Intelligible Universe, The: An Overview of the Last Thirteen Billion Years (2nd Edition)
ISBN: 9789812794116 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This interesting book reviews WMAP's main results (2003) and discusses in detail how the accurate qualitative results for the “age” of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published five years before in Acta Cosmologica, Krakow. In the final chapter on “Cosmic Numbers”, it is shown that, as a result of the coincidence at decoupling time between atom formation and matter/radiation equality, a reasonable cosmic justification for the mass ratio of protons and electrons is obtained. /remove

How The Universe Was Created Without the Big Bang: The First Everything Theory that Solved All Cosmic Mysteries
ISBN: 9780974128009 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) How the Universe Was Created Without the Big Bang exposes the fact that the Big Bang in its current form, could never have happened. The idea that gravity condensed the entire universe including all its space into one point of near infinite density and at one moment of emerging time expanded to create our universe, is totally contrary to the physical laws and is in complete opposition to observations and this is why the Big Bang is not possible. The idea that all matter and all space has simultaneously condensed into one point of near infinite density and at the moment of...

Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 2.1-9
ISBN: 9780715632000 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Aristotle believed that the outermost stars are carried round us on a transparent sphere. There are directions in the universe and a preferred direction of rotation. The sun moon and planets are carried on different revolving spheres. The spheres and celestial bodies are composed of an everlasting fifth element, which has none of the ordinary contrary properties like heat and cold which could destroy it, but only the facility for uniform rotation. But this creates problems as to how the heavenly bodies create light, and, in the case of the sun, heat. The value of Simplicius' commentary on "On...

Dark Matter: Theories on its Origin & Substance
ISBN: 9781515163664 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but would account for most of the matter in the universe. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Dark matter has not been detected directly, making it one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics. Dark matter neither emits nor absorbs light, or any other electromagnetic radiation, at any significant level. According to the Planck mission team, and based on the standard model of...

Quintessence
ISBN: 9780099422280 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Will the universe continue to expand forever, reverse its expansion and begin to contract, or reach a delicately poised state where it simply persists forever? The answer depends on the amount and properties of matter in the universe, and that has given rise to one of the great paradoxes of modern cosmology; there is too little visible matter to account for the behaviour we can see. Over 90 percent of the universe consists of 'missing mass' or 'dark matter' - what Lawrence Krauss, in his classic book, termed the fifth essence. In this new edition of The Fifth Essence, retitled Quintessence...

James Birx shows how the never-ending controversy of human evolution came to be. He details the events that caused thinkers like Charles Darwin to develop his theory of evolution, and what ideas caused some people to reconcile a somewhat mystical theology with a concrete model of the universe. He tells you how Darwin's work infuriated everybody from "God-fearing" Christians to the church heirarchies.
Birx explains how scientific advances and philosophical arguments have made beliefs about divine intervention as the origin of man a moot point. He shows how creationism ignores... Professor H.

Schelling in 1809, 'has this common deficiency - that nature does not exist for it.' Despite repeated echoes of Schelling's assessment throughout the natural sciences, and despite the philosophy of nature recently proposed but not completed by Gilles Deleuze, Philosophies of Nature After Schelling argues that Schelling's verdict remains accurate two hundred years later. Presenting a lucid account of Schelling's major works in the philosophy of nature alongside those of his scientific contemporaries who pursued and furthered that work,...
