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...

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...

IceCube Observatory, a South Pole instrument making the first actual observations of high-energy neutrinos, has been called the "weirdest" of the seven wonders of modern astronomy by Scientific American. In The Telescope in the Ice, Mark Bowen tells the amazing story of the people who built the instrument and the science involved.
Located near the U. S. Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the geographic South Pole, IceCube is unlike most telescopes...

Die Funktechnik ermöglicht die Ausweitung der astronomischen Beobachtungen über das Licht hinaus auf andere Frequenzbereiche. Dies führte zur Entdeckung zahlreicher kosmischer Radioquellen, deren physikalische Ursachen erläutert werden, ebenso die Funktionsweise eines Radioteleskops. Schon mit kleinen Radioteleskopen kann die Strahlung der Sonne und anderer Radioquellen sowie die 21-cm-Strahlung aus der Milchstraße beobachtet werden. Durch Interferometrie...

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...

Das Äquivalenzprinzip ist grundlegend für die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie und für unser heutiges Verständnis von Raum und Zeit. Außerdem sagen bisherige Ansätze für eine Theorie der Quantengravitation kleinste Verletzungen des Äquivalenzprinzips voraus, so dass dessen Tests auch immer eine Suche nach experimentellen Signaturen einer solchen Quantengravitationstheorie sind. Die Autoren legen in diesem Essential die begrifflichen Grundlagen...

NASA's computers detect signs of extra-terrestrial life. But the observations must be verified before they are disclosed to the public. Are human reactions predictable? Can such a monumental discovery be revealed to the world? Is mankind ready for this? For Scott and Leonel, the answers to these questions become truly pressing, when the cherished results of their research get into the wrong hands…

Die Quantenphysik bietet eine Beschreibung der Welt auf kleinsten Skalen und macht dazu seltsame Aussagen, die unser Verständnis der Welt und ihrer Logik ernsthaft herausfordern. Besonders schwierig zu erklären ist das Phänomen der Verschränkung, das in den vergangenen 30 Jahren intensiv erforscht worden ist. Verschränkte Teilchen scheinen sich zufällig zu verhalten, aber dennoch über weite Distanzen hinweg voneinander zu wissen, sodass ihr...
