Cosmology - Cosmic Inflation Quantum Worlds and Secrets of the Universe

Arnoud Varens

Sinopsis

Welcome to a journey through the depths of space and time, a voyage into the heart of the cosmos, and an exploration of the most profound mysteries our universe holds. This is a book about cosmology—a science that unveils the grandeur of the universe, its history, its structure, and its deepest secrets. It's a journey through the vast expanses of space, where galaxies collide, stars are born and die, and black holes lurk in cosmic shadows. But it's also a journey through the frontiers of human knowledge and imagination, where the quantum world meets the cosmic expanse.

In these pages, we'll embark on an odyssey to understand the universe from its earliest moments to its potential far-off future. We'll delve into the mind-bending concept of cosmic inflation, a theory that suggests the universe underwent a rapid expansion in the tiniest fraction of a second after its birth, and explore the idea that our universe might be just one of countless others within a vast multiverse.

But our journey doesn't stop there. We'll also peer into the quantum world, where the ordinary rules of reality break down, and delve into the intriguing notion of parallel universes—multiple worlds coexisting alongside our own, each with its own unique history and future.

Are we alone in the cosmos, or is life a common occurrence throughout the universe? What is the purpose of our existence in this vast cosmic tapestry?

As we embark on this cosmic adventure, keep in mind that you don't need to be an astrophysicist or a quantum physicist to join us. This journey is for anyone with a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe and our place in it. Whether you're a seasoned science enthusiast or someone encountering these concepts for the first time, we'll navigate the cosmos together, unraveling its mysteries one chapter at a time.

A Brave New World for Our Brave...

Judith Horstman

Not too long ago neuroscientists believed we were born with an assigned number of brain cells, and as they died they were never replaced-we were doomed to get along with ever decreasing cognitive abilities. But as Judith Horstman tells us, more current research tells us that our brains are constantly adapting to our experiences, and new neuronal pathways are being forged every minute.

Is That a Fact? - Frauds Quacks...

Dr. Joe Schwarcz

An entertaining and digestible volume that demystifies science
  
Eat this and live to 100. Don’t, and die. Today, hyperboles dominate the media, which makes parsing science from fiction an arduous task when deciding what to eat, what chemicals to avoid, and what’s best for the environment. In Is That a Fact?, bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz carefully navigates through the storm of misinformation to help us separate fact from folly and shrewdness from foolishness.  

Are GMOs really harmful? Or could they help developing countries? Which “miracle weight-loss foods” gained popularity through exuberant data dredging? Is BPA dangerous or just a victim of unforgiving media hype? Is organic better?

The Universe and the Teacup -...

K. C. Cole

From the acclaimed Los Angeles Times science writer, a wise, witty, and elegant study of how math provides practical solutions to everyday problems. Are the secrets of the universe written in words—or is it all about the digits? K. C. Cole follows up her paean to the power of physics, Sympathetic Vibrations, with this engaging and accessible guide to the might and majesty of mathematics. The Universe and the Teacup uses relatable examples and humorous prose to demonstrate math's ability to "translate the complexity of the world into manageable patterns." Cole shows how mathematical concepts illuminate everything from human risk-taking behavior to astronomical investigation, game theory to logic problems—not to mention the very structure of the universe itself. Brimming with trivia stressing the importance of math throughout history, this is a book both math nerds and the "innumerate" everyday person can enjoy in equal measure.
