A collection of Albert Einstein's popular writings. The selections range from his earliest days as a theoretical physicist to his death in 1955; from such subjects as relativity, nuclear war or peace, and religion and science, to human rights, economics, and government....

Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy, and mathematics that are the foundation of his work....

Albert Einstein was pursuing a dream far more ambitious than the theory of relativity. He was trying to find an equation that explained all physical reality - a theory of everything. Experimental physicist and award-winning educator Dr. Don Lincoln takes you on this exciting journey....

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". He examines what physics can tell us....

When Stephen Hawking died, he was widely recognized as the world's best physicist, and even its smartest person. He was neither. In Hawking Hawking, science journalist Charles Seife explores how Stephen Hawking came to be thought of as humanity's greatest genius. Hawking spent his career grappling with deep questions in physics, but his renown didn't rest on his science. He was a master of self-promotion, hosting parties for time travelers, declaring victory over problems he had not solved, and wooing billionaires.

Breakthrough takes us on a breathtaking, mind-altering tour of the eureka! moments of modern physics. Charting the spellbinding stories of the scientists who predicted and discovered the existence of unknown planets, black holes, invisible force fields, ripples in the fabric of space-time, unsuspected subatomic particles and even antimatter, Marcus Chown reveals science's greatest mystery: its astonishing predictive power.

This audiobook contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel. The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author’s earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no tech notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of Time Machines. 

La ciencia ficción nos permite visitar lugares que sólo podemos soñar ver: otros mundos, estrellas lejanas, galaxias enteramente nuevas. No todos los relatos se ocupan de la ciencia real que hay detrás de los viajes espaciales y otras empresas futuristas, pero la ficción puede ofrecer una perspectiva asombrosa de hasta dónde podrían llegar nuestras capacidades y de lo que soñamos con hacer.

Mentre si è in macchina, si incontrano tanti imprevisti che ci fanno viaggiare con la testa, dal telepass, al gps, ai sensori di movimento, per capirci qualcosa basta chiedere alla fisica, parola di Gabriella Greison.

Sono tante le situazioni curiose in cui siamo spettatori inconsapevoli della fisica più bella durante i nostri momenti di relax al mare. A partire dalle nuotate che si fanno in acqua fino ai castelli di sabbia da costruire in spiaggia. Se chiedete a Greison, lei vi dirà che è tutta questione di fisica, perché lei è così che vede il mondo così.
