String Theory

For hundreds of years, scientists of quantum physics have been telling things that looked unrealistic at the time they were living in. These scientists understood that everything is energy and discovered the most unbelievable laws that you are probably already familiar with....

For anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered what it all means, Issac Asimov’s Guide to Earth and Space is indispensible....

In this audio summary of The Order of Time, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli explores the very nature of time, physics, humanity, and philosophy in a book that challenges our perceptions of the world around us....

In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a 27-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity - a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics - to create a simple model of the Universe....

A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe....

This introduction to space gives you a foundation to explore whatever sparks your interest within this magnificent universe of ours. All this and more is available in this astronomy book....

The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19 (not just another flu!). We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle....

In Astronomy’s Limitless Journey, astrophysicist Günther Hasinger takes the reader on a journey to the far reaches of the universe?an exciting time travel that begins with the incredibly hot fireball of the Big Bang roughly 13.8 billion years ago and ends in distant eons with its cold, dark demise. In between lie the times in which extensive structures, galaxies, stars, and planets form....

No scientific quest is as exciting and elusive as the search to understand the Universe....

A Degree in a Book: Cosmology is the perfect introduction to cosmology, astronomy, and astrophysics, written by one of NASA's leading astronomers and educators. Filled with helpful diagrams, suggestions for further reading and easily digestible history sections....

Whether object of study or curiosity, the universe – and all it contains – is tantalisingly introduced here....

Monk E. Mind uses the rational scientific method to expose mainstream "scientific" nonsense, and present an underlying physical mechanism for all of reality....

An accessible look at the mysteries that lurk at the edge of the known universe and beyond....

I wrote this book because during, my studies of Astronomy at U.C. Berkeley (earning an Sc.D. in the field), most of what was taught involved the discoveries of historical Astronomers; nothing about their private lives. Consequently, you'll learn about the scientists and their backgrounds.

In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus dared to go against the establishment by proposing that Earth rotates around the Sun....

The greater significance of these stories of the road is better appreciated in the context of the central narrative question of the book: the nature of the universe and our place/role in it....

Electrons are the simplest of sub-atomic particles yet despite being the most studied - we still know relatively little about them. This essay summarizes what some scientists have discovered about the electron....

Science writer and optical physicist Gregory J. Gbur traces the science of invisibility from its sci-fi origins in the nineteenth-century writings to modern stealth technology, invisibility cloaks, and metamaterials....

Welcome to a journey through some of the most profound and captivating mysteries of our existence. In this narrative, we delve into three enigmatic realms that have puzzled thinkers, scientists, and dreamers for centuries....

Recent research has led to a cascade of new discoveries that have revealed an entirely different side to black holes....
