L’adaptation et la curiosité sont les principaux moteurs de l’évolution de l’humanitéFlorence Porcel fait partie des premières personnes à avoir appris le lancement du projet Mars One. Elle, qui n’ignore rien des controverses, des réserves des scientifiques ou des incertitudes techniques...

Fouler la « Planète Rouge », un rêve qui deviendra bientôt réalité Alors qu’il était encore au collège, Alexandre Mangeot affirmait sans ciller à ses camarades de classe : « Un jour, j’irai sur Mars ! » Le jeune homme, qui n’a jamais dévié de sa route, finit aujourd’hui un post-doctorat...

L’homme est-il psychologiquement capable d’endurer le confinement d’un voyage sur Mars ?Un an et demi enfermé dans un grand bunker coupé de la lumière du jour, au service de la recherche scientifique et sans aucun contact possible avec l’extérieur ; voilà en quelques mots l’expérience...

Based on the latest missions results and supported by commissioned artwork, this book explores the possible lessons we may learn from exoplanets. As the number of known Earth-like objects grows significantly, the author explores what is known about the growing roster of "pale blue dots"...

Ever since the Montgolfier's hot air balloon carried a chicken, a goat, and a duck into the Parisian skies, scientists have dreamed of contraptions to explore the atmosphere. With the advent of the space age, new airborne inventions were needed. From the Soviet Venus balloons to the advanced studies...

The tall title says it all. Those conscious beings that do not know reality or do not know the truth thus they will not be able to live in reality or in the truth nor will they live as reality or as the truth they them very selves and they live as if they do not live. And in truth, they will die because...

The original work presented in this thesis constitutes an important contribution to modern Cosmic Ray (CR) physics, and comes during one of the most exciting periods of this field. The first part introduces a new numerical code (DRAGON) to model the CR propagation in our Galaxy. The code is then used...

Neutrino oscillation (N.O.) is the only firm evidence of the physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and is one of the hottest topics in elementary particle physics today. This book focuses on the N.O., from its history to the future prospects, from the basic theories to the experiments. Various...

Considering transport or tendency of transport of physical entities from an initial to a final point,we come to a similar basis of understanding of various physical phenomena.The trajectory-behaviour of such transport represents the effect or field of influence.This way,we may explain cluster-formation...

This book takes the reader for a short journey over the structures of matter showing that their main properties can be obtained even at a quantitative level with a minimum background knowledge including, besides first year calculus and physics, the extensive use of dimensional analysis and the three...

Written in an informal and engaging style, this volume traces the discoveries that led to our understanding of the size and structure of the Milky Way, and the conclusive evidence for a massive black hole at its center. Robert H. Sanders, an astronomer who witnessed many of these developments, describes...

This book invites the reader to understand our Universe, not just marvel at it. From the clock-like motions of the planets to the catastrophic collapse of a star into a black hole, gravity controls the Universe. Gravity is central to modern physics, helping to answer the deepest questions about the...

Einstein's Special Relativity (E-SR) is the cornerstone of physics. De Sitter invariant SR (dS/AdS-SR) is a natural extension of E-SR, hence it relates to the foundation of physics. This book provides a description to dS/AdS-SR in terms of Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formulation associated with spacetime...
