Brief Answers to the Big Questions: Puzzle Edition by Stephen Hawking

$32.99 AUD

Category: Science

'Effortlessly instructive, absorbing, up to the minute and - where it matters - witty' GUARDIAN The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe's biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work. This limited edition features the 'Big Questions Puzzle' devised by Josh Kirklin, a PhD student in Stephen Hawking's department at the University of Cambridge, and is inspired by the ten big questions in the book: Is there a God? How did it all begin? Is there other intelligent life in the universe? Can we predict the future? What is inside a black hole? Is time travel possible? Will we survive on Earth? Should we colonise space? Will artificial intelligence outsmart us? How do we shape the future? Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet. And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind. Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next. ...Show more

Dark Matter and Dark Energy - The Hidden 95% of the Universe by Brian Clegg

$19.99 AUD

Category: Astronomy | Series: Hot Science Ser.

All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has everfaced. Since the 1970s,astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them toaccount for the way they s pin around: they should fly apart, but somethingconcealed holds them together. That 'something' is dark matter - invisiblematerial in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets. By the 1990s wealso knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, nameddark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe,this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteentimes greater than all the visible material in existence. Brian Clegg explainsthis major conundrum in modern scienceand looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.   ...Show more
