Thorsett A: From Little Green Men to
Gravitational Waves: Story Pulsars

From Little Green Men to Gravitational Waves: Story Pulsars

A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)

This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory (Second Edition) and presents the theory of the evolution of density perturbations and relic gravity waves, the theory of cosmological inflation, and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly in a pedagogical way. These parts may serve as a detailed introduction to current research.Particle physics and cosmology enjoyed rapid development between the first and the second editions of this book. In the second edition, the numerical values of particle physics and cosmological parameters have been updated in accordance to contemporary data.

Exploring the Dark Side of the Universe

Gravitational-Wave Astronomy

Humans have always looked up at the sky and wondered. From ancient Babylonians tracking celestial objects on clay tablets to labs probing the subatomic realm, scientific inquiry has been driven by an innately human quest – a desire to understand, quite simply, where we fit in.&nbsp;A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE (and our place in it) tells the story of our search for meaning in a sprawling cosmic ocean. From ancient astrology to the Copernican revolution, from dark matter to our search for life outside of earth, it will take you on a journey through the discoveries that have propelled and continually overturned our understanding of the cosmos, the nature of reality, and ourselves. From a particle physicist at the forefront of cutting-edge research into the building blocks of the universe comes a spectacular celebration of our capacity for wonder. Written with clarity and simplicity, A BRIEF HISTORY tells you everything you need to know about the fundamentals of our universe, and our restless quest to understand our place in it.

How do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden? In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover. We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos. A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

How to Explore Outer Space Without Leaving Earth

The Radio Universe

A Guided Tour of the Solar System

Worlds Fantastic, Worlds Familiar

Accompanying the 4-part documentary series from multi-award-winning filmmaker, James Bluemel. It's been 63 years since Yuri Gagarin became the first human to ever go into space. Since then, only 676 people have followed him up there. But now with huge technological advances bridging the gap between our planet and all that lies beyond, that number is about to rise dramatically. Once Upon a Time in Space is the human story of how we've made it this far - the remarkable achievements, tragic losses, left-field experiments, renegade characters and ever-shifting powerplay - and where we're about to go. Featuring stunning full-colour photography from both personal collections of astronauts and NASA's archives, the human story of space is told through intimate and powerful testimony from the astronauts, scientists, engineers and space tourists who have lived it. Looking ahead as we take the first steps towards becoming an interplanetary species, Once Upon a Time in Space brings you closer to the incredible story of our next stage of evolution as the human species. Life on Earth will never be the same again.

DK How Stuff Works

If you're looking for simple, visual guide to all of the core sciences, this book is for you. If you wonder how airplanes stay in the air, how holograms are made, or whether viruses really are living creatures, How Science Works will reveal all. This book uses clear, easy-to-understand graphics to explain difficult concepts - not only the core science topics that eluded us at school, but also the cutting-edge science reported in the news, including the discovery of the Higgs boson, gravitational waves, and the mysteries of dark matter. This new edition is revised with latest facts, figures, and discoveries, including new pages on artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

On the Trail of Extraterrestrial Treasures and the Secrets Inside Them

The Meteorite Hunters

Close your eyes and imagine the last moments of a massive star, large as the Solar System. As the mass of its core approaches a fatidic value, the enormous fabric collapses. The star plasma streams like a monstrous wave inward towards the center of the star. In a fraction of a second the core of the star becomes as dense as an atomic nucleus. And then a mighty outward shock wave forms, disrupting the whole structure, the star becoming almost as bright as the whole galaxy. This explosion is a supernova!Chinese observers studied with care these events since ancient times; the observation of these explosions by Tycho Brahe and Kepler was crucial for the adoption of the Copernican system. Do you know that each drop of your blood contains iron atoms produced in these cosmic cataclysms? We are literally star dust, disseminated in the galactic medium by supernovae.This book guides the reader in the discovery of these rare events, the most spectacular that the Universe can offer. Present models reproduce the explosion only with difficulty, as if some details were wrong, or a whole aspect of physics was missing from the equations. Different aspects of these events are illustrated, as well as their historical and scientific importance and their crucial role in the evolution of the galaxy and the living organisms.
