We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a "biggest number". Or can there? To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? Then things get serious.

Michele Cassetta, medico chirurgo e giornalista, dialoga con medici, scienziati e neuroscienziati per spiegare come funziona il nostro cervello e come le scelte che facciamo siano influenzate da programmi mentali automatici che si formano sulla base delle nostre esperienze. Scopriremo come funziona la nostra memoria, cosa accade quando sogniamo, quando abbiamo paura e quando ci emozioniamo, capiremo anche in che cosa il nostro cervello si differenzia da quello delle altre specie viventi e non mancherà uno sguardo al futuro.

La voce di Gabriella Greison, fisica, scrittrice e attrice teatrale, racconta in maniera semplice la fisica quantistica, facendo un percorso suggestivo tra le menti che l'hanno creata e le loro geniali intuizioni. La fisica quantistica è nata dall'incrocio dei pensieri dei cervelli più grandi della scienza del XX secolo, e Gabriella Greison traccia questo sentiero fatto anche di slanci emotivi e colpi di scena, di litigi e di lunghe riflessioni.

Informative, entertaining, and upbeat, this audiobook continues Grazier and Cass’ exploration of how technology, science, and scientists are portrayed in Hollywood productions. Both big and small-screen productions are featured and their science content illuminated - first by the authors and subsequently by a range of experts from science and the film world. Starring roles in this volume are played by, among other things, computers (human and mechanical), artificial intelligences, robots, and spacecraft.

This audiobook is about the American moon landings - and about the doubts expressed ever since concerning the reality of these landings. Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax? Eversberg explains the best-known claims and conspiracy theories

Lighthearted, quirky, and upbeat, this book explores the portrayal of science and technology on both the big and little screen - and how Hollywood is actually doing a better job of getting it right than ever before. Grounded in the real-word, and often cutting-edge, science and technology that inspires fictional science, the authors survey Hollywood depictions of topics such as quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and alien worlds.

This audiobook contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel. The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author’s earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no tech notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of Time Machines.

Wissensdurst erlischt nicht. Das beweist die bereits 6. Staffel "Sag mal, du als Physiker". Denn unsere Welt hält immer noch so viele spannende Fragen für unsere Lieblingsphysiker bereit: Wie löscht man eigentlich ein Feuer? Warum wird Brot manchmal mehr im Mund? Wie kühlt man sich in tropischen Nächten am besten runter? Und wie misst man eigentlich Gravitationswellen?

Wenn ein Physiker auf einer Party eingeladen ist, will ihn jeder etwas fragen. Warum können wir noch nicht beamen? Warum wird mein Kaffee kalt? Was ist dunkle Materie? Physiker haben auf Parties wirklich keinen Spaß. In der zweiten Staffel "Sag mal, du als Physiker. Der P.M.-Podcast" stehen Ihnen wie immer zwei sehr auskunftsfreudige Physiker zur Seite. Vor dem Mikrofon werden die beiden noch immer vom P.M.-Chefredakteur im Zaum gehalten. Kommen Sie mit in die zweite Staffel und lassen Sie sich Glühbirnen, feuchte Keller und Rasenmäherroboter erklären.
