Showing titles in Cosmology

Reunimos en esta edición dos trabajos descatalogados. El primero es la introducción completa de Escohotado a su traducción de Principios matemáticos de la filosofía natural (1687) de Isaac Newton, que fue reducido a la mitad para la versión editada por Tecnos y aquí recuperamos íntegro, como obra que se sostiene por sí sola por su vasto análisis sobre la evolución de las ideas cosmológicas. El segundo lleva por título La antinaturaleza, originalmente publicado como epílogo de De physis a polis, y que constituye una de las primeras críticas de la posmodernidad y su negación ...

David Christian, historian and best-selling author of Origin Story, is renowned for pioneering the emerging discipline of Big History, which surveys the whole of the past. But with Future Stories, he casts his sharp analytical eye forward, offering an introduction to the strange world of the future, and a guide to what we think we know about it at all scales, from the predictive mechanisms of single-celled organisms and tomato plants to the merging of colossal galaxies billions of years from now.

In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them, leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics. These include Graham's number, which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way, your head would collapse into a singularity; TREE(3), whose finite value could never be reached before the universe reset itself; and 10^{-120}, which measures the desperately unlikely balance of energy the universe needs to exist....

If you’re looking for a Science book that ignores the more unpleasant things that have been witnessed either as physical evidence or by first hand descriptions and knowledge, you had better just shut the book right now. If you are looking for a book that will comfort you, you also have come to the wrong place. If you really want to learn about how the earth got to be the way it is today regardless of what you were told in the past, please continue. You will find that the lies and half-truths that you have been told don’t change the past, they cover it up. Bizarre Is Not So Bizarre ...

"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.

According to some theoretical physicists, the universe exists by a long series of accidental and fortuitous events. When we examine the scientific evidence of our universe, we find that it began when nothing existed. Upon the commencement of our universe, precise events took place at specific moments of Planck Time, in exact balance with each other, to exact a specific outcome. When we build a house, the same process ensues. We have an idea. We draft a plan. We engineer the plan so that we will know ahead of time whether the house can be built by a specific procedure. We begin to build and ...

This book is a translation, with extensive annotation and comments, of one of Ibn al-Arabi's key treatises on the subject of time. After elaborating on the different theological opinions on the subject of eternity and how it applies to divinity, the Greatest Master explains his own unique concept and relates it to our notion of time and change, and the existence of the World with respect to the ultimate transcendent Being; God, to Whom the description of eternity is attributed. Ibn al-Arabi makes it clear that Eternity is the negation of a beginning, without any (finite or infinite) ...

We are a minuscule part of an incredible continuum: a chain of events spanning 13.8 billion years, with an infinite future. But what does that future hold? And will we ever truly understand our cosmic home? The Universe In a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulation - the remarkable fusion of technology and science that, over the last century, has allowed us to understand the distant past and far future of the universe.

Let us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born.

We are the Pole Star!

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.

The Folding of the Cosmos A Structural Universe Built from Threadoni and Luxidoni — A New Physics Rooted in the Threads and Luxidoni Light TheoryNot a Bang. Not a Curve. Not a Fabric. A Thread That Folds Into Everything. Inventor and theorist Samir Hanna Safar introduces a bold new physics in this groundbreaking theory. The universe is not built from particles, fields, or spacetime fabric — but from Threadoni, the universe's foundational lines, and Luxidoni, rotating energy discs that ride them. These two elements arise: light, matter, gravity, memory, and the structure itself. - Light ...

With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there's more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe?

Were ancient Greek philosophers right about reality being only an illusion? What was really the biggest blunder of Einstein's life? Is everything we've been taught about the universe incorrect?
