck scale to the vast reaches of space. Recent scientific discoveries show that the information that upholds all of our modern technologies is exactly the same as the universal in-formation that underpins, pervades, and is all we call physical reality. Exploring how information is more fundamental than energy, matter, space, or time, Jude Currivan examines the latest research across many fields of study and many scales of existence to show how our Universe is in-formed and holographically manifested.

Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence. In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes.

You're invited to discover the wonder and drama of the history of the cosmos. Follow the journey of one proton who comes into existence at the beginning of creation and makes it all the way through history to today. By becoming a part of atoms and molecules that turn up at some of the universe's most important moments, our friend Proton witnesses emerging galaxies, the origin of life, evolution, the first human beings, the birth and life of Jesus, the beginnings of the Christian church, all the way up to the present day. Through it all, the plans of the Creator continue to unfold.

A new myth for a new age! Enjoy the origins of the universe from a new perspective, combining aspects of Christian, Norse, Egyptian, and Greek cosmology. Primordium is Latin for the first beginning and used in biology to mean the earliest developmental stage for an organic substructure. These same Latin roots are combined to describe the theoretical swamp where life first began, the primordial soup.

Tommaso Ghidini, da vent'anni coinvolto nei più prestigiosi programmi aerospaziali al mondo e alto funzionario dell'Agenzia Spaziale Europea, quella passione l'ha scoperta molto presto: il volo.
