The Celestial Menace

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

Journey into the depths of space and time as we unravel the mysteries of Nemesis, a cosmic companion star that holds the key to Earth's past, present, and future. Prepare to be captivated by this enthralling exploration of celestial phenomena, mass extinctions, and the resilience of life on our planet.

In this comprehensive and thought-provoking book, we delve into the scientific evidence surrounding the Nemesis hypothesis, a theory that proposes a cyclical pattern of cometary bombardment triggered by the gravitational influence of a hidden companion star. Discover the compelling arguments in favor of this theory and the controversies that have swirled around it for decades.

Through vivid storytelling and accessible explanations, we transport you to the scenes of past cosmic impacts, revealing the devastating effects these events have had on Earth's ecosystems and the evolution of life. From the Chicxulub impact that wiped out the dinosaurs to the Tunguska event in Siberia, these cataclysmic collisions have shaped our planet's history in profound ways.

But the Nemesis hypothesis doesn't just focus on the past. It also raises unsettling questions about the future. Could a future encounter with Nemesis trigger another mass extinction event? And if so, what can we do to mitigate this cosmic threat? We explore these questions with rigor and clarity, examining potential strategies for planetary defense and the challenges we face in safeguarding our planet from celestial hazards.

Beyond the scientific exploration, we also explore the cultural, philosophical, and existential implications of the Nemesis hypothesis. What does it mean to live in a universe where cosmic forces can shape our destiny? How do we grapple with the fragility of life and the vastness of time and space? These are just some of the profound questions that this book tackles, inviting readers to contemplate their place in the cosmos and the interconnectedness of all life.

With its captivating narrative, thought-provoking insights, and stunning visuals, this book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by astronomy, Earth's history, and the future of our planet. Join us on this cosmic journey as we confront the celestial menace and uncover the secrets that lie hidden in the darkness beyond our world.

Quantum God

Philip Gardiner

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

Do you believe in God? If so, which one? Is it the Christian all-knowing, all-seeing father of Jesus? Is it Allah of Islam? The many deities of Hinduism? Or are you one of those that believes in God but not religion?

Whichever box you tick on the form, you have some kind of belief. Even if you're an atheist, you believe there is no God. That we all came from nothing. But there are massive questions that mankind has asked from the very beginning. Where did everything come from? Is there a meaning to our lives? Are we alone in the universe?

These questions and many more have fascinated mankind from the moment he could reason. And eventually we created a thing called science to discover the answers. To many, science eradicated the need for God to answer all the questions we could not answer. Delete faith and replace with scientific facts. The problem is that science has not yet answered all of the questions and many believe it never will. Or has it?

Today we are beginning to understand the complexities and even strangeness of the sub-atomic world. This new quantum realm is opening up new avenues of research and new inventions. All things are made of particles. The entire universe is formed from them. And now we are creating quantum computers that think at the quantum level. What answers will the union of artificial intelligence and this amazing quantum world bring? Will we now have the answers to the ultimate questions?

This is the story of the new scientific world of particle physics and the amazing unseen world it reveals.

Evolutionary Intelligence - How...

W. Russell Neuman

It is natural for us to fear artificial intelligence. But does Siri really want to kill us? Perhaps we are falling into the trap of projecting human traits onto the machines we might build. In Evolutionary Intelligence, Neuman offers a surprisingly positive vision in which computational intelligence compensates for the well-recognized limits of human judgment, improves decision making, and actually increases our agency. Neuman takes the listener on an exciting, fast-paced ride, all the while making a convincing case about a revolution in computationally augmented human intelligence. 
 
 
 
Neuman argues that, just as the wheel made us mobile and machines made us stronger, the migration of artificial intelligence from room-sized computers to laptops to our watches, smart glasses, and even smart contact lenses will transform day-to-day human decision making. If intelligence is the capacity to match means with ends, then augmented intelligence can offer the ability to adapt to changing environments as we face the ultimate challenge of long-term survival. Tapping into a global interest in technology's potential impacts on society, economics, and culture, Evolutionary Intelligence demonstrates that our future depends on our ability to computationally compensate for the limitations of a human cognitive system that has only recently graduated from hunting and gathering.
