  Big Dreams for Small SPIDER Scope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min

  In the space business, weight and size are what run up the bills. So imagine the appeal of a telescope that’s a tenth to as little as a hundredth as heavy, bulky and power hungry as the conventional instruments that NASA and other government agencies now send into space. Especially alluring is the notion of marrying the time-tested technology called interferometry, used in traditional observatories, with the new industrial field of photonics and its almost unimaginably tiny optical circuits. Say hello to SPIDER, or Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-optical Reconnaissance."Big Dreams for Small SPIDER Scope" is from the August 6, 2016 issue of Science News. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John N. Gully. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pe/bosn/020107/pe_bosn_020107_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Across the world, there are thousands of sacred sites built by mysterious people from ages past. Great circles, monoliths, and temples hold our imagination, because we still do not fully understand their original purpose. Could it be that these special places were more than just astronomical observatories? Could they also be tapping into the energy of the very earth upon which they stand? Hugh Newman is an expert in the field and has spent many years investigating earth grids and earth energy. Learn about his discoveries on the Green Revolution and how our ancestors used the energy of the earth for fertility and growth. This is a fascinating interview going where none have gone before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Gardiner.

  The Little Book of Black Holes: Science Essentials , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min

  Black holes, predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality - a viewpoint many shared. After introducing the basics of the special and general theories of relativity, this book describes black holes both as astrophysical objects and theoretical "laboratories" in which physicists can test their understanding of gravitational, quantum, and thermal physics. From Schwarzschild black holes to rotating and colliding black holes, and from gravitational radiation to Hawking radiation and information loss, Steven Gubser and Frans Pretorius use creative thought experiments and analogies to explain their subject accessibly. They also describe the decades-long quest to observe the universe in gravitational waves, which recently resulted in the LIGO observatories' detection of the distinctive gravitational wave "chirp" of two colliding black holes - the first direct observation of black holes' existence. ungekürzt.

  The Accelerating Universe: Infinite Expansion, the Cosmological Constant, and the Beauty of the Cosmos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min

  The Accelerating Universe is not only an informative book about modern cosmology. It is rich storytelling and, above all, a celebration of the human mind in its quest for beauty in all things. (Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams) "This is a wonderfully lucid account of the extraordinary discoveries that have made the last years a golden period for observational cosmology. But Mario Livio has not only given the reader one clear explanation after another of what astronomers are up to, he has used them to construct a provocative argument for the importance of aesthetics in the development of science and for the inseparability of science, art, and culture." (Lee Smolin, author of The Life of the Cosmos) "What a pleasure to read! An exciting, simple account of the universe revealed by modern astronomy. Beautifully written, clearly presented, informed by scientific and philosophical insights." (John Bahcall, Institute for Advanced Study) "A book with charm, beauty, elegance, and importance. As authoritative a journey as can be taken through modern cosmology." (Allan Sandage, Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Parks.
