Are we living in a simulated universe ?Join us on a mind-expanding journey into a revolutionary theory about the nature of our universe. We explore the fascinating possibility that our reality operates like a sophisticated finite element simulation - not as a metaphor, but as its fundamental structure.Each episode meticulously builds a framework showing how the universe's most puzzling features - from quantum mechanics to relativistic effects - align remarkably well with computational principles. Through expert analysis and clear explanation, we transform complex physics concepts into ...

In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe.

In a drastic reevaluation of astronomy observations from Mahabharata, using high-tech tools of modern astronomy and low-tech tools of the logic of scientific discovery, Nilesh Oak’s extraordinary book presents ordinary theory of astronomy observations that would lead to a quantum jump in our understanding of the Mahabharata War

The NASA Apollo 13 recordings are a unique and valuable resource for understanding the Apollo 13 mission and the challenges faced by the crew. The recordings include everything from the astronauts' conversations with Mission Control to their descriptions of the explosion that damaged the spacecraft and their efforts to survive and return to Earth.The Apollo 13 recordings were recently digitized and restored, and they are now available online for the first time. This is a significant event, as it allows us to hear the events of the mission unfold firsthand from the perspective of the ...

Mit Hawking durch Raum und Zeit. Wie ist das Universum entstanden? Was war vor dem Urknall? Warum sind Schwarze Löcher schwarz? Gibt es außerirdisches Leben? Können wir in die Vergangenheit reisen? - Der Wissenschaftsjournalist und Hawking-Experte Rüdiger Vaas bringt sprichwörtlich Licht ins Dunkel. Kurzweilige Texte machen Hawkings faszinierende Gedanken unterhaltsam und leicht nachvollziehbar. Eine abenteuerliche Reise durch Hawkings Universum! Gelesen von Daniel Pokladek.

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.

"Vous êtes à quelques milliers de kilomètres au-dessus de la surface du Soleil. Sa puissance est à couper le souffle. D'énormes boules magnétiques gonflent et se percent, éjectant vers l'espace des milliards de tonnes de matière brûlante qui transpercent votre corps éthéré. Le spectacle est extraordinaire et vous vous demandez soudain, avec une légère jalousie, ce qui rend le Soleil si spécial par rapport à la Terre."

Space has captivated mankind since the beginning of time. Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon, and since then our knowledge of astronomy has continued to expand. With so many mysteries yet to be solved, science journalist Abigail Beall takes readers on an astonishing journey though the landscape of space.

Beginning with our earliest explorations of the night sky, William Waller takes us on an enthralling journey through the Milky Way and far, far beyond. He combines science and history to show how our understanding of everything from black holes to the structure of the universe has evolved over time, illuminating past discoveries and offering contemporary insights into the cosmic histories of stars, planets and galaxies. Whether object of study or curiosity, the universe – and all it contains – is tantalisingly introduced here.

Everywhere light goes, It has found that darkness is already there. Darkness is the natural state of the universe. For a star to be born, it takes an astounding number of possibilities to become a reality. From this unlikely alignment, we now have trillions of stars! Thankfully stars would progress to give us light, life, and an observable universe. No one knows how many stars exist, but we will tour a handful of the most famous in our known universe. Sit back and enjoy the world of outer space that spreads before you. Each constellation and luminary has a story that you won’t want to miss!

In recent years Greg - a.k.a. 'Space Gandalf' - has taken on cult status among audiences via his appearances alongside Professor Brian Cox in the hit TV series Stargazing Live. Greg's practical explanations of the complexities of space have also earned him respect from astronomers around the world. Is The Moon Upside Down? is an absorbing guided tour of the cosmos as seen through Greg's eyes.

Scientists have been searching for aliens in our solar system and beyond, but have not yet found evidence that life exists beyond Earth. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been scanning the stars for alien radio beacons for 50 years. Radio and TV broadcasts have been leaking from Earth’s atmosphere for over a century, and these traveling time capsules could eventually reach a broader audience than ever imagined. Neil and Lynne review the methods used to locate aliens and discuss what to do if you’re ever abducted.

Geneticist Adam Rutherford and mathematician Hannah Fry guide listeners through time and space, through our bodies and brains, showing how emotions shape our view of reality, how our minds tell us lies, and why a mostly bald and curious ape decided to begin poking at the fabric of the universe.

It’s about real life UFO/UAP SIGHTINGS and experiences of all kinds alien abductions to bizarre sightings and alsorts of brilliant guests Join me thanks Louie.
