Every year, 200 experts across machine learning, automation, robotics, and space arrive in Palm Springs for MARS to share new ideas about how these four fields will shape our future. TV host and maker of things Adam Savage (MythBusters) takes listeners deep inside the MARS conference. In interviews with more than a dozen leading scientists and thinkers, Savage explores the mind-blowing and often misunderstood ways in which science and innovation are transforming the way we live, work, and play.

We understand the stars at a much deeper level, not as legendary figures connected with constellations, but as engines of matter, energy, and the raw material of life itself. The Life and Death of Stars introduces you to this story in 24 half-hour lectures that lead you through the essential ideas of astrophysics - the science of stars. Your guide is Professor Stassun, an award-winning teacher and noted astrophysicist. He provides lively, eloquent, and authoritative explanations at a level suitable for science novices as well as for those who already know their way around the starry sky.

Since its 2009 launch, the Kepler satellite has discovered more than 2,000 exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. More exoplanets are being discovered all the time, remarkable in their variety. Astronomer Michael Summers and physicist James Trefil explore these remarkable recent discoveries: planets revolving around pulsars, planets made of diamond, planets that are mostly water, and numerous rogue planets wandering through the emptiness of space.

Big History, the field that studies the entire known past of our universe to give context to human existence, has so far been the domain of historians. Geologist Walter Alvarez - best known for his Impact Theory explaining dinosaur extinction - makes a compelling case for a new, science-first approach to Big History.

The earth is bigger than you've been shown and there are undiscovered and secret lands beyond the polar ice. This is the first evidence-based book on the topic. Instead of focusing on anecdotal hearsay, it presents maps, historical accounts, old newspaper clippings, cultural traditions and modern scientific evidence to prove that the mainstream view of the world is false. Equipped with real proof, this book rekindles your sense of exploration and adventure, expands your thinking and helps you dare venture where few have gone before.

Look up at the night sky. Every star, every galaxy, every wisp of nebula appears perfectly, eternally still. The constellations that Hipparchus cataloged over two thousand years ago remain recognizable tonight. The Universe seems frozen. It is not. Behind that apparent stillness rages a cosmos of extraordinary violence: galaxies colliding over hundreds of millions of years, stars being born and dying in thermonuclear cataclysms, space itself expanding and carrying everything apart. The Universe is not frozen. We are merely too brief to see it move.

For centuries, science has searched for the fundamental "stuff" of the universe — atoms, particles, forces, spacetime. But what if none of those are the true foundation? What if reality is built from something deeper?

Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than...

स्टीफ़न हॉकिंग की वैश्विक स्तर की बेस्टसेलर पुस्तक अ ब्रीफ़ हिस्ट्री ऑफ़ टाइम वैज्ञानिक लेखन के सन्दर्भ में एक ऐतिहासिक महत्त्व की पुस्तक थी। इसकी एक वजह इसके लेखक की प्रभावी अभिव्यक्ति थी, और दूसरी वजह वे सम्मोहक विषय हैं जिनके बारे में वह बात करते हैं : देश और काल की प्रकृति, सृष्टि की प्रक्रिया में ईश्वर की भूमिका, ब्रह्माण्ड का इतिहास और भविष्य। लेकिन यह भी सही है कि उस पुस्तक के प्रकाशन के बाद पाठक लगातार प्रोफ़ेसर हॉकिंग से पुस्तक की कुछ अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण अवधारणाओं को समझने में पेश आने वाली मुश्किलों की बात करते रहे थे।

From launchpad explosions to a pernicious cricket infestation to the demanding management style of Musk himself, the rise of SpaceX was beset with challenges and far from inevitable. Find out how the startup beat the odds and flew high enough to outpace their rivals... and where they're going next.

STOP TREATING REALITY LIKE A RENDER. START TREATING IT LIKE A RECORD. The modern mind has found its final hiding place: The Simulation. Faced with the mathematical impossibility of a self-creating universe, the technocracy has retreated into a digital gnosticism. They claim we are code. They claim reality is a render. They claim that if life is a program, then guilt is just a bug, death is just a deletion, and the "Programmer" is an absentee architect who carries no liability for the suffering of His "instances."They are jurisdictionally wrong.

Подобные заголовки часто встречаются в прессе. В них не было бы большой беды, если бы из-за порождаемых мифов не формировалось конспирологическое мировоззрение, отрицающее историю космонавтики и достижения науки. Космическую мифологию легко опровергнуть фактами, но чтобы добраться до них, нужны знания и опыт. Книга Антона Первушина, писателя и научного журналиста, поможет сориентироваться в потоках информации и научиться отделять правду от вымысла.

The first book in this series, The End of Dark Cosmology, showed that ninety-five percent of the universe does not need to be missing. One conceptual correction—separating the cosmological constant from the energy of the quantum vacuum—reproduced the successes of dark matter and dark energy without invoking either. The coupling constant was derived from measured nuclear physics. Zero free parameters. No new particles. No new forces. This book takes the same formula and pushes it to its logical extremes.

For half a century, Vega was the most trusted star in astronomy—the zero point of the brightness scale, the calibration standard for every major telescope, the benchmark of stellar normalcy. Then, in 2006, two independent teams of astronomers discovered that everything we believed about it was wrong. Vega is not a calm, slowly spinning star.

April 13, 1970. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert are hurtling towards the moon in the Apollo 13 spacecraft, when an explosion rocks the ship. The cockpit grows dim, the air grows thin, and the instrument lights wink out. Moments later, the astronauts are forced to abandon the...

Why is the fine-structure constant approximately one over one hundred and thirty-seven? Why is the proton exactly 1836 times heavier than the electron? Why is gravity so absurdly weak compared to the other forces? For more than a century, physicists have measured the fundamental constants of nature with exquisite precision—yet no one can explain why they have the values they do. Three answers have been proposed. The constants are brute accidents with no deeper explanation. They will one day be derived from a final theory.

В мире науки есть множество явлений, которые кажутся невероятными, но мы вынуждены в них верить. Такие концепции, как корпускулярно-волновой дуализм света, бросают вызов привычному для нас пониманию реальности. Мы не можем увидеть темную материю, хотя она, по утверждению ученых, составляет 90% массы Вселенной. Большой взрыв—еще один пример: никто не был его свидетелем, но наука полагается на его следы как на основу современной космологии.
