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.

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.

“Cosmos” comes from a Greek word for an orderly and systematic universe. In this book, we present the most riveting discoveries and mind-bending ideas about our cosmic home, from what we know of the origins of the universe and the cartography of space to the most bizarre phenomena and the search for life. Discussions include the possibility that the big bang was the consequence of a black hole in a fourth spatial dimension, that cosmic ripples created infinite universes, that entangled black holes could act as wormhole-like passageways through space, and much more.

For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence.

George has also found that the scientific study of geology amongst other sciences, are based on an incorrect ...

The dark between the stars is not empty—it sparkles with tiny grains that build new worlds. A single dust grain’s journey becomes a true science adventure: born in a dying star, cooled in a cold cloud, coated in ice “recipes,” then swept into a glowing disk where pebbles pile up and planets begin. Along the way kids see how dust hides as dark lanes, shines in infrared, paints blue reflection nebulae, and still falls on Earth today as micrometeorites you can catch and study.
