Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. "I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes." So begins...

This mind-bending tour of metaphysics applies philosophy to the forefront of today's knowledge. Over the course of 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Johnson thinks through the big questions about humans and the universe: The relationship between the mind and the brain, how consciousness emerges from neurochemical processes, the existence of God, human free will, the possibility of time travel, and whether we live in a multiverse or even a computer simulation.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit.

New York Times Bestseller An exploration of the age-old complicity between skywatchers and warfighters, from the best-selling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. In this fascinating foray into the centuries-old relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist...

The authoritative story of the headline-making discovery of gravitational waves—by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer. From the author of How the Universe Got Its Spots and A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, the epic story of the scientific campaign to record the...

Today we are blessed with two extraordinarily successful theories of physics. The first is Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the large-scale behavior of matter in a curved spacetime. The second is quantum mechanics. This theory describes the properties and behavior of matter and radiation at their smallest scales.

Beyond the binary lies a field of infinite awareness. Resonance explores the philosophical implications of "Digital DNA"—the idea that our technological output is an extension of our biological and spiritual essence. We discuss electromagnetic monism, unified energy fields, and the profound connection between the micro-code of our devices and the macro-resonance of the universe.

Hosted by Felix Mercer, this series examines the physics of climate change, four-decade policy failures, and why real solutions require redesigning entire systems—not just swapping energy sources. Grounded in data, urgent in tone, unsparing in analysis. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

Felix Mercer examines bifurcation theory—when systems split from one equilibrium into many. Explore how small parameter changes produce dramatically different outcomes across physics, markets, and social movements. Discover critical thresholds and warning signs before systems suddenly transform. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

Felix Mercer unpacks the physics of stress and strain to reveal what happens when materials—and people—bend under pressure. From elastic rebounds to permanent reshaping, each episode explores whether deformation defines our strength or signals our breaking point. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

Felix Mercer explores how relativity shapes physics, perception, and moral reasoning. Each episode bridges hard science with everyday life, examining what shifts when we accept our viewpoint is just one among many equally valid frames of reference. For more content like this, visit QuietPlease.ai

Menschen fliegen ins Weltall – das scheint uns inzwischen normal. In dieser Ausgabe von „Erzähl mir alles: Physik" beleuchten wir die Raumfahrt von Vergangenheit bis Zukunft, und von der kosmischen Nachbarschaft bis in die Ferne. Touristische Flüge an die Grenze des Weltalls, Langzeit-Aufenthalte auf Raumstationen, neue Flüge zum Mond oder Ende sogar eine Reise zu den Sternen: Egal, wohin es gehen soll, ohne Physik geht nichts!

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. This book is about our thoughts and how they determine our actions and very being. A few quotes will give a good taste of the riches in this book: "A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts." "Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last ...

A boundary-breaking astrophysicist reimagines the universe—and our place within it—in this audacious journey through the Nine Realms of the cosmos. The universe gave rise to everything: stars and cells, minds and memories, purpose and pain. But it doesn’t care about us. It follows its own...

A contrarian scientist wrestles with the big questions that modern physics raises, and what physics says about the human condition Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it. The notion that there are universes...
