Title: Ripples in Spacetime

Subtitle: Einstein, Gravitational Waves, and the Future of Astronomy

Author: Govert Schilling, Martin Rees

Narrator: Joel Richards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-12-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 52 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Astronomy

Publisher's Summary:

Ripples in Spacetime is an engaging account of the international effort to complete Einstein's project, capture his elusive ripples, and launch an era of gravitational-wave astronomy that promises to explain, more vividly than ever before, our universe's structure and origin.

The quest for gravitational waves involved years of risky research and many personal and professional struggles that threatened to derail one of the world's largest scientific endeavors. Govert Schilling takes listeners to sites where these stories unfolded - including Japan's KAGRA detector, Chile's Atacama Cosmology Telescope, the South Pole's BICEP detectors, and the United States' LIGO labs. He explains the seeming impossibility of developing technologies sensitive enough to detect waves from two colliding black holes in the very distant universe, and describes the astounding precision of the LIGO detectors. Along the way, Schilling clarifies concepts such as general relativity, neutron stars, and the big bang using language that listeners with little scientific background can grasp.

Critic Reviews:

"An exciting history of the second great breakthrough of 21st-century physics." (

Language: English

Release date: 12-19-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Astronomy

Publisher's Summary:

The universe has many secrets. It may hide additional dimensions of space other than the familiar three we recognize. There might even be another universe adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable...for now.

Warped Passages is an altogether exhilarating journey that tracks the arc of discovery from early 20th-century physics to the razor's edge of modern scientific theory. One of the world's leading theoretical physicists, Lisa Randall provides astonishing scientific possibilities that, until recently, were restricted to the realm of science fiction. Unraveling the twisted threads of the most current debates on relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity, she explores some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature - taking us into the warped, hidden dimensions underpinning the universe we live in, demystifying the science of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond our own.

Title: Aliens

Subtitle: The World's Leading Scientists on the Search for Extraterrestrial Life

Author: Jim Al-Khalili

Narrator: Katharine McEwan, Kimberly Farr, Bruce Mann, Paul Michael, Nicholas Guy Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-17

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 58 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Astronomy

Publisher's Summary:

In these lively and fascinating essays, scientists from around the world weigh in on the latest advances in the search for intelligent life in the universe and discuss just what that might look like. Since 2000, science has seen a surge in data and interest on several fronts related to ET (extraterrestrials); AI (artificial intelligence); and SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence). The debate has intensified over whether life exists outside our solar system, what that life would look like, and whether we'll ever make contact.

Included in this audiobook are essays from a broad spectrum of the scientific community: cosmologists, astrophysicists, NASA planetary scientists, and geneticists, to name just a few, discussing the latest research and theories relating to alien life. Some of the topics include: If life exists somewhere in space, what are the odds that it evolves into something we would recognize as intelligent? What will space travel look like in the future, and will it all be done by cyborg technology? How long until we are ruled by robot overlords? (This is actually a serious consideration.) Are we simply a simulation in the mind of some supreme being acting out a virtual reality game?

For those who have ever wondered, Is there anybody out there? here are the latest theories and evidence that move us closer to answering that question.
