Higher Physics

The product of research around the globe and interviews with dozens of prominent scientists, God's Equation tells us it is almost as though Einstein were God's mouthpiece, revealing the most fundamental truths about our larger environment, truths scientists are just now confirming.

The Sun, as our nearest star, is of enormous importance for life on Earth, providing the warm radiation and light which allowed complex life to evolve. The Sun plays a key role in influencing our climate, while solar storms and high-energy events can threaten our communication infrastructure and satellites.

Life isn’t so terrible for newly-coined physicist Mira Verborgen when she’s chosen for a cushy internship at CERN, located at the France-Switzerland border. After all, she gets to work side by side with dreamy physicist, Giancarlo Colombo, and be on the cutting edge of the latest particle accelerator experiments... That is, until she inadvertently becomes part of Dr. Orlov’s bonkers plan for world domination. Instead of exploring her budding relationship with Giancarlo, their relationship is cut short—along with their material existence. Indeed, the pair develop a startling and ...

The third and final book in the "Team Quantum" trilogy of superhero adventures! Now married, Mira Verborgen and Giancarlo Colombo have a problem. Turns out, there will be no honeymoon, not yet. And maybe not ever. After all, they'd just been informed that they will be going nuclear in three months. Literally. Their bodies are turning on them, and the more "super" they become, the faster they will explode. But maybe, just maybe there's an answer. It's a long shot, but it just might work. Then, the newlyweds can finally be alone... But first, they must stop the madman who caused this mess. ...

Buckle up for a joy ride through physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy. Drawing on conversations with hundreds of the world's top scientists and her own work as an award-winning science writer, Natalie Angier does the impossible: she makes science fascinating and seriously fun, even for those of us who, in Angier's words, "still can't tell the difference between a proton, a photon, and a moron".

The universe should be fun, and you’re about to discover an audiobook that understands that, weaving humor and wit into every minute so that you not only understand what you’re listening to, but enjoy the whole process.

The world of quantum physics is generally thought of as hopelessly esoteric. But, believe it or not, even the most mundane of everyday activities is profoundly influenced by the abstract and exotic world of the quantum. In Breakfast with Einstein, Chad Orzel illuminates the strange phenomena lurking just beneath the surface of our ordinary lives by digging into the surprisingly complicated physics involved in his (and anyone's) morning routine.

Parents and parents-to-be are bombarded with information, from what to expect to what to do (and not to do) when it happens. But what they may not realize is that from the chemistry of pregnancy tests to the vacuum physics of breastfeeding, there is fascinating science at the heart of every aspect of creating and raising a new human.

Did the 2013 Nobel Prize In Physics Make Einstein Turn In His Grave? The Higgs Fake – How Particle Physicists Fooled the Nobel Committee is a merciless critique of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and of the theoretical model on which the world’s most expensive experiment is based. Unzicker, a German physicist and award-winning science writer, argues that the reaction of the Swedish Academy to last year’s discovery appears to be a result of being beguiled by CERN’s attempts to justify the billions of dollars of public money being spent. The book starts off by claiming that the ...

There are thousands of planes above your head right now, but how do we keep track of all of them at the same time? Take yourself to virtual flight school and learn all about how planes fly, how we breathe on airplanes, and the technology behind hypersonic travel and how we’re able to fly faster than the speed of sound. You’ll also explore the world of aviation, from the Wright Brothers’ first flight to the future of airplanes in this bite-sized collection from Seeker, available for the first time in audio.

The "universe" refers to all "observable things", ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. A guide for an enjoyable visit to the universe, this small tome on fundamental physics, cosmology, Higgs bosons, time travel, and all that is unlike any other analogous book. Its scientific statements are correct or, at least, they coincide with the opinions held by the vast majority of experts. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure and things that we know that we do not know, or we do not understand.

Fireworks crackle and boom in the sky. Your friend laughs at a joke. Sounds are all around you. But what exactly is sound? And how does sound reach your ears? Listen to this audiobook to find out!
