What if everything you thought you knew about reality… was incomplete? How can a particle be in two places at once? Why does simply observing something change its behavior? And how can two objects be “connected” across vast distances with no visible link? This audiobook breaks down the mind-bending logic of quantum mechanics into something even complete beginners can follow — without dumbing it down. With engaging, bite-sized chapters, it brings you inside the bizarre but beautiful logic that shapes the tiniest parts of our universe… and influences far more than you might think. You’ll finally understand concepts like entanglement, the photoelectric effect, and quantum uncertainty — but more importantly, you’ll discover how these ideas connect to technology, philosophy, and even the human body. You’ll learn:Why the double-slit experiment is the weirdest and most important experiment in physicsHow observation can change reality, and what that really meansWhat Einstein got right — and wrong — about quantum mechanicsWhy energy is quantized, and what that means for atoms and lightHow mathematics became physics’ secret weaponWhat perturbation theory is, and how it helps predict the unpredictableThe surprising role of conservation laws and symmetriesWhat quantum physics tells us about the nature of time and causalityHow technology like lasers, transistors, and MRI depends on quantum principlesWhat modern science says about the human body as a quantum system Forget lifeless textbooks. This is science with all the wonder left in.Start listening — and discover the quantum side of reality you were never taught in school.Ver livro
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.Ver livro
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is a rapidly growing field in fintech, having grown from $700 million to $100 billion over the past three years alone. But the lack of reliable information makes this area both risky and murky. In this practical book, experienced securities attorney Alexandra Damsker explains DeFi's role in both blockchain and finance. Ideal for developers looking to build decentralized applications (DApps), this book compares DeFi to traditional bank-led fintech and explains why DeFi is exploding in interest and popularity. You'll explore the growing array of DApps and platforms in various categories, including their benefits and drawbacks, and learn how DeFi tools work together from the perspective of both users and developers. With this book, you will learn how DeFi fits into the blockchain and fintech worlds; understand why it's important to move beyond the banking system; explore the tools for building a useful, functional DeFi application; and learn the risks, benefits, regulatory concerns, and unresolved issues in this nascent and fast-growing industry. You'll also see which technologies are well-positioned to be incorporated into DeFi blockchains in the near future and assess your own risk level to determine which strategies are most appropriate.Ver livro

Geratology is the scientific study of aging, encompassing its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. While often confused with geriatrics, which focuses on medical care for older adults, geratology takes a broader approach, examining aging as a lifelong process that affects individuals and societies in complex ways. Understanding geratology is crucial as global life expectancy rises and aging populations reshape economic, healthcare, and social structures. The origins of geratology trace back to early philosophical and medical inquiries into longevity. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars explored aging as a natural phenomenon, while modern scientific advancements have provided deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Over the past century, geratology has evolved into an interdisciplinary field, drawing from biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to analyze how people age and how societies can better support aging populations. At its core, geratology investigates the biological changes that occur with age. These include cellular senescence, genetic factors, and the gradual decline of organ function. Research into longevity has uncovered key processes such as telomere shortening, oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in age-related diseases. While aging is an inevitable process, scientific advancements continue to explore ways to slow its progression and improve quality of life in later years.Ver livro
