Showing titles in Cosmology

How did the universe come to be? What happened during the very first instant of its existence? Scientific discovery and the Big Bang theory go into exquisite detail about the development of the universe after that first instant, but we remain in the dark about how it all began. Or do we? Join the authors in a riveting exploration of science’s latest advancements in cosmology, and the Bible’s esoteric dimension, which teaches the deepest cosmological insights into the fundamental workings of the universe.

"Hace muchos años -1976- estuve en Tucson, Arizona, y en el planetario de la ciudad había un ciclo de charlas de divulgación. Una de ellas me llamó poderosamente la atención. La ofrecía el astrónomo de la Universidad de Arizona, Nick Woolf, y se titulaba "The Universe: I can Feel it in my Bones". El título era tan provocativo que me inspiró para una charla pública que, ya de vuelta en Chile, he dictado durante años: "Somos polvo de estrellas". A miles de jóvenes y no tan jóvenes les he contado lo que yo considero una de las más grandes historias de la astronomía.

14 Milliarden Jahre in 2 Stunden und 24 Minuten - Kurz und knackig: Das Wichtigste über das Universum - für Leute, die wenig Zeit haben. Die junge Oxforder Astrophysikerin Becky Smethurst führt in zehn kurzen Kapiteln zügig durchs Weltall. Was existierte vor dem Big Bang, gibt es da draußen noch andere Lebewesen, was ist das Geheimnis Dunkler Materie und Schwarzer Löcher? Für alle, die große Fragen ans Universum haben, und diese gerne sowohl wissenschaftlich als auch humorvoll beantwortet hätten. Becky Smethursts Begeisterung für Astrophysik ist mitreißend.

Un cibo non troppo caldo e non troppo freddo, un letto non troppo morbido e non troppo duro: ecco cosa vuole la giovane protagonista della fiaba "Riccioli d'oro e i tre orsi", qualcosa di "proprio giusto". Sembra bizzarro, eppure l'astrobiologia usa lo stesso criterio nella ricerca di possibili forme di vita nello spazio. Tanto che si chiama "Fascia Riccioli d'oro" la zona abitabile di un sistema stellare, lo spazio in cui si trovano i pianeti che possiedono le caratteristiche necessarie allo sviluppo della vita: presenza di acqua, temperature non eccessivamente calde o fredde.

L'universo racchiude numerosi segreti e potrebbe perfino nascondere dimensioni inimmaginabili: universi paralleli, geometrie curve e inghiottitoi tridimensionali sono alcuni degli straordinari concetti che di recente sono divenuti protagonisti della ricerca scientifica. Oggi, delle leggi del cosmo capiamo molto più di qualche anno fa, eppure abbiamo molte meno certezze sulla sua vera natura. Nel suo percorso di ricerca nel campo della cosmologia e della fisica, Lisa Randall ha dovuto abbattere alcuni paletti della scienza ufficiale.

Quanti anni ha la vita? Qual è il destino delle stelle? Se l'atomo è fatto di vuoto, che cosa sostiene il mondo? Perché solo i nostri neuroni, tra quelli di tutte le specie, sono in grado di descrivere i neutrini? Edoardo Boncinelli e Antonio Ereditato ci raccontano l'avventura dell'Universo: dall'esplosione iniziale al costituirsi dell'architettura delle galassie, dal principio dello spaziotempo all'evoluzione dei sapiens e al sorgere della coscienza umana. Tornano a istanti che vanno da 10-30 a 10-20 secondi dopo il Big Bang.

How did our universe begin, and when and how will it end? Is the universe infinitely expanding, as the theory of cosmic inflation insists? If alien life exists, what are the chances of our encountering it, and what would such an encounter mean for humanity? Now, you can sit in on conversations with the world’s leading cosmology experts as they answer these and many other fascinating questions.

¿Cuáles son los mayores retos con los que se presenta el planeta, cuáles las mayores amenazas, dónde buscar la solución a los descomunales problemas con los que se enfrenta nuestra generación y las futuras? El origen y evolución del universo, la naturaleza del tiempo, la estructura de la materia, el infinito,las estrellas fugitivas, las ondas gravitacionales…Estos son algunos de los grandes temas que Rafael Bachiller aborda en este libro tanto desde un punto de vista científico como desde una perspectiva filosófica y humanista.

How did we get here? What was here before us? In this informative book, Cosmic Evolution, written by Ramesh Nathan, founder of the Church of Illuminism, explore the concept of evolution. Evolution is very different from what we have been taught. In the modern world, we relate evolution to a physical process and growth. This is incorrect. The concept of evolution in reality has only to deal with the soul, with the consciousness. The evolution of mankind is the evolution of mankind's consciousness.

Si la Lune m'était comptée... Fatoumata Kebe décrypte pour le lecteur non spécialiste les mystères qui entourent la Lune. Elle passe au crible mythes et légendes, et nous dévoile la réalité de cet astre encore mal connu du grand public. Ce sujet devrait trouver un écho particulier en librairie et dans les médias en 2019, année de célébration des 50 ans de la mission Apollo et des premiers pas de l'homme sur la Lune.

Evolution and creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject creation out of hand - "It is not science or fact as evolution is," they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible.

Letters from the Universe presents a new, simplistic framework for this vast expanse we exist in. By understanding the cosmos and knowing how everything began, we can emulate the ways of the universe and orchestrate a beautiful symphony of life, love, and happiness.

