Einstein's Unfinished Dream -...

Don Lincoln

Humanity has long looked to the sky and marveled at the world around us. We've wondered why the world is the way it is and whether it has to be that way. For millennia these questions were theological, transitioning to philosophical during the Enlightenment, but the discipline that now drives progress is science. We now look forward, hoping to make additional connections and create a better understanding of the ultimate laws of nature. We dream of a time when we have developed a theory of everything—a theory that answers all questions. 
 
 
 
There is so much that we don't know. This book is up front about our ignorance and spends some time dispelling some of the more popular theories. It then redirects the listener's attention to how we will actually move forward, by identifying things we don't yet understand and engaging with the experiments that will drive our comprehension. 
 
 
 
Einstein's Unfinished Dream explores the cutting-edge research of modern particle physicists that pushes us slowly towards a theory of everything. Marshalling decades of experience in distilling high-level scientific concepts, Lincoln invites listeners into the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, matter/antimatter asymmetry, quark and lepton flavor, and other phenomena that have puzzled humanity for centuries.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Other...

Greg Cetus

The Rose-breasted Grosbeak often stays out of sight among the treetops. However, its rich melodious song consisting of whistled phrases, somewhat similar to the American Robin's voice can often be heard in spring and summer. Where the range of this species overlaps with that of the Black-headed Grosbeak on the Great Plains, the two sometimes interbreed. This binaural audio recording features the Rose-breasted Grosbeak birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, American Crown with American Goldfinch, Gray Catbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drumming in background.

Genetics - The Blueprint of Life...

Jeron Iris

Genetics is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. It seeks to understand how traits are passed down from parents to offspring and how these traits are expressed in living organisms. At the core of genetics lies the concept of genes, which are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain the instructions for the development and functioning of organisms. These instructions guide the creation of proteins, which carry out the majority of biological functions necessary for life.
Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases. While many traits are inherited in a predictable manner, some can be influenced by environmental factors or interactions between multiple genes.
The study of genetics dates back to the mid-1800s with the work of Gregor Mendel, who is often considered the father of modern genetics. Through his experiments with pea plants, Mendel established the basic principles of inheritance, including the ideas of dominant and recessive traits. His work laid the foundation for understanding how traits are inherited in predictable patterns, although the molecular mechanisms were not fully understood at the time.
