Summary

Surprising Space Facts reveals the universe's astonishing realities, exploring cosmic phenomena and challenging our understanding of physics. Did you know it rains diamonds on Neptune and Uranus, or that dark matter and dark energy constitute most of the universe yet remain largely unknown? This book bridges astrophysics, planetary science, and cosmology, presenting these mind-bending truths with only a basic understanding of science needed.

 
The book examines peculiar planetary weather, delves into the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, and investigates unusual astronomical objects like rogue planets and pulsars. By drawing on data from telescopes like Hubble and James Webb, it offers a comprehensive overview of modern astrophysics without delving into complex math. This approach makes the book accessible while exploring a wide range of fascinating topics.

 
Structured as a journey of discovery, Surprising Space Facts begins with fundamental principles, progresses through bizarre phenomena, and culminates with a discussion on the universe's origins and potential future. It emphasizes how understanding extreme conditions on exoplanets aids the search for extraterrestrial life and informs our understanding of climate change on Earth, making it valuable for students, educators, and anyone curious about space exploration.

On Time - Causality and the...

Jan Zaanen

This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
 
 
 
The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

Son of Apollo - The Adventures...

Christopher A. Roosa, James Lovell

Christopher A. Roosa grew up the eldest son of Apollo 14 astronaut and command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa. As a child of the space program, Christopher had a ringside seat at the dinner table of one of twenty-four Americans who had either entered lunar orbit or landed on the moon. The first book written by an offspring of an Apollo astronaut to focus on growing up in that era, Son of Apollo tells the inside story of the life of his father, a man who had a remarkable career despite always believing his air force career was "off-track," from his initial application to the service to his removal from the prime crew of Apollo 13 and his subsequent assignment to Apollo 14. During the Apollo 13 mission and recovery, Stuart played an integral role in developing the procedures to return the crew to Earth safely. The focus—and the pressure—of the entire Apollo program then shifted to the Apollo 14 mission. If the Apollo program was to continue, Stuart and the Apollo 14 crew would need to get safely to the moon, land, and return. 
 
 
 
In writing about his father's career, Christopher Roosa also shows us a familial side of the Apollo experience, from the daily struggles of growing up in the shadow of a father who was necessarily away in training most of the year to the expectations involved in being an astronaut's son.

How To Think About AI - A Guide...

Richard Susskind

In recent years, there has been massive public and professional interest in Artificial Intelligence. But people are confused about what AI is, what it can and cannot do, what is yet to come, and whether AI is good or bad for humanity and civilization—whether it will provide solutions to mankind's major challenges or become our gravest existential threat. There is also confusion about how we should regulate AI and where we should draw moral boundaries on its use. 
 
 
 
In How To Think About AI, Richard Susskind draws on his experience of working on AI since the early 1980s. For Susskind, balancing the benefits and threats of artificial intelligence is the defining challenge of our age. He explores the history of AI and possible scenarios for its future. His views on AI are not always conventional. He positions ChatGPT and generative AI as no more than the latest chapter in the ongoing story of AI and claims we are still at the foothills of developments. He argues that to think responsibly about the impact of AI requires us to look well beyond today's technologies, suggesting that not-yet-invented technologies will have far greater impact on us in the 2030s than the tools we have today. This leads Susskind to discuss the possibility of conscious machines, magnificent new AI-enabled virtual worlds, and the impact of AI on the evolution of biological humans.
