Sinopse

Speed Facts explores the fascinating concept of speed, from the leisurely pace of animal locomotion to the theoretical limits imposed by relativity and quantum mechanics. It emphasizes that our fascination with speed isn't just about breaking records, but also about understanding the fundamental constraints that govern motion in the universe. Did you know that terminal velocity limits the speed of a skydiver, or that the speed of light is considered the ultimate cosmic speed limit? The book progresses from basic physics concepts like velocity and acceleration to real-world examples like high-speed vehicles and spacecraft, and then delves into the science behind the speed of sound and light. Speed Facts uniquely examines both achievements in speed and the limitations that physics imposes, giving a grounded view of what is possible. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of speed, connecting physics with engineering, biology, and even space travel, and presents information in an accessible way for anyone curious about science.

    A 48-Lecture Odyssey Through the Architecture of Thought in Animals, Fungi, and Swarms 
    From octopus arms that think for themselves to slime molds that solve mazes without neurons, NeuroZoology takes listeners on an astonishing journey through the minds of creatures great and small—and some without brains at all. 
    Spanning 48 richly narrated lectures optimized for audiobook format, this course redefines what it means to think, feel, decide, and remember in the animal kingdom. With the rigor of neuroscience and the wonder of natural history, it explores the evolutionary inventions that gave rise to cognition: mycelial signaling networks, insect mushroom bodies, echolocation in bats and whales, grid cells in birds and rats, mirror neurons in apes and parrots, and the tools and cultures of corvids, cephalopods, and primates. 
    Structured as a tour through deep time and neurodiverse lifeforms, NeuroZoology challenges anthropocentric models of intelligence and introduces a radically ecological view of the mind. You’ll meet brains that regenerate themselves, brains that operate without a cortex, and collective intelligences where no individual is in charge—but the group computes nonetheless. 
    Whether you’re a neuroscientist, ethologist, educator, or simply someone who wonders what it’s like to be a squid—or a bee, or a bird—this course will change how you think about thinking. 
    It is not just a study of nervous systems. It’s a meditation on what minds are, where they reside, and how many ways nature has solved the problem of cognition.

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
    There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?  
    Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.  
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.  
    Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.
