Using Space to Save Earth Veteran science journalist William E Burrows offers a bold new mission for the U.S. space program: to protect the Earth from the ever-growing number of perils that threaten our way of life – and even our very survival. We are living through one of the most dangerous times in human history. Nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons technology are proliferating, and missile technology is falling into more and more hands....

This comprehensive summary distills the essence of Tyson's expansive exploration of cosmic phenomena, astrophysics, and the role of humanity in the grand tapestry of the universe. Each chapter of the book is meticulously summarized, presenting complex scientific concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. From the birth of stars to the intricacies...

The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe.It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe.This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. We review some of the most...

Two new features are revealed by examining redshift from a position away from the centre of the universe. First, inter-galactic redshift is best recognised as a recession velocity. This was the way Hubble pictured the universe but it was later supplanted with expansion of space–time under the Big Bang Model. Unfortunately, expansion cannot explain the drift velocity because intergalactic redshifts do not reveal the change in redshift in the direction...

Das vorliegende Buch bietet Ihnen einen Überblick über Geschichte und Entwicklung der bemannten Raumfahrt – von den ersten Ideen, den bekannten und weniger bekannten Pionieren der Raketentechnik über die Gegenwart in die Zukunft der Exploration des Weltalls. Sven Piper stellt in informativer Weise die Entwickler der Raketentechnik vor, beleuchtet den Beginn des Weltraumzeitalters mit Juri Gagarin als erster Mensch im All bis zur dauerhaft besetzten...

Captured Planet is an unusual and intriguing theory on the origin of the earth. The author's theory, first developed in 2003, was recently substantiated through an article published by NASA in June 2011 that examined the implications of their findings on samples taken from their 2004 Genesis mission:"We found that Earth, the moon, as well as Martian and other meteorites which are samples of asteroids, have a lower concentration of the O-16 than does...

"If Ms. Frizzle were a physics student of Stephen Hawking, she might have written THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HAND, a wild tour through the reaches of time and space, from the interior of a proton to the Big Bang to the rough suburbs of a black hole. It's friendly, excitable, erudite, and cosmic." -Jordan Ellenberg, New York Times besteselling author of How Not To Be Wrong Quantum physics, black holes, string theory, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy,...

A computer simulation of the gravitational field of the universe has been developed that precisely predicts the observed overall redshift due to Doppler and Gravitational components. It applies to both nearby and distant galaxies, and is more accurate than Hubble's Law. It is called the COI universe model. Many other unusual cosmic observations: the KBC void size and density; the Fingers of God effect; the Galactic windup dilemma; and the age of distant...

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus.Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth.It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong.Modern evidence is showing...

Popular science readers embrace epics-the sweeping stories that claim to tell the history of all the universe, from the cosmological to the biological to the social. And the appeal is understandable: in writing these works, authors such as E. O. Wilson or Steven Weinberg deliberately seek to move beyond particular disciplines, to create a compelling story weaving together natural historical events, scientific endeavor, human discovery, and contemporary...
