  “Mystic Matter – The Strangest Stuff in Space” is an awe-inspiring deep dive into the bizarre and bewildering materials that make up our universe. This 3-in-1 collection takes you far beyond everyday matter into the heart of cosmic mystery, exploring the strangest and most elusive elements of existence. Through Mystical Matter, you’ll unravel the secrets of dark matter, antimatter, and strange particles that challenge the very rules of classical physics. Why can’t we see dark matter? What happens when antimatter collides with matter? These questions and more are explored in ways both captivating and understandable. 
  In Cosmic Alchemy, you’ll journey through the lifecycle of stars, watching them forge the elements in massive furnaces before dying in dramatic explosions that scatter their atomic creations across the cosmos. This book illuminates how the universe transforms—from hydrogen to gold—and reveals the mystical science behind the periodic table written in the stars. 
  Finally, The Quantum Darkness plunges into the smallest scales of existence, where particles pop in and out of reality and the vacuum of space is anything but empty. You’ll encounter quantum fluctuations, strange forces, and the very limits of our scientific understanding. 
  Whether you're a casual space enthusiast or a seasoned science lover, this book provides a thrilling, accessible, and mind-expanding tour of the most puzzling phenomena in modern astrophysics. Discover how the invisible shapes the visible, how stars play alchemist, and how our universe is woven together by forces still beyond our grasp. With rich insights and vivid explanations, Mystic Matter invites you to explore a universe far stranger—and more wondrous—than fiction.

  In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls "the Rosetta stone of the human mind."

  In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
  		
  		Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
  		Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
  		Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
  		Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
  		Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
  		Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
  		Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don’t need to worry about cholesterol?
  		Should I be taking vitamin D?

  Gravity's Hidden Partner -...

  Dark matter is one of the most perplexing and elusive concepts in modern astrophysics. It was first proposed in the early 20th century when astronomers and physicists observed that galaxies and galaxy clusters seemed to be moving in ways that couldn't be explained by the visible matter alone. Despite the fact that dark matter cannot be directly seen or measured through conventional means, its existence has been inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. 
  The concept of dark matter emerged after astronomer Fritz Zwicky made an important observation in the 1930s. He noticed that galaxy clusters were moving much faster than they should have been based on the amount of visible matter present in them. In other words, there seemed to be an invisible force or substance that was exerting additional gravitational pull on these galaxies. However, it wasn't until the 1970s when Vera Rubin made similar findings in her studies of galactic rotation curves that the theory of dark matter gained significant traction. 
  Rubin's work revealed that the outer edges of galaxies were rotating faster than expected, based on the amount of visible matter present in them. If only the visible stars, gas, and dust were taken into account, the outer regions should have been moving slower, but they weren't. This discrepancy suggested that there was more mass in these galaxies than what could be seen. This unseen mass was later attributed to dark matter, a substance that doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional instruments.
