In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken.

Britain’s most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Is the universe infinite? Do we know what happened before the Big Bang? Where is human consciousness located in the brain? And are there more undiscovered particles out there, beyond the Higgs...

En 1543, Nicolás Copérnico declaró que la Tierra giraba alrededor del Sol, revolucionando siglos de presunción escolástica. Se vislumbraba una nueva era, guiada por la observación, la tecnología y la lógica. Pero los presagios y los elixires no desaparecieron de manera instantánea de los laboratorios. Durante mucho tiempo, aún se podían encontrar amuletos y pociones entre relucientes instrumentos de metal y tomos encuadernados en cuero. La línea entre lo natural y lo sobrenatural seguía siendo porosa e indefinida.

La vita di Amalia Ercoli Finzi è stata caparbiamente proiettata nel futuro. Fin da quando, contro il volere della famiglia si iscrisse prima al liceo scientifico e poi al Politecnico di Milano, dove è diventata Ingegnera Aeronautica in una classe dove c’erano 52 iscritti, ma solo 5 donne.Dopo una carriera che l’ha portata ai vertici di tutte le principali agenzie aerospaziali, il suo futuro è pieno; come afferma lei stessa, con incrollabile energia, quando ricorda del rinvio del suo ultimo progetto - portare un veicolo su Marte alla ricerca di tracce di vita - procrastinato di due anni ...

A seminal work of scientific and philosophical exploration. Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed separately. But what if we could prove that all myths have one common origin in a celestial cosmology? What if the gods, the places they lived, and what they did are but ciphers for celestial activity, a language for the perpetuation of complex astronomical data?
