Showing results for "I" in Physics

Your body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It's an entire world, a colony full of life. In other words, you contain multitudes. These microscopic companions sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide our behaviour and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the key to understanding all life on earth. In I Contain Multitudes, Ed Yong opens our eyes and invites us to marvel at ourselves and other animals in a new light, less as individuals and more as thriving ecosystems.

Nel nostro immaginario sono sinonimi di mistero e distruzione; la fantascienza li ha spesso rappresentati come passaggi verso irraggiungibili universi paralleli. Ma sappiamo veramente cosa sono i buchi neri e quali caratteristiche hanno? Come si può dedurne la presenza nello spazio? Come influenzano la vita delle galassie? A partire dalle prime intuizioni tardo-settecentesche, attraverso la meccanica classica e la teoria della relatività, fino alle scoperte degli ultimi anni, l'autore ci racconta tutto quello che si sa su uno dei temi più affascinanti della fisica contemporanea.

A powerful reflection on life in isolation, in pursuit of the dream of Mars. In 2013 Kate Greene moved to Mars. On NASA’s first HI-SEAS simulated Mars mission in Hawaii, she lived for four months in an isolated geodesic dome with her crewmates, gaining incredible insight into human behaviour in tight quarters, as well as the nature of boredom, dreams and isolation that arise amidst the promise of scientific progress and glory. 

"I’m Finally Reading My Brother’s Book" is a podcast where Clay Bascom tries to understand the book his brother, Dr. Gavin Bascom, wrote about cosmology, quantum theory, and the universe. Each episode, Clay reads a chapter from On the Inside of a Marble, and the brothers break it down together. It’s part science, part sibling banter, and totally accessible for curious minds who want to explore space, time, and everything in between. Artwork for the cover of this podcast was done by Andy Gaskill. Purchase the book here: https://a.co/d/09jRJ3Z

Le grandi scoperte della fisica hanno reso il mondo un posto migliore. Dietro queste scoperte ci sono grandi uomini e grandi donne, che hanno dedicato la loro vita al progresso scientifico, e hanno ricevuto il premio Nobel per i benefici resi all’umanità. Questo podcast racconta la loro storia, il loro talento e la loro tenacia, e spiega, in modo semplice ma rigoroso, la portata scientifica della loro scoperta.Scritto da Laura Paganini, astrofisica e ricercatrice.

Speed limits. Internet speeds. The speed of Earth. There are so many aspects of human life that are ruled by speed, even if we don’t realize it everyday. In this best of Seeker collection, you’ll learn how we decide speed limits, how fast a thought travels, how much acceleration the human body can take, and the simple discovery that let us fly faster than the speed of sound.

Orra by Joanna Baillie. Considered by her contemporaries a playwright “second only to Shakespeare,” Joanna Baillie was one of the most critically acclaimed writers of the Romantic Era. The Plays on the Passions, first published in 1798, stands as her undeniable magnum opus: a multivolume series of tragedies and comedies exploring the overruling passions of the mind. Orra: A Tragedy in Five Acts, which comes from that series' third volume, is Joanna Baillie’s haunting meditation on fear and madness. It is gothic melodrama par excellence. Set in fourteenth century Switzerland, Baillie's ...
