For decades, beloved astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has interpreted science with a combination of brainpower and charm that resonates with fans everywhere. This pioneering, provocative audiobook brings together the best of StarTalk, his beloved podcast and television show devoted to solving the most confounding mysteries of Earth, space, and what it means to be human.

Stephen Hawking was supposed to be dead by 23. Diagnosed with ALS at Cambridge and given just two years to live, he lost his voice, his mobility, and nearly every physical function — but never his fire. Instead of fading, he rewrote the universe. From black holes to Big Bangs, radiation to multiverses, Hawking transformed modern physics with a single cheek muscle and a voice made of code. He became the most famous scientist alive — not just for what he survived, but for what he discovered.

This book is the boundary between science and philosophy dissolves into a haunting exploration of existence itself. Beginning with the mysterious precision of the universe’s physical constants and ending at the silent edge of knowledge, this book traces the anthropic principle not as an answer, but as a profound and unsettling question. From the delicate balance that permits life to the strange recursion of a cosmos observed by minds it created, each chapter draws closer to a truth that cannot be fully named.

Actor and bestselling science writer Ben Miller takes readers to the cutting edge of one of the greatest questions of all: Is there life beyond Earth? For millennia, we have looked up at the stars and wondered whether we are alone in the universe, but in the last few years—as our probes...

From the best-selling author of The Emperor’s New Mind and The Road to Reality, a groundbreaking book that provides new views on three of cosmology’s most profound questions: What, if anything, came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? What is its ultimate future?...

Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate...

Mercury, a lifeless victim of the Sun’s expanding power. Venus, once thought to be lush and fertile, now known to be trapped within a toxic and boiling atmosphere. Mars, the red planet, doomed by the loss of its atmosphere. Jupiter, twice the size of all the other planets combined, but insubstantial. Saturn, a stunning celestial beauty, the jewel of our Solar System. Uranus, the sideways planet and the first ice giant. Neptune, dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds. Pluto, the dwarf planet, a frozen rock.

This book takes the listener on an extraordinary journey through the invisible architecture of reality — from the quiet pull that keeps our feet on the ground to the roaring gravity wells of black holes and the earliest tremors of spacetime itself. It explores how gravity, more than any other force, reveals the unity of all things — connecting atoms, stars, and even consciousness in one continuous fabric of being.

Black holes are some of the most fascinating phenomena in the natural universe. In this beautiful pocket volume, Odenwald explores the science behind black holes in simple and accessible language. He explains what black holes are, how they come into existence, and how they affect the universe around us. Taking into consideration subjects such as gravity, quantum mechanics, the holographic principle and thermodynamics along the way, The Essential Book of Black Holes provides the perfect starting point for anyone interested in the subject.

The unabridged and enhanced 2nd edition of Zetetic Astronomy, formulated in the 19th century by Samuel Rowbotham, presents a flat-earth cosmology grounded in direct sensory observation rather than theoretical abstraction. Rejecting Newtonian and Copernican astronomy, Rowbotham argued that the Earth is a flat, stationary plane with the Sun, Moon, and stars moving in circular paths above it, asserting that empirical evidence—such as the apparent flatness of horizons and the behavior of water surfaces—supports this model.

In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites listeners on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe.

What happens when particles lose their individuality and merge into a single quantum being? This is the mystery of the Bose–Einstein condensate — a state of matter predicted by Einstein and Bose a century ago, first realized with ultracold atoms in the 1990s, and later extended to photons, exciton–polaritons, and other exotic systems. In this book, Boris Kriger guides the listener through the history of this extraordinary discovery — from a letter written in Calcutta to Einstein, to the Nobel-winning experiments that cooled atoms to the edge of absolute zero.

How learning to “listen” to the universe using radio waves has revolutionized our understanding of everything from gravity to little green men In space, no one can hear you scream. But the universe is far from silent. It’s been speaking all along, broadcasting its stories and...

Written for the general lay listener, The Living Universe explores how the latest scientific discoveries are rewriting what we thought we knew about space, planets, and the origins of life. We now know that the universe is filled with planets, not just around other stars but also traveling in the space between them, and that many of these carry life with them. Some of these wandering planets have almost certainly been captured by the Sun's gravity, changing not just the arrangement of planets in the Solar System, but also the development of life on our Earth.

This book traces antimatter from its theoretical origins to its roles in cosmic evolution, laboratory precision, and emerging technology. It follows its perfect symmetry with matter, its fleeting appearances in stellar cores, cosmic rays, and particle accelerators, and its central place in the laws of conservation that govern change. The narrative moves through the early universe, where matter’s survival hinged on an infinitesimal asymmetry, and into present-day experiments testing antimatter’s spectra, magnetic properties, and response to gravity.

Von einer Klimakatastrophe zur nächsten schlingernd entwickelte sich unsere Erde. Am Ende war da der Mensch, entstanden aus Sternenstaub – alles nur Zufall? Oder war hier ein Schöpfergott beteiligt? Heino Falcke und Jörg Römer gehen Herkunft und Zukunft unserer Welt auf den Grund: Sie sprechen mit Persönlichkeiten aus Quantenphysik, Evolutionsbiologie, Klimaforschung, Philosophie und Theologie und entwerfen eine anschauliche und lebendige Geschichte unseres blauen Planeten und der Entwicklung des Menschen.

DAL BIG BANG ALLA FORMAZIONE DI STELLE, PIANETI E BUCHI NERI. DALLA CELLULA ALLA TEORIA DELL'EVOLUZIONE FINO A GIUNGERE ALL'ESSERE UMANO. E POI? COSA CI ASPETTA NEL PROSSIMO FUTURO? Tante e interessantissime le domande che scandiscono il viaggio raccontato in questo libro, un reportage unico e affascinante attraverso la storia dell'Universo, la scienza e le recenti scoperte, spiegate con le parole preziose e attente di un divulgatore d'eccezione come Piero Angela. Il celebre giornalista aveva un'ambizione: diffondere la cultura scientifica perché diventasse accessibile a chiunque.

What begins as a faint smudge in the night sky becomes, through science, imagination, and reflection, a vast spiral galaxy with billions of stars and a future intimately entwined with our own. Andromeda: Meeting Our Galactic Neighbor is a sweeping exploration of M31—not only as an astronomical object, but as a mirror to human curiosity, time, and destiny. From its mythic naming in ancient lore to its place in cutting-edge cosmology, this book traces how Andromeda has shaped and reshaped our understanding of the universe.

The Magellanic Clouds drift across the southern sky like luminous islands—near enough to be seen with the naked eye, yet vast enough to hold billions of stars. For millennia they have been woven into the stories of Indigenous peoples, guiding navigators across oceans and inspiring myths of creation. For modern science, they are living laboratories, revealing how galaxies are born, shaped, and ultimately transformed.
