Jak vůbec vesmír vznikl? Jsme v nekonečnosti kosmu sami? Dokážou vědci vyřešit záhadu času? Co je to duch ve stroji? Je Bůh? ••• V těchto snadno srozumitelných a poutavých rozhovorech zkoumá světově proslulý fyzik Paul Davies a vytrvalý obrazoborec Phillip Adams ona proč a odkud vztahující se k vesmíru; jak vznikl, jak jednou skončí a jak do něho - pokud vůbec - zapadají lidé. ••• „Jednou z největších tragédií ve snaze vysvětlit veřejnosti základní znalosti z fyziky a kosmologie, a vlastně všechny vědy, je to, že většina lidí se bojí matematiky. Nemají ji rádi, znají z ní málo. Proto je jim přístup k jazyku a poezii přírody uzavřen.“ Paul Davies „I když s Paulem nesouhlasím v té největší z velkých otázek - v otázce Boha – zůstává pro mne nejpodnětnějším průvodcem na okružní cestě kosmem a kontraintuitivním světem vědy od dob Lewise Carolla a Douglase Adamse.“ Phillip Adams

Legújabb, mindenkit izgalomba hozó könyvében Paul Davies megismertet a Földön kívüli élet keresésének legújabb eredményeivel. 1960. április 8-án egy fiatal amerikai csillagász, Frank Drake a Tau Ceti jelű csillag felé fordított egy rádiótávcsövet, és órákon át hallgatódzott, hátha sikerül valamilyen mesterséges eredetű jelet felfognia. Ez a szerény kezdet egy világméretű és potenciálisan felmérhetetlen jelentőségű projekt születését jelentette. A SETI - a Földön kívüli értelem keresése angol megfelelőjéből képezett betűszó - a tudomány, a technika, a kaland, a kíváncsiság és az emberiség sorsára vonatkozó merész látomások keveréke. A SETI mindeddig nem tudott eredményt felmutatni. Több millió órát töltöttünk már el hallgatódzással, ennek ellenére a csillagászok csak a kísérteties csönddel találták szembe magukat. Paul Davies felteszi a kérdést, mit jelent ez a csönd? Egyedül vagyunk a hatalmas Világegyetemben? Vagy talán ott vannak a Földön kívüliek, csak éppen nem küldenek felénk üzeneteket? Vagy körülvesznek minket az üzenetek, de egyszerűen nem vesszük észre őket? Kidobott pénz és elfecsérelt idő a SETI, vagy folytatnunk kell a keresést, újabb és még érzékenyebb antennákkal? Vagy rossz felé nézünk? És mi történne akkor, ha mégiscsak felfognánk egy jelet? Kellene-e válaszolnunk, és ha igen, akkor hogyan? A kísérteties csönd elkalauzol a múlt és a jelen közeli találkozásainak világába, előrepillant a jövőbe, megvizsgálja a bolygónkon kialakult szén alapú élet fizikai és kémiai hátterét, és felteszi a kérdést, hogy találunk-e valaha valami hasonlót bárhol másutt a Világegyetemben.

'A gripping new drama in science ... if you want to understand how the concept of life is changing, read this' Professor Andrew Briggs, University of Oxford When Darwin set out to explain the origin of species, he made no attempt to answer the deeper question: what is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question. Life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. And yet, huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. So can life be explained by known physics and chemistry, or do we need something fundamentally new? In this penetrating and wide-ranging new analysis, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name, a domain where computing, chemistry, quantum physics and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity with the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and even to illuminate the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. From life's murky origins to the microscopic engines that run the cells of our bodies, The Demon in the Machine is a breath-taking journey across the landscape of physics, biology, logic and computing. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window on the secret of life itself.

Klíčovým tématem této knihy je vhodnost vesmíru pro život. Nejprve autor vyloží základní pojmy moderní fyziky a kosmologie a poté popíše teorii multiverza včetně argumentů pro a proti. Ke konci knihy rozebírá různé odpovědi na problém přesného vyladění vesmíru. Pokládá si také otázku, zda mají vědci skutečně už už na dosah ruky teorii všeho – úplné a logicky uzavřené vysvětlení celého fyzikálního vesmíru – nebo zda podstata existence zůstane navždy zahalena tajemstvím. Davies od sebe jasně oddělil nesporná fakta, rozumné teoretické úvahy a divoké domněnky. Hlavním cílem této knihy je používat při hledání odpovědí na zásadní otázky týkající se existence vědecké metody bádání a zdravý rozum.

Focusing on the beautiful artwork of Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn this is an in-depth insight into a world as dangerous as it is beautiful. The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn is the ultimate gallery of the hotly anticipated new IP from Guerrilla Games (Killzone series). It focuses on the stunning artwork used to develop the game, and includes over 300 images, sketches, and concept art, commentary throughout from the artists and creators. This is an in-depth insight into a world as beautiful as it is dangerous. Over 1000 years ago a cataclysm destroyed life as we know it, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In our place machines rose, and nature took back our cities, until all that was left of our world was the rumours of the old ones and the ruins of a civilisation long past. The tribes of the new world live scattered, some small and humble, some as powerful as kings. If Aloy, an outcast and hunter, is to find her true place in this world she must combat the great robotic creatures of the land and uncover the mysteries of a lost civilisation.