Rope Hypothesis and Thread Theory is based on Bill Gaede's Rope Hypothesis. We apply the rope model to questions such as, what is gravity, light, electricity, and magnetism? What is thermodynamics? What is the difference between light and sound? What is plasma? How do batteries, antennas, and cathode ray tubes work? What is the difference between fundamental and composite objects? Does size scale make a difference when it comes to motion, friction, bending, stretching, and tension?

In Astronomy’s Limitless Journey, astrophysicist Günther Hasinger takes the reader on a journey to the far reaches of the universe?an exciting time travel that begins with the incredibly hot fireball of the Big Bang roughly 13.8 billion years ago and ends in distant eons with its cold, dark demise. In between lie the times in which extensive structures, galaxies, stars, and planets form. As the field of astrophysics and cosmology experiences a “golden age” due to larger telescopes, faster computers, and more sophisticated algorithms, fundamental changes are taking place in our understanding of space and time and of the origin and future of our universe. Hasinger thoroughly explains these fascinating revelations and describes the methods utilized in modern astrophysics.

In October of 2016, our estimate of how many galaxies there are in the universe jumped from 200 billion to 2 trillion, which begs the question: is there life outside of our planet? And if so, what does that do to our theology? In Alien Theology, Pastor Bradley enters into a conversation that started before Christ and considers the possibility of alien life in light of Scripture, science, and logic.

Were Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler wrong? Does Earth orbit the Sun, or does the Sun orbit Earth? For centuries, everyone thought the science was settled, but today the accepted cosmology is being challenged by writers, speakers, and movie producers who insist that science took a wrong turn in the 17th century. These new geocentrists claim not only that Earth is the center of our planetary system but that Earth is motionless at the very center of the universe.

Sustainability has become a compelling topic of domestic and international debate as the world searches for effective solutions to accumulating ecological problems. In Return to Nature? An Ecological Counterhistory, Fred Dallmayr demonstrates how nature has been marginalized, colonized, and abused in the modern era.

Forty-four science articles using the Rational Scientific Method of Inquiry. These subjects are covered in the book Curious Chain of Events, and this is the first in a series of Rational Science books.

An ancient document was found and its basic message is that mankind will be destroyed by an asteroid hitting Earth. To understand and assess the truth of this, Asteroid Impact: Revelation Foretells Our End reviews the purpose of Revelation, who wrote it, and why and how it was written. The book explores the scientific facts upon which the predictions of the Bible are based and analyzes the history of asteroid impacts on Earth in order to assess the accuracy of Biblical predictions.

Quanto è grande l'universo? C'è stato un inizio e ci sarà una fine? Come si è fatta strada l'ipotesi del Big Bang? Come si fa a scoprire il passato dell'universo e a prevederne l'evoluzione futura? Domande antiche e in parte ancora irrisolte. Nel volume i passi più importanti del lungo cammino scientifico dall'età moderna fino alle scoperte più recenti, riguardanti la gerarchia di strutture cosmiche, l'espansione dell'universo, lo stato iniziale ultracaldo e ultradenso, che oggi i cosmologi possono osservare direttamente grazie a sofisticati telescopi e strumenti spaziali.

Quando e dove è iniziata la vita? E a cosa somigliavano le prime forme di vita? Interrogativi che l'uomo si pone da sempre, per i quali, pur in mancanza di risposte definitive, si possono avanzare alcune ipotesi. Come quella che colloca l'origine della vita intorno a 3,8 miliardi di anni fa, in un contesto riconducibile a uno di questi ambienti: brodo primordiale, campi geotermali, siti di impatto meteoritico. Certo è che le tessere del più grande e affascinante dei puzzle restano RNA, amminoacidi, protogeni, protocellule.

Keine Kultur kann existieren ohne eine Erzählung von den Ursprüngen. Der italienische Teilchenphysiker und Bestsellerautor Guido Tonelli erzählt in "Genesis" die große Geschichte von der Entstehung unseres Universums, angefangen vom Big Bang und den allerersten Augenblicken danach bis zu unserem Sonnensystem. Sein Buch ist der meisterhafte Versuch, aus dem Wissen der heutigen Astrophysik heraus eine Erzählung von den Ursprüngen zu entwickeln, die nie die Grenzen der Wissenschaft verlässt, sich aber an den großen Mythen messen lassen kann.

How to Love the Universe is a new kind of science writing by an author truly enamored of the world around him.

Die Sterne zeigen dir die Liebe. Nova glaubt an Horoskope, überzeugt von der Weisheit der Sterne. Auch Weston widmet sich den Sternen, allerdings streng wissenschaftlich. Als Rockstar der Astronomie hält er Astrologie für reine Illusion. Wenig überraschend, dass bei ihrem ersten Aufeinandertreffen die Funken fliegen. Einige Jahre später braucht Nova ausgerechnet Westons Hilfe, als es um ihre Vergangenheit geht. Deshalb nimmt sie unter einem falschen Vorwand einen Job in dem Freizeitcamp an, in dem Weston mittlerweile lehrt.

Ein Blick auf die Erforschung außerirdischen Lebens, die unser Verständnis des Kosmos verändert. Seit Tausenden von Jahren fragen sich die Menschen, ob sie allein im Weltall sind. Zum ersten Mal können wir nun auch die entsprechende Technologie nutzen, um das zu untersuchen. Die Frage nach anderem Leben im Universum sollte eine klare Antwort haben: ja oder nein. Aber wenn man versucht, anderswo Leben zu finden, stellt man fest, dass es nicht so einfach ist. Wie kann man es über kosmische Entfernungen hinweg finden? Was ist eigentlich Leben?
