Teoría de cuerdas

The Illustrated Guide to Understanding Astrophysics and the Universe gives an entertaining and educational overview of our universe, from the smallest matter to massive black holes, and everything in between....

Covers everything from the nature of scientific inquiry, experimenter's regress, and why the dinosaurs were so big, to relativity, the Higgs boson, and the Rope Hypothesis....

A collection of chapters from the previous five volumes in the Rational Science series. We discuss the difference between objects and concepts, hypothesis and theory, and science and technology....

Brief Answers to the Big Questions (2018) presents the thoughts of theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking on 10 major scientific and philosophical debates, including whether a deity exists, or whether intelligent life exists in space....

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....

Why the Universe Exists takes you deep into the world of particle physics to explore how the universe functions at the smallest scales....

In the ever-fascinating Why? Mario Livio interviewed scientists in several fields to explore the nature of curiosity....

Expertly guided by renowned cosmologist Dr. David Lyth, learn about the pioneering scientists whose work provided the foundation for Einstein’s formulation of his theories of relativity, and about Einstein's groundbreaking life and work as well....

Einstein’s revolutionary scientific ideas have transformed our world, ushering in the nuclear age. The current pace of scientific and technological progress is simply astounding. So is there any place for faith in such a world? Einstein himself gave careful thought....

Modern physics studies the four “known forces” of nature: gravity, electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces. However, “known forces” is a misnomer because hundreds of years of investigation have not led to any clearer understanding....

Even in the 21st century, the popular image of a scientist is a reclusive genius in a lab coat, mixing formulas or working out equations inaccessible to all but the initiated few....

Hubble's discoveries changed our knowledge of our place in the universe forever. His determination that the universe is expanding served as the foundation for the big bang theory....

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....

An homage to the men and women of science, and an exposition of Einstein’s place in scientific history....

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.

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

The "universe" refers to all "observable things", ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. A guide for an enjoyable visit to the universe, this small tome on fundamental physics, cosmology, Higgs bosons, time travel, and all that is unlike any other analogous book....

From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of Woman, a playful, passionate guide to the science all around us: The Canon is an ebullient celebration of science that stands to become a classic....

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....

When it comes to scientists that have made their mark in the world, none are perhaps more famous than Albert Einstein. Students around the world are taught about his theories and equations....
