From the #1 bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House comes a real-life, race-against-time thriller about the scientists and astronauts preparing—right now—to stop a city-killing asteroid from hitting Earth. In 2024, astronomers detected something...

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...

Alles über das All – wissenschaftlich fundiert und allgemein verständlich. Wie warm ist es im Weltraum? Sind Schwarze Löcher wirklich schwarz? Und warum altern Raumfahrer langsamer? Ulrich Walter ist einer von elf Deutschen, die im All waren. Auf seiner Mission mit der Raumfähre Columbia hat er Erfahrungen gemacht, von denen der Großteil der Menschheit nur träumen kann. Verständlich und unterhaltsam erklärt der Astronaut alles Wissenswerte über die Welt und den Weltraum – von der Relativitätstheorie bis zur Dunklen Materie.

2021年5月、地球に帰還した宇宙飛行士の野口聡一さん。 民間の「スペースX」社が開発した宇宙船で宇宙へ行った初めての日本人として、偉業を成し遂げた。 その野口さんは、毎朝地上からの指示を受け、400km離れた宇宙で仕事をこなしていた――それはまさに"テレワーカー"だろう。

Wie war das eigentlich mit dem Urknall? Warum starben die Dinosaurier aus? Was wiegt die Erde? Und wie ist das überhaupt möglich – die Erde zu wiegen? Auf diese und viele weitere Fragen hat SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Bill Bryson in der Schule nie Antworten erhalten. Deshalb hat er sich selbst auf die Suche nach ihnen gemacht und eine atemberaubende Reise durch Raum und Zeit angetreten. Dabei entstand ein faktenreiches, kluges und äußerst vergnügliches Hörbuch über die Wunder der Welt– mit all dem Witz und Charme, die Bryson zu einem der beliebtesten Sachbuchautoren unserer Zeit gemacht haben!

The authorized biography of a brilliant theoretical physicist and science communicator, featuring revelations from never-before-seen personal records, by an award-winning writer and biographer “When one is faced with the possibility of early death, it makes one realise that life is worth...

A radical new vision of reality from one of the great minds of our time, mapping a watershed moment in both physics and philosophy. We are living in an age of scientific advancement on par with that of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton: a period of discovery that has so fundamentally...

What is time? Does it exist? Can it be stopped? Can time's arrow be reversed? Can we ever free ourselves from the seemingly inexorable flow of time? Chronos is a mystery, and not only for us: it was a mystery for our distant ancestors too. In this book, Guido Tonelli guides us along the path to...

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.

In 1965, two engineers in New Jersey tried to blame pigeons for a noise that would not go away. The noise turned out to be the oldest light in the universe, still arriving from every direction at once, cooling by one ten-billionth of a degree with every minute that passes. That light has been called the afterglow of the Big Bang — a phrase that is, strictly speaking, wrong. The cosmic background radiation is not the universe being born. It is the universe becoming transparent, roughly three hundred eighty thousand years after an event that had already quietly set the stage.

The earth is bigger than you've been shown and there are undiscovered and secret lands beyond the polar ice. This is the first evidence-based book on the topic. Instead of focusing on anecdotal hearsay, it presents maps, historical accounts, old newspaper clippings, cultural traditions and modern scientific evidence to prove that the mainstream view of the world is false. Equipped with real proof, this book rekindles your sense of exploration and adventure, expands your thinking and helps you dare venture where few have gone before.

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...

«Realmente, este es uno de los mejores capítulos que he visto de todo el ciclo de BBVA», comenta un lector a la charla de José Edelstein en Aprendemos Juntos de BBVA, quienes junto a más de 1,3 M de lectores lo avalan. ¡No os la perdáis! ¿Qué tienen en común un físico griego del siglo III a. C., Beethoven, Stephen Hawking y Gabriel García Márquez? Todos forman parte de este viaje literario y científico por los cielos y sus secretos. En Trece maneras de mirar el cielo, José Edelstein entrelaza astronomía, historia y arte con una elegancia poco habitual en los libros de divulgación.

For centuries, science has searched for the fundamental "stuff" of the universe — atoms, particles, forces, spacetime. But what if none of those are the true foundation? What if reality is built from something deeper?

Look up at the night sky. Every star, every galaxy, every wisp of nebula appears perfectly, eternally still. The constellations that Hipparchus cataloged over two thousand years ago remain recognizable tonight. The Universe seems frozen. It is not. Behind that apparent stillness rages a cosmos of extraordinary violence: galaxies colliding over hundreds of millions of years, stars being born and dying in thermonuclear cataclysms, space itself expanding and carrying everything apart. The Universe is not frozen. We are merely too brief to see it move.

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...

Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than...

The determination of stellar ages is crucial for the development of our understanding of the universe and for constraining theoretical models of galaxy formation and planetary system evolution. The ages of stars provide scientists with timescales to identify the relevant physical processes...

Подобные заголовки часто встречаются в прессе. В них не было бы большой беды, если бы из-за порождаемых мифов не формировалось конспирологическое мировоззрение, отрицающее историю космонавтики и достижения науки. Космическую мифологию легко опровергнуть фактами, но чтобы добраться до них, нужны знания и опыт. Книга Антона Первушина, писателя и научного журналиста, поможет сориентироваться в потоках информации и научиться отделять правду от вымысла.

The first book in this series, The End of Dark Cosmology, showed that ninety-five percent of the universe does not need to be missing. One conceptual correction—separating the cosmological constant from the energy of the quantum vacuum—reproduced the successes of dark matter and dark energy without invoking either. The coupling constant was derived from measured nuclear physics. Zero free parameters. No new particles. No new forces. This book takes the same formula and pushes it to its logical extremes.
