Pour retracer l'histoire du Système solaire, Alessandro Morbidelli suit cette règle de Sherlock Holmes : « lorsque vous avez éliminé l'impossible, ce qui reste, si improbable soit-il, est nécessairement la vérité. » En éliminant progressivement les hypothèses les plus simples (les planètes se sont formées sur leurs orbites actuelles) mais démenties par les observations (les orbites des petits corps sont alors inexplicables), Alessandro Morbidelli et ses collègues sont parvenus au « modèle de Nice » pour décrire les déplacements et perturbations des corps du Système solaire.

A lighthearted yet profound guide to the realms of higher consciousness and the ultimate nature of reality. Explains some of the most difficult concepts of physics and heightened consciousness in ways that are easily understood. Presents a model for the interaction of the universe and...

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...

For a century, physicists and philosophers have treated quantum mechanics as an anomaly—a realm where particles tunnel through barriers, exist in multiple states at once, and refuse to reveal their properties until observed. The quantum world has been called bizarre, counterintuitive, and fundamentally strange. But what if this strangeness was never in the world at all? What if it was only ever in our expectations? Nothing Strange About Quantum Strangeness offers a radical reframing.

Brought to you by Penguin. If you met an alien, what might it be like? Ever since childhood, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has wanted to be abducted by aliens. Here, he draws upon a lifetime’s fascination to explore the science of alien life – and to offer a practical guide to your...

This book explains why events in the world cannot always be understood as the result of separate things influencing one another locally. Starting from a well-established result in modern physics, it shows that some correlations observed in nature cannot be explained by assuming that each object carries its own independent properties and that all influence spreads step by step through space. The book examines the theorem that establishes this limit and the experiments that confirm it.

Originally published in 1926, The Russell Genero-Radiative Concept is a concise and provocative exposition of Walter Russell’s cyclic theory of continuous motion. In this rare work, Russell outlines a universe governed not by linear mechanics, but by rhythmic balance—where all matter, energy, and motion arise from the interplay of generative and radiative forces.

You are cosmically insignificant. You've heard it a thousand times. A pale blue dot. A speck of dust in an infinite void. A brief flicker between two eternities of darkness. This book says: that's wrong. Not sentimentally wrong. Mathematically wrong. Using rigorous information theory, fixed-point mathematics, and the concept of effective complexity developed by Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, The Tiny Giants demonstrates that observers—biological and artificial—contribute a staggering share of the universe's meaningful structure.

By most popular accounts, the universe started with a bang some 13.8 billion years ago. But what happened before the Big Bang? And how do we know it happened at all? Here prominent cosmologist Niayesh Afshordi and science communicator Phil Halper offer a tour of the peculiar possibilities: bouncing and cyclic universes, time loops, creations from nothing, multiverses, black hole births, string theories, and holograms. Along the way, they offer both a call for new physics and a riveting story of scientific debate.

In The Edge of Space-Time, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein takes listeners to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time – and about ourselves. Guided by her conviction that science is for everybody, Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and draws on poetry and popular culture – from Queen Latifah to Lewis Carroll to Big K.R.I.T. to Sun Ra and Star Trek – to tell fascinating stories about the fundamental quantum nature of space-time and everything inside of it.

Sie sind die wohl rätselhaftesten Dinger im Universum, beflügeln unsere Fantasie und bereiten der Forschung Kopfzerbrechen: Schwarze Löcher. Seit 100 Jahren hält uns die Vorstellung dieser lichtlosen Weltraum-Monster in Atem. In der ersten Ausgabe von „Erzähl mir alles: Physik" beleuchten wir, wie Schwarze Löcher vom theoretischen Hirngespinst zur astronomischen Tatsache wurden. Wie die Reise ins Innere eines Schwarzen Lochs wirklich aussähe, und wie die Forschung die dunklen Schwergewichte heute am Himmel dingfest macht.

This book offers a rigorous and deliberately restrained examination of one of the most ambitious ideas in contemporary theoretical physics: the holographic principle. Rather than celebrating or rejecting holography, it subjects its claims to disciplined evaluation, asking not whether the mathematics works, but what, if anything, it entitles us to say about reality itself. The analysis proceeds from a simple but often neglected distinction between three levels of theoretical success: mathematical consistency, explanatory power, and ontological entitlement.

Rédigés par Becky Smethurst, astrophysicienne à l'université d'Oxford, les dix petits textes qui composent ce livre vous guideront à travers les galaxies et les trous noirs, et vous raconteront pourquoi la matière noire est l'une des énigmes les plus fascinantes du cosmos. Vous apprendrez également ce qu'il y avait avant le Big Bang, pourquoi nous ne sommes peut-être pas seuls dans l'Univers, tout ce que l'on ignore, ce qu'il reste à découvrir et bien d'autres choses.

Piero e Alberto Angela invitano i lettori a un grande viaggio nel Cosmo a bordo della Noos (che in greco antico significa "intelletto"), un'astronave immaginaria che si sposta alla velocità del pensiero. Il viaggio della Noos si basa sulle più recenti conoscenze acquisite dall'astronomia e dall'astrofisica: il veicolo spaziale si posa sulla Luna, su Marte, sorvola i pianeti del nostro Sistema solare, scende su asteroidi e comete, entra fin dentro il Sole per scoprire la sua struttura interna.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: A Historical Journey traces humanity’s oldest question across centuries of dreaming, discovery, and scientific determination: Are we alone in the universe? From ancient myth-makers who imagined visitors descending from the heavens, to modern scientists armed with powerful telescopes and AI-driven data pipelines, this audiobook follows the full arc of our quest to find other intelligent life.

Un Univers en expansion - La cosmologie est l'étude de l'Univers dans son ensemble. En expansion depuis 15 milliards d'années, son histoire est jalonnée d'événements cosmiques : fabrication de la matière, génération du rayonnement cosmologique, apparition des galaxies... La cosmologie est aujourd'hui devenue une science, relativiste depuis le début du XX° siècle.Une histoire de nos nos connaissances sur l'Univers. Marc Lachièze-Rey retrace ici les grandes lignes de l'évolution des idées et des principes qui fondent nos connaissances sur l'Univers.

One of Scientific American’s Best Books of 2024 One of the world’s leading astrobiologists takes us on an awe-inspiring journey across the cosmos to investigate some of humanity’s most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? And how did life on Earth begin? We are in a golden age...

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 - September 28, 1953), born in Marshfield, MO, was an American astronomer who played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology. Hubble proved that many objects previously thought to be clouds of dust and gas and classified as "nebulae" were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Hubble's name is most widely recognized for the Hubble Space Telescope, which was named in his honor. The following is a 1945 recording of Hubble's lecture at the New York Philharmonic.
