  Do Aliens Speak Physics? - And...

  A hilarious, mind-bending investigation into how much humans and aliens might have in common, scientifically speaking—from a best-selling cartoonist and acclaimed physicist. 
  When the long–awaited day dawns and the aliens finally arrive on Earth, they might eat us and destroy the planet—or, just maybe, they might share the secrets of the Universe with us. When that time comes, will we be able to cross the communication barrier to beg for our lives? If the aliens do hold out those precious jewels of knowledge, will we even be able to grasp them? 
  It’s long been assumed, in both science fiction and real scientific efforts to communicate with hypothetical aliens, that math and physics could serve as a universal language connecting us with extraterrestrial minds. But as humanity draws ever closer to the possibility of an interplanetary future and expands its agelong search for alien life and intelligence, beloved author and physicist Daniel Whiteson and best–selling cartoonist Andy Warner wonder if we should be so sure. In Do Aliens Speak Physics?, they take readers on a wild adventure to the edges of space–time, science, and the imagination to investigate whether an alien–human mind meld could ever be achieved. 
  As ultimately mind–altering as it is hilarious, Do Aliens Speak Physics? will leave you with a view of the Universe—and humanity—that’s stranger and more marvelous than before.

  Face In The Moon The (De Facie...

  Plutarch

  In 100 AD, Plutarch wrote what would become the first science fiction about the civilisation on the moon, appended to a rigorous scientific analysis of current knowledge about the moon. 
   
  Orbital mechanics, optics, atmospheric refraction, lunar geography, planetary and stellar composition, xenobotany, gravitation, heliocentricity, eclipse geometry and more are discussed as the state of the art is unpacked. Often startlingly modern for a work that is two millennia old, it serves as a reminder that science began long, long before norms of the modern scientific era were established.  
   
  The first half reads as genuine natural philosophy. Plutarch's speakers debate the nature of the lunar surface, rejecting the notion of a perfect celestial sphere made up of fire and ether in favour of a body with mountains, valleys, and shadow-casting terrain. They examine reflected light, atmospheric optics, and the mechanics of eclipse. One speaker advances a proto-gravitational argument: that "down" is a local condition, that objects fall toward whatever body they belong to, and that the moon holds its own just as Earth holds ours. 
  The second half carries that physical moon into mythological territory. A soul narrative describes the lunar surface as a way-station between lives, a realm where mind and spirit undergo staged separation before returning to the cosmos or descending again to Earth. Discussing the voyages taken as the mind separates from the soul in journeys around the moon, it serves as both theological and science-fictional. 
  Perfect for readers drawn to the history of science and the speculations that arise from it, this book is the first known moment empirical observation and speculative reasoning combined, in what would  millennia later be called hard sci fi.

  The Cardiac Fulcrum - The...

  A crucial point of this research was the discovery of a myocardial support that we have termed cardiac fulcrum. The heart cannot be anatomically suspended and free in the thoracic cavity because it would be impossible to eject blood at a speed of 200 cm/s. Consequently, it was necessary for it to have a point of attachment, which was identified and called cardiac fulcrum (lever supporting point). In this supporting point, the muscle fibers are inserted in its structure of connective, chondroid or osseous nature, according to the specimens analyzed. All the hearts (bovine, porcine and human) studied in our investigations with anatomical and histological techniques certified this binding. The fibers that give origin to the myocardium, as well as those at its end, are attached to the fulcrum, leaving the rest of the muscular structure free in the mediastinum. Moreover, the cardiac fulcrum is seen in human adult and gestational ultrasounds, in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
