A journey through some of mathematics' prickliest conundrums - and why they matter

Stewart I: Reaching for the Extreme

Reaching for the Extreme

How the Quest for the Biggest, Fewest and Weirdest Makes Maths

Big Think's Best Science Book of 2024 A theoretical physicist takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey to discover how the universe generates everything from nothing at all. "If you want to know what's really going on in the realms of relativity and particle physics, read this book" —Sean Carroll, bestselling author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe In Waves in an Impossible Sea, physicist Matt Strassler tells a startling tale of elementary particles, human experience, and empty space. He begins with a simple mystery of motion—our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second, and yet we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil?&nbsp; &nbsp; The reason, Strassler reveals, is that empty space is a sea, albeit a paradoxical one. Much like water and air, it ripples in various ways, and we ourselves, made from its ripples, can move through space as effortlessly as waves crossing an ocean. Deftly weaving together daily experience and fundamental physics—the musical universe, the enigmatic quantum, cosmic fields, and the Higgs boson—Strassler shows us how all things, familiar and unfamiliar, emerge from what seems like nothing at all.&nbsp; &nbsp; Accessible and profound, Waves in an Impossible Sea is the ultimate guide to our place in the universe.&nbsp;

Private Equity For Dummies

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

The CAR-1000 Scale

Human civilization now has a universal rating system. In The CAR-1000 Scale, James Edmund Carpenter II delivers the first complete execution of a 1,000-point framework designed to answer one question with rigor: How advanced is human civilization, considered as a whole? Drawing on the locked architecture established in Book 12, this volume measures all eleven categories-Energy Harnessing, Information &amp; Intelligence, Societal &amp; Governance, Matter &amp; Precision, Biological &amp; Life Systems, Systemic Health, Wisdom &amp; Ethics, Expansion &amp; Astro-Engineering, Conflict &amp; Security, Foresight &amp; Longevity, and Complexity Burden-across 114 micro-categories. The result is a single, transparent Main Scale score of 446.72, accompanied by full category breakdowns, sub-index values, Galántai resilience classification, threshold analysis, historical comparisons to six past civilizations, and scenario projections to 2050. The findings are unambiguous. Human civilization sits below the collapse threshold. Wisdom &amp; Ethics is the binding constraint and the highest-leverage domain for improvement. The harmonic mean aggregation ensures that imbalance cannot be masked by strength elsewhere. Sensitivity analysis identifies the Civilizational Moral Orientation Index as the single most powerful micro-category in the entire system. This edition includes the complete static measurement with full provenance and honest documentation of limitations. It is accompanied by the live CAR-1000 dashboard, which integrates continuous AI verification and real-time rescoring-directly addressing temporal lag while preserving methodological rigor. Released into the public domain, the CAR-1000 system, scoring engine, and all methodology are freely available for use, modification, and extension. This is not a ranking of nations or a happiness index. It is a civilization-scale instrument for those who believe that accurate measurement is the prerequisite for deliberate improvement.

Spray Drying of Natural Food Colorants and Its Applications

We love to imagine the future. But why are groundbreaking future technologies always just around the corner, and never a reality? For decades we've delighted in dreaming about a sci-fi utopia, from flying cars and bionic humans to hyperloops and smart cities. And why not? Building a better world - be it a free-flying commute or an automated urban lifestyle - is a worthy dream. Given the pace of technological change, nothing seems impossible anymore. But why are these innovations always out of reach? Delving into the remarkable history of technology, The Long History of the Future introduces us to the clever scientists, genius engineers and eccentric innovators who first brought these ideas to life and have struggled to make them work since. These stories reveal a more realistic picture of how these technologies may evolve - and how we'll eventually get to use them. You may never be able to buy a fully driverless car, but automated braking and steering could slash collision rates. Smart cities won't perfect city life, but they could help empty bins on time. Hyperloops may never arrive, but superfast trains are already here. We always believe current technology is the best it could be. By looking to the past and the future, Nicole Kobie shows how history always proves us wrong and how what lies ahead may not be what we imagine, but so much better.

Why tomorrow's technology still isn't here

'Thrilling... This book is a reminder of how incredibly "cool" our planet can be, and how we must fight to protect it.'&nbsp;Nick Mohammed

Frigid, remote and inhospitable - the polar regions seem far removed from our everyday lives.

But these seemingly isolated ice realms shape life on our planet far more than we realise, influencing everything from the climate to ocean health. They may even hold the secrets to the origins of the Earth.

Taking an epic journey of discovery from pole-to-pole, ferrying between penguins and polar bears, Ends of the Earth reveals the polar regions as never before. Meeting with the leading physicists, climatologists, geologists, biologists and palaeontologists working in these extremes - often as eccentric as they are intrepid - Neil Shubin presents the compelling new science of the Arctic and Antarctic with characteristic verve and expertise.
