Showing results for "The One" in Physics

Time One tackles mankind's most baffling question: How did the world begin? After challenging old thinking about forty-seven crucial scientific problems, Time One author Colin Gillespie solves forty-five of them and comes up with a strikingly simple answer to the most perplexing question of them all: How did the world begin?

Time One takes an iconoclastic look at contemporary physics, notably relativity, quantum mechanics and string theory.

In LIFE AS NO ONE KNOWS IT, physicist and astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker argues that solving the origin of life requires radical new thinking and an experimentally testable theory for what life is. This is an urgent issue for efforts to make life from scratch in laboratories here on Earth and missions searching for life on other planets. Walker proposes a new paradigm for understanding what physics encompasses and what we recognize as life.

You never knew that theoretical physics could be so simple! In this exciting and significant audiobook, Andrew Thomas reveals how all unifications in physics have been based on incredibly simple ideas.

"The Universal One" by Walter Russell is an ambitious and comprehensive work that endeavors to blend the realms of science, philosophy, and spirituality into a singular, cohesive theory of the universe.

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.

Astronomer Florian Freistetter has chosen 100 stars that have almost nothing in common. Some are bright and famous, some shine so feebly you need a huge telescope. There are big stars, small stars, nearby stars and faraway stars. Some died a while ago, others have not even yet come into being. Collectively they tell the story of the whole world, according to Freistetter. There is Algol, for example, the Demon Star, whose strange behaviour has long caused people sleepless nights. 

How did we get here? All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants. In How Evolution Explains Everything About Life, leading biologists and New Scientist take you on a journey of a lifetime, exploring the questions of whether life is inevitable or a one-off fluke and how it got kick-started.

In The Quantum World, leading physicists and New Scientist take you on a journey through quantum theory, its mind-bending properties and the technologies transforming our world. Forget everything you thought you knew about reality. The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched.

With wonder, wit, and flair - and in record time and space - geophysicist David Bercovici explains how everything came to be everywhere, from the creation of stars and galaxies to the formation of Earth's atmosphere and oceans to the origin of life and human civilization. Bercovici marries humor and legitimate scientific intrigue, rocketing listeners across nearly 14 billion years and making connections between the essential theories that give us our current understanding of topics as varied as particle physics, plate tectonics, and photosynthesis.

Black holes are some of the most mystifying and mysterious parts of our galaxy. How big can a black hole get? Do black holes ever die? What does it sound like when black holes smash into each other? Learn the answers to all of these questions and more in this fascinating look into the phenomena scientists are learning more about every day.

If you've ever found yourself fascinated by the idea of quantum computing but feel a little overwhelmed by the mind-blowing subject of quantum mechanics or concerned by climate change but haven't been able to get to grips with the details of global warming, this book is for you.

Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world’s most distinguished mathematicians. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, listeners not only get insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.

Weißt du, wie viel Sternlein stehen? Mehr als man sich vorstellen kann - und alle erzählen sie eine Geschichte über das Universum. Dank Gamma Draconis wissen wir, dass die Erde sich um ihre Achse dreht, und 61 Cygni hat uns verraten, wie große der Kosmos ist. Die Sterne nehmen uns mit auf die Suche nach außerirdischem Leben, erklären, wie schwarze Löcher funktionieren und warum die Dinosaurier ausgestorben sind. Und sie zeigen, wie wir durch den Weltraum reisen und andere Planeten besiedeln könnten.

Queste 100 citazioni mirano a fornire l'accesso a un'opera o a una vita eccezionale, attraverso una selezione dei pensieri più eclatanti, in un formato accessibile a tutti. Una citazione è più di un estratto di un'affermazione, può essere un colpo di mente, una sintesi di un pensiero complesso, una massima, un'apertura a una riflessione più profonda.

Allgemeinwissen: Mit spannenden, unterhaltsamen und breit gefächerten Fakten Wissen erweitern und in jedem Gespräch glänzen. Wozu Wissen, wenn ich doch jederzeit googeln kann? Dieser Gedanke ist verlockend, aber: Nur wer Dinge selbst weiß, kann sich ein kluges, zusammenhängendes Bild von der Welt machen – und ganz nebenbei in jedem Party-Talk punkten.

In this podcast we talk about the cool and mesmerizing stuff that no one could ever think of, looking over the beauty of science and the way the universe things around and can change the whole thing in the blink of an eye in terms of perspective.

Desde la observación del cielo nocturno hasta la definición del segundo, desde el calendario sumerio hasta la creación del gregoriano, desde las clepsidras de los antiguos egipcios hasta el súper preciso reloj atómico… De los tiempos en que las longitudes se...

For almost 40 years, Chet Raymo walked a one-mile path from his house to the college where he taught, chronicling the universe by observing every detail of his route with a scientists curiosity, a historians respect for the past, and a childs capacity for wonder. With each step, the landscape he traversed became richer, suggesting ever deeper aspects of astronomy, history, biology, and literature, and making the path universal in scope.
