Em 2016 Stephen Hawking participou da série de palestras BBC Reith Lectures, promovida pela rede de televisão britânica BBC e transmitida pela rádio BBC 4. A cada ano uma figura proeminente em sua área é convidada a discorrer sobre temas relevantes. Naqueles meses de janeiro e fevereiro, Hawking falou sobre um assunto que há décadas ocupa lugar de destaque em suas pesquisas: os buracos negros.

Desde Einstein, o mundo não via um cientista tão reverenciado quanto Stephen Hawking. Com seu trabalho revolucionário em física e cosmologia, ele encantou milhões de leitores com a origem do universo e a natureza dos buracos negros, além de inspirar todos pela coragem e determinação que mostrou em sua luta contra a doença do neurônio motor. Agora, nesta reunião póstuma de seus trabalhos, podemos conhecer seus pensamentos a respeito das grandes questões que povoam nossas mentes desde os primórdios e daquelas mais prementes na atualidade.

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!

Here is a book JAM-PACKED WITH FACTS and secrets from the Tarot.

For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence.

Spectroscopy, the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation, may sound complex and esoteric, but at its heart lies a simple and profound idea: the colors of light can reveal the secrets of the universe. From the examination of distant stars to the analysis of molecules in a laboratory, spectroscopy is the key that unlocks the hidden stories encoded in light.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars twinkle in the night sky and galaxies swirl in the abyss, a remarkable dance of light and matter unfolds—a dance that has captivated the human imagination for centuries. This dance, illuminated by the science of spectroscopy, is what this book seeks to explore and explain.

This book, Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy, is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos.

O tempo não é um conceito abstrato. É uma substância material que ocupa todo o universo e se deforma, vibra, oscila. De Newton a Einstein, de Planck ao relógio cósmico, foi protagonista de metamorfoses vertiginosas, fascinantes e monstruosas. O tempo flui? Ou está parado? E como é medido? Como a gravidade o retarda? E como os buracos negros conseguem pará-lo? Sempre vivemos no tempo, que, no entanto, não é eterno.

En El universo en una caja, el profesor de cosmología Andrew Pontzen, explica de una manera clara y rigurosa qué son las simulaciones, esos códigos informáticos con los que los científicos han podido recrear el universo y profundizar en su historia, poniendo a prueba por primera vez ideas centenarias. Esta suerte de manual fundamental para amantes de la astronomía, que aún está desplegando sus capacidades, replantea lo que creemos saber sobre los agujeros negros o la materia cósmica para arrojar nuevas luces sobre nuestra realidad.

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?
