Sinopsis

Dark Matter Basics explores the compelling mystery of dark matter, which makes up approximately 85% of the universe's matter. The book investigates the evidence for its existence, primarily through observations like galaxy rotation curves, where galaxies rotate faster than expected based on visible matter alone. It also examines how dark matter influences the cosmos' large-scale structure and evolution. 

 
The book provides necessary background in Newtonian gravity and general relativity, setting the stage for in-depth discussions. The book explores cosmological evidence from sources like the cosmic microwave background and gravitational lensing, alongside leading particle candidates such as WIMPs, axions, and sterile neutrinos. It also assesses alternative theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND).

 
The book uniquely bridges theoretical models with experimental searches, explaining techniques used in dark matter detection, including experiments at CERN. It provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing controversies, presenting different viewpoints to encourage informed conclusions. The book's approach is designed to be accessible, avoiding jargon and offering clear definitions. It progresses by first establishing the foundational knowledge, then exploring the evidence and theories, and finally analyzing alternative explanations. This makes complex topics in science, physics, astrophysics, and cosmology understandable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the universe's enigmas.

    In the year 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. 
    Google’s newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be born fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play. 
    In this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road. 
    When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society’s next “Apollo moment.”

    We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways.In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller.We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too.For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago?And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today?Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles?There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect.The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.

    Just over half a century since Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the lunar surface, a new space race to the Moon is well underway and rapidly gaining momentum. Laying out a vision for the next fifty years, Back to the Moon is astrophysicist Joseph Silk's persuasive and impassioned case for putting scientific discovery at the forefront of lunar exploration. 
     
     
     
    The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world. NASA aims to build a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and exploration, while European and Chinese space agencies are planning lunar villages and the mining of precious resources dwindling here on Earth. Powerful international and commercial interests are driving the race to revisit the Moon, but lunar infrastructures could also open breathtaking vistas onto the cosmos. Silk describes how the colonization of the Moon could usher in a thrilling new age of scientific exploration, and lays out what the next fifty years of lunar science might look like. With lunar telescopes of unprecedented size situated in permanently dark polar craters and on the far side of the Moon, we could finally be poised to answer some of the most profound questions confronting humankind, including whether we are alone in the Universe and what our cosmic origins are.

    ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.
