Reality Physics

Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In...

Author of the New York Times best seller The Beginning of Infinity, David Deutsch, explores the four most fundamental strands of human knowledge: quantum physics, and the theories of knowledge, computation, and evolution - and their unexpected connections. Taken together, these four strands reveal a deeply integrated, rational, and optimistic worldview. It describes a unified fabric of reality that is objective and comprehensible, in which human action and thought are central.

Have you ever wondered how the universe truly works or how to unlock the immense power within yourself? This two-in-one guide offers a clear and engaging path to understanding both the science of quantum mechanics and the profound insights of higher consciousness.

This book offers a grounded, honest look at how the principles of quantum physics resonate with the workings of the human mind — not through hype, but through clarity. You won’t find exaggerated promises or vague metaphors here. Instead, you’ll find a precise, thought-provoking approach to consciousness, inner transformation, and the deeper mechanics of experience.

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today. 

Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet.

There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range...

The Physics Book sets out more than 80 key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpicking the thought behind each theory - as well as exploring when and how each idea and breakthrough came about - seven themed chapters examine the history and developments in areas such as energy and matter, and electricity and magnetism, as well as quantum, nuclear, and particle physics.

In this stunning new volume, Jim Baggott argues that there is no observational or experimental evidence for many of the ideas of modern theoretical physics: Super-symmetric particles, super strings, the multiverse, the holographic principle, or the anthropic cosmological principle. These theories are not only untrue; they are not even science. They are fairy-tale physics: Fantastical, bizarre and often outrageous, perhaps even confidence-trickery. This book provides a much-needed antidote.

With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.

In 10 Mind-Bending Ways Quantum Physics Is Rewriting Reality, you’ll discover how the bizarre rules of the quantum world are transforming not only science, but also philosophy, technology, and our everyday experience of being alive. From particles that can be in two places at once to quantum entanglement that Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance,” this book takes you on a thrilling tour through the strangest terrain in modern science. But it doesn’t stop at the weirdness. It shows how quantum discoveries are already reshaping the very foundations of reality.

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to reality than meets the eye? Imagine a universe where a single particle can be in two places at once, where two objects separated by light-years remain mysteriously linked, and where the very act of watching can change what unfolds. This may sound like the plot of a science fiction novel, but it is the astonishing world revealed by quantum physics—a realm that continues to surprise even the scientists who study it. The Quantum World Explained takes you on a clear, accessible journey into this hidden layer of reality.

The universe, in all its boundless complexity, is a riddle that has captivated human curiosity for millennia. We gaze into the night sky not just to admire the stars, but to ask the questions that seem to echo back at us from the void: What is everything made of? How did we get here? And why does the universe behave the way it does?

For a physicist, all the world is information. The universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information. We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA. In this engaging and mind-stretching account, Vlatko Vedral considers some of the deepest questions about the universe and considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information.

The fundamental outlines of the physical world, from its tiniest particles to massive galaxy clusters, have been apparent for decades. Does this mean physicists are about to tie it all up into a neat package? Not at all. Just when you think you’re figuring it out, the universe begins to look its strangest, and this book illustrates how answers often lead to more questions and open up new paths to insight. 

Der Siegeszug der klassischen Physik hat die Welt entzaubert. Die Realität, so die gängige Auffassung, wird von Naturgesetzen geregelt, die letztlich alles erklären können. Doch dieses Bild ist falsch. Viele grundlegende Fragen sind noch immer unbeantwortet. Und die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Quantentheorie weisen sogar darauf hin, dass es eine Realität jenseits von unserer Vorstellung von Raum und Zeit gibt.
