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.

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 secrets, for...

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.

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.

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.

Cosmic Convergence invites you to expand your horizons and question your assumptions. For in the presence of walk-ins, starseeds, and hybrids, we may unlock the mysteries of the universe and find the seeds of our awakening.

We have always looked up at the sky and wondered. Ever since the ancient Babylonians began to track celestial objects on clay tablets, scientific inquiry has been driven by the innately human desire to understand what is out there, and where we fit in among it all. In this spellbinding book...

This captivating book opens up the universe in a way you've never imagined, transcending the ordinary and taking you on an extraordinary exploration of the outer space.

Em 2016 Stephen Hawking participou da série de palestras BBC Reith Lectures, promovida pela rede de televisão britânica BBC e transmitida pela rádio BBC 4. A cada ano uma figura proeminente em sua área é convidada a discorrer sobre temas relevantes. Naqueles meses de janeiro e fevereiro, Hawking falou sobre um assunto que há décadas ocupa lugar de destaque em suas pesquisas: os buracos negros.

Uma das mentes mais geniais do mundo moderno, Stephen Hawking guia o leitor na busca por respostas a algumas das maiores dúvidas da humanidade: Qual a origem do universo? Ele é infinito? E o tempo? Sempre existiu, ou houve um começo e haverá um fim? Existem outras dimensões além das três espaciais? E o que vai acontecer quando tudo terminar? Com ilustrações criativas e texto lúcido e bem-humorado, Hawking desvenda desde os mistérios da física de partículas até a dinâmica que movimenta centenas de milhões de galáxias por todo o universo.

Desde Einstein, o mundo não via um cientista tão reverenciado quanto Stephen Hawking. Com seu trabalho revolucionário em física e cosmologia, ele encantou milhões de leitores com a origem do universo e a natureza dos buracos negros, além de inspirar todos pela coragem e determinação que mostrou em sua luta contra a doença do neurônio motor. Agora, nesta reunião póstuma de seus trabalhos, podemos conhecer seus pensamentos a respeito das grandes questões que povoam nossas mentes desde os primórdios e daquelas mais prementes na atualidade.

Após o enorme sucesso de Uma breve história do tempo, a Intrínseca traz a luxuosa reedição de O universo numa casca de noz, na qual Stephen Hawking se vale de ilustrações, fotos e esquemas detalhados para mostrar grandes descobertas no campo da física teórica. Tudo isso, é claro, com sua conhecida clareza, elucidando temas complexos por meio de conceitos e ideias do dia a dia, como a inflação, as cartas de baralho e as linhas ferroviárias, e permeado com seu peculiar senso de humor.

Everywhere light goes, It has found that darkness is already there. Darkness is the natural state of the universe. For a star to be born, it takes an astounding number of possibilities to become a reality. From this unlikely alignment, we now have trillions of stars! Thankfully stars would progress to give us light, life, and an observable universe. No one knows how many stars exist, but we will tour a handful of the most famous in our known universe. Sit back and enjoy the world of outer space that spreads before you. Each constellation and luminary has a story that you won’t want to miss!

The universe should be fun, and you’re about to discover an audiobook that understands that, weaving humor and wit into every minute so that you not only understand what you’re listening to, but enjoy the whole process.

On April 8, 2024, one of nature's rarest and most spectacular events will take place–a total solar eclipse. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty and celestial wonder of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.
