Origins of the Universe - The Cosmic Microwave Background and the Search for Quantum Gravity

Keith Cooper

Sinopse

The quest to find a theory of quantum gravity that could potentially explain everything.


Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize-winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their observations. They had found the key to unravelling the story of the Big Bang and the origin of our universe.

That signal was the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the Big Bang. It contains secrets about what happened during the very first tiny increments of time, which had consequences that have rippled throughout cosmic history, leading to the universe of stars and galaxies that we live in today.

This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space, from bubble universes to a cyclical cosmos - and possibly leading to the elusive theory of quantum gravity itself.

Iconic Advantage - Don't Chase...

Soon Yu, Dave Birss

Modern business gurus all cry for the need to innovate, to disrupt, and to act like a startup. It's hard to argue with that kind of thinking. It's sexy and exciting. But it's wrong. Too many businesses become enamored by shiny new objects and end up overlooking the value locked away in their existing products. Maybe your business is one of them. Iconic Advantage is a different approach that allows companies to leverage what they already have to create lasting differentiation and deeper relationships with their customers. It generates disproportionate levels of profit and protects against market fluctuations. Many of the world's most successful brands have been using it for years. Now, you, too, can benefit from reaching iconic status, whether you're a Fortune 500, a local pizza parlor, or an aspiring unicorn startup.

The Accidental Mind - How Brain...

David J. Linden

You've probably seen it before: a human brain dramatically lit from the side, the camera circling it like a helicopter shot of Stonehenge, and a modulated baritone voice exalting the brain's elegant design in reverent tones. 
To which this audiobook says: Pure nonsense. In a work at once deeply learned and wonderfully accessible, the neuroscientist David Linden counters the widespread assumption that the brain is a paragon of design - and in its place gives us a compelling explanation of how the brain's serendipitous evolution has resulted in nothing short of our humanity. A guide to the strange and often illogical world of neural function, The Accidental Mind shows how the brain is not an optimized, general-purpose problem-solving machine, but rather a weird agglomeration of ad-hoc solutions that have been piled on through millions of years of evolutionary history. Moreover, Linden tells us how the constraints of evolved brain design have ultimately led to almost every transcendent human foible: our long childhoods, our extensive memory capacity, our search for love and long-term relationships, our need to create compelling narrative, and, ultimately, the universal cultural impulse to create both religious and scientific explanations. 
With forays into evolutionary biology, this analysis of mental function answers some of our most common questions about how we've come to be who we are.

How Premonitions Really Work -...

Martin K. Ettington

I’ve already written a couple of books on prophecy and premonitions including my own experiences. 
But as an engineer I felt that I really had not fully communicated what I’ve learned about these abilities and how we can apply this knowledge to our lives. 
Thus the purpose of this book is to be as detailed as I can be about what premonitions are and how you can use them to improve your life and change your probable futures. 
As an engineer and experiencer of many modes of premonitions and prophecies I feel I have a lot to offer here and want you the reader to benefit from what I’ve learned. 
Historical prophecies are also covered as are the real source of premonitional abilities, techniques to see your own futures, how far ahead people can see the future, how to use these techniques with a group of people, and much more on the importance of prophecy in our world. 
The ability to change the direction of your fate is also discussed.
