The Atoms of Space

Balungi Francis

Beschreibung

"I had this feeling that space was not empty but here we're - its building blocks" - Space time magazine

What are the Ingredients of space? Is space physical? Is space Empty? -This book presents the building blocks of space.

This thought experimental book is a good introduction to the ingredients of space and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1879. It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should expect that he/she will have to concentrate hard on what Balungi says but the rewards are significant. He is a talented physicist and a good writer. If you read it carefully and stop to think about the message as it unfolds then you will get a worthwhile if imperfect picture of what the theory is saying and how it was invented,It's buried treasure and you will have to do some digging. It is a really serious attempt to do all that can be done in an informal style. Balungi explains and re-defines Einstein's theory of general relativity, Dark matter, black holes, Dark energy, elementary particles, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the building blocks of space-time. This wonderful and exciting book is optimal for physics graduate students and researchers. Not since James Maxwell's celebrated best-seller a dynamical theory of the electromagnetic theory and Albert Einstein:Relativity: The Special and The General Theory A Popular Exposition has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. This is a First Edition to Atoms of Space.

The Voyage of Sorcerer II - The...

J. Craig Venter, David Ewing Duncan

Upon completing his historic work on the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter declared that he would sequence the genetic code of all life on earth. Thus began a fifteen-year quest to collect DNA from the world's oldest and most abundant form of life: microbes. Boarding the Sorcerer II, a 100-foot sailboat turned research vessel, Venter traveled over 65,000 miles around the globe to sample ocean water and the microscopic life within. 
 
 
 
In The Voyage of Sorcerer II, Venter and science writer David Ewing Duncan tell the remarkable story of these expeditions and of the momentous discoveries that ensued—of plant-like bacteria that get their energy from the sun, proteins that metabolize vast amounts of hydrogen, and microbes whose genes shield them from ultraviolet light. The result was a massive library of millions of unknown genes, thousands of unseen protein families, and new lineages of bacteria that revealed the unimaginable complexity of life on earth. Yet despite this exquisite diversity, Venter encountered sobering reminders of how human activity is disturbing the delicate microbial ecosystem that nurtures life on earth. In the face of unprecedented climate change, Venter and Duncan show how we can harness the microbial genome to develop alternative sources of energy, food, and medicine that might ultimately avert our destruction.

Ballistic - The New Science of...

Henry Abbott

Blending cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, award-winning data journalist and competitive amateur athlete Henry Abbott reveals that we are on the cusp of a new era in sports medicine, built around the science of ballistic movements—leaping and landing—and the unique fingerprint of your body's physics. 
 
 
 
Abbott's inspiring narrative tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes move and why they get hurt. Applying machine learning and lessons from biomechanics, medicine, and physiology, doctors at P3 can now detect elevated risk of an ACL tear or a pulled hamstring like an echocardiogram can see warning signs of a heart attack. 
 
 
 
Through riveting stories of elite athletes overcoming injuries and pushing themselves to the limit, Abbott presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to protect our bodies. And he suggests that we can all harness the science of ballistic movement not just to run fast or jump high but to move with joy and lead fulfilling athletic lives.

Consciousness - Where Did It...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What is consciousness, and why does it matter? Is it a byproduct of the brain, a reflection of the cosmos, or the very fabric of reality itself? Consciousness – Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going? takes listeners on a profound journey through the mysteries of awareness, exploring both the science and the spirit of mind. 
From leading theories such as Integrated Information Theory and Global Workspace Theory, to deeper explorations of memory, dreams, the self, and even the quantum question, this audiobook illuminates the many faces of consciousness. It traces the evolution of awareness - from the earliest stirrings of life’s inner eye, to the possibility of a universal consciousness shaping the cosmos. 
With clarity and depth, the chapters reveal consciousness as both a scientific puzzle and a timeless mystery. Is the self an illusion? Can dreams open gateways to hidden dimensions of mind? What role does the body play in shaping awareness? And most importantly, what might the future of consciousness hold for humanity and beyond? 
Whether you are fascinated by neuroscience, intrigued by philosophy, or drawn to the spiritual dimensions of mind, this audiobook offers a sweeping exploration of one of the greatest questions of existence: Where did consciousness come from - and where is it going?

Legionella - Causes Solutions...

Lilly Richardsen

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. The bacterium is found naturally in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes, but it becomes a concern in man-made water systems. Legionella thrives in warm water environments, particularly when water is stagnant or not properly maintained. Some of the most common places where Legionella can grow include cooling towers, hot tubs, air conditioning units, and plumbing systems, all of which can provide the ideal conditions for bacterial growth.
The first documented outbreak of Legionnaires' disease occurred in 1976 at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia, where over 200 individuals became ill, and 34 people died. This event led to the identification of the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, which was named after the American Legion convention. Since then, Legionnaires' disease has been associated with various outbreaks, particularly in large buildings, hospitals, and hotels, where water systems are extensive and difficult to manage.
Legionella bacteria are transmitted through the inhalation of aerosolized water droplets contaminated with the bacteria. This can occur when people breathe in mist, vapor, or water droplets from sources like air conditioning units, hot tubs, or showers. The bacteria can infect the lungs, leading to symptoms similar to pneumonia, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, and muscle aches. In severe cases, the disease can cause respiratory failure, organ damage, and even death, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, smokers, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
