In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites listeners on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe.

The Magellanic Clouds drift across the southern sky like luminous islands—near enough to be seen with the naked eye, yet vast enough to hold billions of stars. For millennia they have been woven into the stories of Indigenous peoples, guiding navigators across oceans and inspiring myths of creation. For modern science, they are living laboratories, revealing how galaxies are born, shaped, and ultimately transformed.

What begins as a faint smudge in the night sky becomes, through science, imagination, and reflection, a vast spiral galaxy with billions of stars and a future intimately entwined with our own. Andromeda: Meeting Our Galactic Neighbor is a sweeping exploration of M31—not only as an astronomical object, but as a mirror to human curiosity, time, and destiny. From its mythic naming in ancient lore to its place in cutting-edge cosmology, this book traces how Andromeda has shaped and reshaped our understanding of the universe.

This book traces antimatter from its theoretical origins to its roles in cosmic evolution, laboratory precision, and emerging technology. It follows its perfect symmetry with matter, its fleeting appearances in stellar cores, cosmic rays, and particle accelerators, and its central place in the laws of conservation that govern change. The narrative moves through the early universe, where matter’s survival hinged on an infinitesimal asymmetry, and into present-day experiments testing antimatter’s spectra, magnetic properties, and response to gravity.

DAL BIG BANG ALLA FORMAZIONE DI STELLE, PIANETI E BUCHI NERI. DALLA CELLULA ALLA TEORIA DELL'EVOLUZIONE FINO A GIUNGERE ALL'ESSERE UMANO. E POI? COSA CI ASPETTA NEL PROSSIMO FUTURO? Tante e interessantissime le domande che scandiscono il viaggio raccontato in questo libro, un reportage unico e affascinante attraverso la storia dell'Universo, la scienza e le recenti scoperte, spiegate con le parole preziose e attente di un divulgatore d'eccezione come Piero Angela. Il celebre giornalista aveva un'ambizione: diffondere la cultura scientifica perché diventasse accessibile a chiunque.

Ein Blick auf die Erforschung außerirdischen Lebens, die unser Verständnis des Kosmos verändert. Seit Tausenden von Jahren fragen sich die Menschen, ob sie allein im Weltall sind. Zum ersten Mal können wir nun auch die entsprechende Technologie nutzen, um das zu untersuchen. Die Frage nach anderem Leben im Universum sollte eine klare Antwort haben: ja oder nein. Aber wenn man versucht, anderswo Leben zu finden, stellt man fest, dass es nicht so einfach ist. Wie kann man es über kosmische Entfernungen hinweg finden? Was ist eigentlich Leben?

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868-1953) and Arthur Compton (1892-1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. 

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 important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe.
