When that time comes, will we be able to cross the communication barrier to beg for our lives? If the aliens do hold out those precious jewels of knowledge, will we even be able to grasp them? It's long been assumed, in both science fiction and real scientific efforts to communicate with hypothetical aliens, that math and physics could serve as a universal language connecting us with extraterrestrial minds. But as humanity draws ever closer to the possibility of an interplanetary future and expands its agelong search for alien life and intelligence, beloved author and physicist Daniel Whiteson and best-selling cartoonist Andy Warner wonder if we should be so sure. In Do Aliens Speak Physics?, they take readers on a wild adventure to the edges of space-time, science, and the imagination to investigate whether an alien-human mind meld could ever be achieved. Deploying cutting-edge physics, deep philosophical insight, and plenty of cartoons, Whiteson and Warner explode what we thought we knew about talking to our cosmic neighbors-and even science itself-by asking and answering questions both lighthearted and profound. Would aliens even need science to build the technology that brings them to Earth? Is it possible that they could experience the Universe very differently from us-tasting electrons and smelling photons? Would the extraterrestrials have to perceive "electrons" and "photons" at all, or are these particles only convenient concepts for our human minds? At bottom, does physics reveal fundamental truths about the Universe, as we so often believe, or might it in fact tell us more about ourselves? As ultimately mind-altering as it is hilarious, Do Aliens Speak Physics? will leave you with a view of the Universe-and humanity-that's stranger and more marvelous than before.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1486116</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1486116</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Whiteson, Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1486116057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>And Other Questions About Science and the Nature of Reality</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324064640/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Encyclopedia of Very Important Science]]></title><description><![CDATA["This beginners' book introduces children to the science all around us.

He begins with a simple mystery of motion. When we drive at highway speeds with the windows down, the wind beats against our faces. Yet our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second, and we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil when, as Einstein discovered, matter warps space, and space deflects matter?  The answer, Strassler reveals, is that empty space is a sea, albeit a paradoxically strange one. Much like water and air, it ripples in various ways, and we ourselves, made from its ripples, can move through space as effortlessly as waves crossing an ocean. Deftly weaving together daily experience and fundamental physics-the musical universe, the enigmatic quantum, cosmic fields, and the Higgs boson-Strassler shows us how all things, familiar and unfamiliar, emerge from what seems like nothing at all." --publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1471227</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1471227</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Strassler, Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1471227057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Everyday Life Emerges From the Cosmic Ocean</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541603295/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Escape From Shadow Physics]]></title><description><![CDATA["The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects-indeed, reality itself-aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it. And yet it remains one of the most influential ideas in science and our culture. In Escape from Shadow Physics, Adam Kay takes up Einstein's torch: reality isn't mysterious or dependent on human measurement, but predictable and independent of us. At the heart of his argument is groundbreaking research with little drops of oil. These droplets behave as particles do in the long-overlooked quantum theory of pilot waves; crucially, they showcase quantum behavior while being described by classical physics. And that classical-quantum interface points to a true understanding of quantum mechanics and a reasonable universe.

Nearly five thousand exoplanets have been identified since then, with the pace of discovery only accelerating following the launch of missions like NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey and others to come. We now know that most sun-like stars host their own systems of planets analogous to our solar system, and a few of these planets may potentially be like Earth. But arguably the most remarkable discoveries so far have been of planets with unexpected, decidedly un-Earth-like properties, which have upended what we thought we knew about the origins of planets and planetary systems. The Little Book of Exoplanets provides a concise, cutting-edge introduction to this field for general readers, written by leading Princeton exoplanet scientist Josh Winn. It offers an accessible view into the sophisticated detective work astronomers perform to detect and characterize exoplanets, and describes the surprising, sometimes downright bizarre planets and systems we have found. Winn explains how these discoveries are revolutionizing astronomy, and explores the current status and future of our search for another Earth. He concludes with a reflection on how our discovery of exoplanets changes our perspective on the universe"--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1465995</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1465995</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Winn, Joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1465995057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780691215471/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Einstein's Unfinished Revolution]]></title><description><![CDATA[Quantum physics is the golden child of modern science.

His unique blend of rigorous research and engaging storytelling invites us into the lives and minds of the remarkable, creative scientists who have helped to unravel the unexpected fabric of reality—with reason rather than superstition and dogma. Krauss has himself been an active participant in this effort, and he knows many of them well. The Greatest Story challenges us to re-envision ourselves and our place within the universe, as it appears that God does play dice with the universe. In the incisive style of his scintillating essays for The New Yorker, Krauss celebrates the greatest intellectual adventure ever undertaken—to understand why we are here in a universe where fact is stranger than fiction.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1382618</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1382618</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Krauss, Lawrence M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1382618057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Why Are We Here?</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476777610/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trespassing on Einstein's Lawn]]></title><description><![CDATA[Before Amanda Gefter became a science writer, she was a twenty-one-year-old magazine assistant willing to sneak her and her father, Warren, into a conference devoted to their physics hero, John Wheeler.
