Move over, established way of scientific research. Unshakeable professor Bagdenborg has arrived. He has freed - no, emancipated - science from the restricting shackles of mathematics and exhausting labor of experimentation! But he does not abandon reasoning. Better; he has equipped it with the wings of imagination. The result is an immense cornucopia of mind-blowing scientific discoveries in fundamental physics. Go ahead and turn the pages.

The phenomena and events which occur (incessantly) in Nature are countless. But on careful observation, we can notice that some forms of common threads run across different platforms or fields.These fascinating parallels can be found amidst the world of human affairs also, apart from the natural, scientific laws and theories.Look at how a very large unit (or organization, or organism, or machine) is very conveniently and smartly assembled out of many smaller units. The beauty...

The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe?There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel universes populating a vast multiverse. Here, Briane Greene, one of our foremost physicists and scie...

**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Deepak Chopra joins forces with leading physicist Menas Kafatos to explore some of the most important and baffling questions about our place in the world."A riveting and absolutely fascinating adventure that will blow your mind wide open!" —Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi**What happens when modern science reaches a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality? In this brilliant, timely, and practical work, Chopra and Kaf...

A fun and fascinating look at great scientific paradoxes.Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don't seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. For example, how can a cat be both dead and alive at the same time? Why will Achilles never beat a tortoise in a race, no matter how fast he r...

**“Fundamentals might be the perfect book for the winter of this plague year. . . . Wilczek writes with breathtaking economy and clarity, and his pleasure in his subject is palpable.” —The New York Times Book ReviewOne of our great contemporary scientists reveals the ten profound insights that illuminate what everyone should know about the physical world**In Fundamentals, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek offers the reader a simple yet profound explora...

This clearly written and compelling look at physics and physicists offers "thousands of new ways to see our daily world more richly" (Douglas Hofstadter, author of Gödel, Escher, Bach).For many of us, physics has always been a thing of mystery and complexity. K. C. Cole, an award-winning science writer, specializes in making its wonders accessible to the everyday reader.This book uses lively prose, metaphors, and anecdotes to allow us to comprehend...

My name is Zsolt Bánhegyi, I am physicist, and I am living in Hungary. A few years ago someone gave me the Hungarian copy of the book Ultimate Reality, the New Paradigm of Life Eternal, and the information within changed my whole life. I have been raised on the materialistic worldview during the communist era of Hungary, and I was almost convinced about the righteousness of everything we learned at the University. While reading the book I suddenly realized that the world is completely diff...

In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity—a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics—to create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmology was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of relativity had failed to do—illuminate the very birth of the universe.Ever since, loop quantum...

**From the acclaimed author of *Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space—*an authoritative and accessible guide to the most alluring and challenging phenomena of contemporary science."[Levin will] take you on a safe black hole trip, an exciting travel story enjoyed from your chair’s event horizon.” —Boston Globe**Through her writing, astrophysicist Janna Levin has focused on making the science she studies not just comprehensible but also, and perhaps more ...

Is the universe infinite, or is it just really big? Does nature abhor infinity? In startling and beautiful prose, Janna Levin's diary of unsent letters to her mother describes what we know about the shape and extent of the universe, about its beginning and its end. She grants the uninitiated access to the astounding findings of contemporary theoretical physics and makes tangible the contours of space and time—those very real curves along which apples fall and planets orbit.Levin gu...
