Schrodinger’s Cat was a science blog set out to debunk the science misinformation that was and is rampant on social media, as well as be a credible and trusted source to answer all of readers’ science questions, such as: - What makes fireworks different colours? - How do birds find their way when migrating? - What is a GMO? - Is it possible to recreate Frankenstein’s Monster? - What causes that Thanksgiving day “turkey coma”? - What is healthier? Eating meat or being vegan? - Is green energy more efficient, and how much would a city need to power itself? - Can sunscreen really give you cancer? - How far away are we from having a zoo full of extinct animals? - Is the science and tec...
Humans, over many millennia, have been intrigued with magnetism and continuously revealing its nature and association with other objects, both animate and inanimate. Started with reverence for its mystic power, the beautiful minds soon find the means to harness it. This book is an omnibus that helps one travel through time over many millennia until today while giving glimpses of human achievements in the Odyssey of human civilisation. This is a scientific essay. Nevertheless, it offers a range of flavours, such as the history of science, philosophy, social construct, the early scientific revolution, the impact of the Industrial Revolution, the growth of modern science, and discussion on scientific phenomena with no less scientific rigour, while remaining simple and intelligible. The book will be food for academic minds and a pleasant experience for general readers.
Physics; A sea of knowledge with no beginning and no end, a shock wave that leaves one astonished… Physics cannot be explained… To understand, it only requires extinction within its concepts. In this book, you find the given answers to the "what is Physics" question by great Physicists who have devoted their lives to physics.
The 11-year cycle of sunspots is one of the most intriguing natural cycles known to mankind. This book explores the fascinating science behind these phenomena and gives an insider's view of the history of the field.

Now in its third edition the Encyclopedia of Astrobiology serves as the key to a common understanding in the extremely interdisciplinary community of astrobiologists. Each new or experienced researcher and graduate student in adjacent fields of astrobiology will appreciate this reference work in the quest to understand the big picture. The carefully selected group of active researchers contributing to this work are aiming to give a comprehensive international perspective on and to accelerate the interdisciplinary advance of astrobiology. The interdisciplinary field of astrobiology constitutes a joint arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g. the prevalence of exopla...
This is a popular science book on physics, astronomy and related sciences, designed for a wider audience.It is written as a guide for a tour along the ladder of scales from the Universe as a whole to the microcosm. The main scales are the Universe, Solar System, the Earth, normal human size, atoms, and elementary particles. Exotic objects such as black holes and neutron stars are also considered, as well as the foundations of the scientific method, its connection with philosophy, and a story about how modern science arose. This book contains many useful illustrations.The basic concepts of physics are discussed: forces, fields, quantum phenomena, structure of matter, phase transitions, atoms, molecules, dark matter, and dark energy. And also galaxies, supernova explosions, the Sun, planets, exoplanets, black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, the possibility of space expansion of mankind. The book also discusses phenomena like rainbow, mirages, lightning, climate on Earth, as well as practical applications like nuclear and thermonuclear reactors, superconductivity and helium-3 mining on the Moon. This book has included the latest results.
