New Physics

Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes. New shoes eventually scuff, our bodies weaken and die. Yet our senses tell us that miraculous order constantly emerges, too: children grow and learn; spontaneous patterns manifest in murmurations of starlings. Can it be true that the laws of our universe mandate only dissolution?

The explanations of transcendent phenomena given by saints, sages, and near-death experiencers—miracles, immortality, heaven, God, and transcendent awareness—are fully congruent with scientific discoveries in the fields of relativity, quantum physics, medicine, M-theory, neuroscience, and quantum biology. The Physics of God describes the intersections of science and religion with colorful, easy-to-understand metaphors, making abstruse subjects within both science and religion easily accessible to the layman—no math, no dogma. 

An Oxford physicist "seeks to shatter complacency" (David Deutsch) in modern physics and show why five revolutionary experiments in quantum physics promise to open the gates separating us from a true understanding of the universe For the last century, physics has been treading along the paths...

Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration that has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public, despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma.

In this exhilarating and mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies offers listeners a glimpse of how quantum physics has led to a quantum technology revolution. Quantum 2.0 reveals how today’s brightest minds are harnessing exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in everyday life. Specifically, all eyes are on entanglement, called “spooky” by Einstein, which links the activities of separated particles even across vast distances.

In this absorbing and frequently contentious book, Roger Penrose puts forward his view that there are some facets of human thinking that can never be emulated by a machine. The book's central concern is what philosophers call the "mind-body problem". Penrose examines what physics and mathematics can tell us about how the mind works, what they can't, and what we need to know to understand the physical processes of consciousness.

To understand the true nature of the Akashic Records, one must look beyond the physical world and into the realm of pure consciousness. Derived from the Sanskrit word Akasha, meaning "ether" or "sky," the Akashic Records represent the ultimate energetic database of the universe. They are not a physical location or a collection of dusty scrolls, but rather a vibrational field that permeates all of existence. If you were to visualize them, you might imagine a vast, infinite cosmic library—one that exists outside of time and space. Within this library, every soul has its own unique volume, a...

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today. 

The global bestselling superstar ‘poet of physics’ returns with a dazzling philosophical exploration of our place in the universe What can we really know about the world around us? Or is there beauty in daring not to know? With clarity and lightness, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli takes...

What do quantum physics and love have in common? Fifteen years ago, preeminent psychologist and philosopher Henry Grayson made a remarkable observation: that in the wildly different realms of atoms and intimate relationships, our thoughts alone can create undeniably real effects. In quantum...

My Big TOE: Awakening, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of contemporary culture, unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds is brought together under one seamless scientific understanding.

What are angels? Many people believe in angels, but few can define these enigmatic spirits. Now visionary theologian Matthew Fox and acclaimed biologist Rupert Sheldrake - pioneers in modern religious thinking and scientific theory - launch a groundbreaking exploration into the ancient concept of the angel and restore dignity, meaning, and joy to the time-honored belief in these heavenly beings.

You are holding a case file. The crime scene is the universe at its smallest scale, and the evidence refuses every classical explanation. Particles exist in many places at once. Measuring one object instantly shapes what someone finds in another, even a continent away. Particles pass through barriers they have no energy to cross. The act of looking changes what is being observed. These are not metaphors. They are the literal, laboratory-verified behavior of matter and light, confirmed on every continent for more than a century. What the evidence means still is in dispute, and that is the ...

At our dinner table there were two universes. My father's ran on neurons and chemistry. We are machines, he said — brilliant machines, but machines. Consciousness is a trick of the brain. We live, we die, that's it. My mother's ran on souls and telepathy and connections that would never sit still for an instrument. I was a child between them, and I couldn't choose. My father's world explained the clock and the rain and the way a cut heals. My mother's explained the dream that came true and knowing who was calling before the phone rang. Half a century later I am still in that gap, and this...

What if everything you thought you knew about reality was just the beginning? On September 11, 2001, Christopher John's world changed forever—not just from witnessing tragedy, but from the profound questions it sparked about faith, truth, and the nature of existence itself. What began as a quest to understand religious differences led to an extraordinary discovery that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science. "Everything Is Light" reveals the revolutionary truth that consciousness and light are not separate phenomena—they are one. From childhood questions about "...

The definitive exploration of one of the most daring and consequential theories of our time, completely revised and updated to reflect the rapid advances in artificial intelligence and virtual reality Are we living in a simulation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk draws from research and...

What if the strangest thing about quantum physics was not the math, but the language it forced humanity to invent? Niels Bohr did not simply help explain the atom. He changed what physicists believed could be said about reality itself. In Niels Bohr and the Copenhagen Spell, readers enter the dramatic heart of the quantum revolution, where classical certainty gave way to complementarity, uncertainty, measurement, and the mysterious role of the observer. From Bohr’s atomic model to his legendary debates with Albert Einstein, this book follows the rise of the Copenhagen interpretation: the ...

The whole of Western natural philosophy is undergoing a sea change, forced upon us by the experimental findings of quantum theory. At the same time, these findings have increased our doubt and uncertainty about traditional physical explanations of the universe's genesis and structure. Biocentrism completes this shift in worldview, turning the planet upside down again with the revolutionary view that life creates the universe instead of the other way around.

Experimental physicist at CERN and acclaimed science presenter Harry Cliff offers an eye-opening account of the inexplicable phenomena that science has only recently glimpsed, and that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. Something strange is going on in the...
