Equipped with real proof, this book rekindles your sense of exploration and adventure, expands your thinking and helps you dare venture where few have gone before.

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed that it did - and in doing so, put at risk everything we know about the fundamental laws of the universe. Leonard Susskind and Gerard 't Hooft realized the threat and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.

Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only four percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, our books, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown. Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of the quest to find this “dark” matter and an even more bizarre substance called “dark energy”. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize.

More than half a century after humans first walked on the Moon, exciting new space adventures are in the works.

Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space.

What if the universe is not a finished object waiting to be observed — but a reality brought into definite form through questions, information, and participation? John Archibald Wheeler was one of the most daring physicists of the twentieth century. He helped shape nuclear physics, revived Einstein’s general relativity, gave the black hole its unforgettable name, explored wormholes and quantum foam, and mentored some of the greatest minds in modern science. Yet his most provocative legacy came later, when he began asking whether reality itself might arise from information. In Wheeler ...

Dr. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award-winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an atheist ― until science changed his mind. Once of the opinion that people of faith are weak, small-minded folks who just don’t understand science, Dr. Guillen ultimately concluded that not only does science itself depend on faith, but faith is actually the mightiest power in the universe.

Relativity and the Nature of Reality: How Einstein Redefined Space, Time, and the Universe Itself What if time is not the same for everyone? What if space is not a fixed background? What if gravity is not really a force at all? In Relativity and the Nature of Reality, Mike Feng Zheng takes you into one of the most mind-changing discoveries in human history: Einstein’s theory of relativity. This book reveals how special relativity and general relativity shattered old ideas about space, time, motion, and gravity—and replaced them with a deeper picture of the universe. This is not just a ...

Infinite Universe Theory presents the ultimate alternative to the Big Bang Theory and the common assumption that the universe had an origin. Author Glenn Borchardt starts with photos of the “elderly” galaxies at the observational edge of the universe. These contradict the current belief that the universe should have increasingly younger objects as we view greater distances. He restates the fundamental assumptions that must underlie the new paradigm. Notably, by assuming infinity he is able to adapt classical mechanics to “neomechanics” and its insistence that phenomena are strictly ...

What if one of the founders of modern astronomy was driven not only by science—but by a sacred search for cosmic harmony? Johannes Kepler is remembered as the brilliant astronomer who discovered the laws of planetary motion and helped lay the foundation for modern physics. But behind those revolutionary discoveries stood a far more fascinating figure: a man shaped by mysticism, divine proportion, Platonic geometry, and the ancient belief that the universe was built according to hidden harmony. Kepler did not look at the heavens and see random motion. He saw structure. He saw ratio. He saw...
