Ever wanted to know how music affects your brain, what quantum mechanics really is, or how black holes work? Do you wonder why you get emotional each time you see a certain movie, or how on earth video games are designed? Then you've come to the right place. Each week, Sean Carroll will host conversations with some of the most interesting thinkers in the world. From neuroscientists and engineers to authors and television producers, Sean and his guests talk about the biggest ideas in science, philosophy, culture and much more.

A bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. In this important new book, David Deutsch, an award-winning pioneer in the field of quantum computation, argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe.

Mercury, a lifeless victim of the Sun’s expanding power. Venus, once thought to be lush and fertile, now known to be trapped within a toxic and boiling atmosphere. Mars, the red planet, doomed by the loss of its atmosphere. Jupiter, twice the size of all the other planets combined, but insubstantial. Saturn, a stunning celestial beauty, the jewel of our Solar System. Uranus, the sideways planet and the first ice giant. Neptune, dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds. Pluto, the dwarf planet, a frozen rock.

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and "arrows of time," of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

In Neil deGrasse Tyson’s delightful journey through the cosmos, his fictional character Merlin responds to popular questions asked by adults and children alike. Merlin, a timeless visitor from Planet Omniscia in the Andromeda Galaxy, has observed firsthand many of the major scientific events of Earth’s history.

Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all - from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel.

J.E. Gordon strips engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty prose.

The atom, the big bang, DNA, natural selection - all are ideas that have revolutionized science; and all were dismissed out of hand when they first appeared. The surprises haven't stopped in recent years, and in At the Edge of Uncertainty, best-selling author Michael Brooks investigates the new wave of radical insights that are shaping the future of scientific discovery.

Gravity controls everything from the falling of an apple to the rising of ocean’s tides to the motions of the heavens above. If you’ve ever wondered how this most puzzling force works across our entire universe, you will be delighted by this 24-part course that is accessible to any curious person, regardless of your science education. No other product on the market presents the subject of gravity in as much detail as this course, which will follow the past 400 years of research and experimentation in the field.

En octubre de 1927, veintinueve de los científicos más brillantes del mundo se reunieron en el Quinto Congreso Solvay. Diecisiete de ellos acabarían recibiendo el premio Nobel. Aquel encuentro, inmortalizado en una célebre fotografía, marcó el comienzo de una revolución intelectual sin precedentes. Allí, figuras como Marie Curie, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger o Albert Einstein debatieron los fundamentos de la recién nacida teoría cuántica, una forma radicalmente nueva de entender la naturaleza.

With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.

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.

För de flesta består ens liv av år - men för Anne L'Huillier består livet av attosekunder. På denna korta tidsskala kan man lära sig om elektroners grundläggande beteende genom att studera deras interaktioner med laserljus. Anne tar oss igenom upptäckten från 1987 som så småningom ledde till att hon tilldelades Nobelpriset i fysik 2023 - nästan fyra decennium senare. Omvandlat till en mer lämplig tidsskala landar det på drygt en miljard miljard miljard attosekunder.Utöver Daniel Nilssons fantastiska stycken har vi även äran att få inkludera urklipp från Annes son Victor ...

La teoría del Psicoverso, propuesta por Alejandro Rossi, plantea que la conciencia humana no es una experiencia única, sino que se ramifica simultáneamente en 10^18 realidades alternativas. Estos textos describen un modelo donde el individuo es una multitud de versiones conectadas que habitan multiversos con leyes físicas y sentidos distintos a los conocidos. Más que un desplazamiento físico, la conexión entre estos "yo" ocurre mediante el intercambio de recuerdos e influencias mutuas que trascienden la percepción lineal del tiempo. Esta perspectiva redefine la identidad humana como ...
