Impact argues that Earth would be a lifeless, inhospitable piece of rock without being fortuitously assaulted with meteorites throughout the history of the planet. These bombardments transformed Earth’s early atmosphere and delivered the complex organic molecules that allowed life to develop on our planet.

In Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, Lee Smolin provides an accessible overview of the attempts to build a final "theory of everything." He explains in simple terms what scientists are talking about when they say the world is made from exotic entities such as loops, strings, and black holes and tells the fascinating stories behind these discoveries: the rivalries, epiphanies, and intrigues he witnessed firsthand.

For fans of The Astronaut Wives Club, The Mercury 13 reveals the little-known true story of the remarkable women who trained for NASA space flight. In 1961, just as NASA launched its first man into space, a group of women underwent secret testing in the hopes of becoming America’s first female astronauts. They passed the same battery of tests at the legendary Lovelace Foundation as did the Mercury 7 astronauts, but they were summarily dismissed by the boys’ club at NASA and on Capitol Hill.

Scientists in the past few decades have made crucial discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. But there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: We still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. At the Edge of Time focuses on what we have recently learned and are still striving to understand about this most essential and mysterious period of time at the beginning of cosmic history.

With the support of former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, investigative reporter Leslie Kean draws on her research to separate fact from fiction and to lift the veil on decades of U.S. government misinformation. Throughout, she presents irrefutable evidence that unknown flying objects - metallic, luminous, and seemingly able to maneuver in ways that defy the laws of physics - actually exist.

Dr. Philip C. Plait sets the record straight on many modern hoaxes and myths. Appalled that millions of Americans don't believe in the moon landing, or that an egg stands on its end only on the vernal equinox, Plait hilariously spills the truth and informs us of scientific inaccuracies in our everyday vernacular.

As recently as 1990, it seemed plausible that the solar system was a unique phenomenon in our galaxy. Thanks to advances in technology and clever new uses of existing data, now we know that planetary systems and possibly even a new Earth can be found throughout galaxies near and far.

On October 4, 1957, a time of Cold War paranoia, the Soviet Union secretly launched the Earth's first artificial moon. No bigger than a basketball, the tiny satellite was powered by a car battery. Yet, for all its simplicity, Sputnik stunned the world.

Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the big bang. But few of us understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the solar system, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She then moves out past nearby galaxies - and back in time - to the horizon of the observable universe, which contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each with billions of stars, many orbited by planets, some of which may host life.

Pense nessa situação: você está em uma pequena embarcação à deriva em um vasto oceano, onde a visibilidade é limitada a poucos metros ao redor. Cada onda que surge parece uma nova e imensa montanha a ser escalada, e cada brisa traz uma nova informação do que existe além dessas montanhas. No entanto, o que está mais além do horizonte é completamente desconhecido e inalcançável. Assim é nossa compreensão do universo. Uma nova visão resolve alguns mistérios, mas revela características bizarras encontradas nestes lugares. 🎙️ Participe também do nosso podcast, mandando ...

Ideal for home schoolers - because it's fun for the beginner... or any non-scientist This 3 volume series is like a mystery story - atomic physics, photons, quantum, relativity... all without formulas or complicated language. What kinds of questions were being asked "back then"?* Why were proposed answers strange to our modern ears? Were any of their answers true? What kinds of experiments did they use to help find answers? Volume 1 The Universe is Made Up of “Stuff” introduces the beginnings of scientific inquiry into the makeup of the "stuff" of our universe. Why did they get so much ...

In dem Podcast „Die Zwei vom Feld“ begeben sich Sven und Tobi, zwei leidenschaftliche Amateurastrofotografen und Mitglieder der Volkssternwarte Paderborn e.V. auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit des Lichts. Seit mehreren Jahren widmen sie sich intensiv der Astrofotografie und halten dabei mit ihren Kameras spektakuläre Himmelsobjekte fest, welche teils viele Millionen Lichtjahre entfernt sind. Doch wie entstehen diese atemberaubenden Aufnahmen von Galaxien, Nebeln und Sternhaufen wirklich? Und welche Ausrüstungen und Techniken kommen hierbei eigentlich zum Einsatz? Diese und viele ...
