Book excerpt: This English edition of a successful, proven title provides a sound scientific background, while allowing a popular presentation of the physics behind the strange and mysterious tunneling process. Based on his groundbreaking experiments, Prof Nimtz places the topic in a broader context by showing connections with other branches of physics. He and the team of authors begin by introducing such fundamental concepts as space and time and continue with tunneling phenomena from optics, nuclear and solid state physics. Avoiding mathematical equations and definitions altogether, they explain step-by-step the prerequisites for the tunnel effect to function, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, right up to modern topics, such as wormholes and space travel ? la Star Trek. With a foreword by astronaut Ulrich Walter, science team member of the D-2 Space Shuttle Mission.

Book excerpt: In Walking Zero, Chet Raymo uses the Prime Meridian-the line of zero longitude and the standard for all the world's maps and clocks-to tell the story of humandkind's intellectual journey from a cosmos not much larger than ourselves to the universe of the galaxies and geologic eons. As in his highly praised The Path and Climbing Brandon, Raymo connects personally with the story by walking England's Prime Meridian from Brighton through Greenwich to the North Sea. The Prime Meridian passes near a surprising number of landmarks that loom large in science: Isaac Newton's chambers at Trinity College, Cambridge; Charles Darwin's home at Down, in Kent; the site where the first dinosaur fossils were discovered; and John Harrison's clocks in a museum room of the Royal Observatory, among many others. Visiting them in turn, Raymo brings to life the human dramas of courageous individuals who bucked reigning orthodoxies to expand our horizons, including one brave rebel who paid the ultimate price for surmising the multitude of worlds we now take for granted. A splendid short history of astronomy and geology, Walking Zero illuminates the startling interplay of science, psychology, faith, and the arts in our understanding of space and time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel to space and back with astronaut Chris Hadfield's "enthralling" bestseller as your eye-opening guide (Slate). Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst- and enjoy every moment of it. In An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Col. Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks, and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement — and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Col. Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth — especially your own. "Hadfield proves himself to be not only a fierce explorer of the universe, but also a deeply thoughtful explorer of the human condition." —Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Had the author’s inventive hypothesis of Replicating Space been envisioned when Isaac Newton published his laws of motion and gravity, it would most certainly have been incorporated into our concept of the nature of the Universe. The author describes a comprehensive vision of the nature of the heavens, their creation and growth. He throws in a whopping amount of down-to-earth explanations of his unique perspective on the origins of everything. No stone is left unturned as he destroys conventional academic theories, replacing them with simple, yet not obvious truths. Matter, energy, light, speed, space, time, reality, the edge of the Universe, are all players in a new, more tangible explanation of our Universe. All these things along with many more concepts will be explained in light of the new radical Replicating Space theory (RST).

Book excerpt: Most Fortune 500 companies still struggle with workplace planningand design issues. Millions of dollars are invested each year bycompanies with the expectation that new buildings and majorrenovations will help transform their culture, spark innovation,and herald new work patterns that strengthen performance whilereducing costs. But, as Franklin Becker points out, popular trendsdo not always make good sense. Offices at Work addresses thefundamental design issues that organizational leaders confront suchas: How do we create a low-cost flexible environment that motivatesemployees and stimulates learning? Is it worth our spending the time, money, and effort toconsolidate our disparate buildings into a new corporatecampus? How else can we address status concerns besides giving peopleoffices?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known laws of physics break down. They will occur inside black holes, and in the past are what might be construed as the beginning of the universe. To show how these predictions arise, the authors discuss the General Theory of Relativity in the large. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in this 1973 book.

Book excerpt: The possibility of travel forward and backward through space-time intrigues a vast number of people. I find it curious that many believe that Back to the Future is really possible and eventually someone will implement a process/machine to do exactly that. I, on the other hand, believe that time travel through space-time is impossible and in this book, I put forward, what I consider to be, a valid proof. The expansion of the universe and ultimately the Heat Death of the Universe means that energy is continuously lost and is not recoverable. To travel through space-time it is necessary to remove energy from the universe to move forward in time or add energy to the universe to move backward in time and that is, therefore, impossible. My purpose in writing this book is to put forward a paradigm where travel in time-space, not through space-time, is possible. Where movement about in three-dimensional space does not require energy to be either removed from or added to, the universe. Professor Da-veed’s accidental discovery of this paradigm forces him to take measures to avoid being taken into custody by the FBI, DHS, and NSA because he fears that the government would weaponize ZTAD and use it to dominate other countries.
