Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions. Remarkably, common themes persist that predict the evolution of species as readily as the orbits of planets or the collapse of stars into black holes.

The founder of modern science and the embodiment of the conflict between science and faith, Galileo remains the most fascinating figure of his age. In this biography, James Reston Jr. provides a lively, vivid portrait of Galileo, taking the listener to the heart of this passionate, embattled, arrogant, and brilliant man.

Tim Donovan is a Catholic priest with a guilty conscience - though not in the way you’d guess. And Katherine Donne is a Parisian socialite who long ago kicked her self-respect to the curb - for good and for ill. And much closer, we have a group of men whose fortunes, graying temples, and positions in life are distinguished and enviable. But their morals? Anything but. And that’s where Evan Reed comes in.

Il Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo è un celeberrimo trattato di Galileo Galilei, scritto sotto forma dialogica negli anni tra il 1624 e il 1630 e pubblicato nel 1632. L'opera, strutturata nel dialogo fra tre personaggi: Simplicio (che riprende il nome dell'antico filosofo del VI secolo Simplicio di Cilicia), Sagredo e Filippo Salviati, ebbe da subito un enorme successo, ma la Chiesa, che dapprima ne aveva concesso l'imprimatur, mutò radicalmente la sua posizione, inserendola nell'Indice dei libri proibiti nel 1633.

"Il pensiero logico, da solo, non ci può fornire conoscenze sul mondo dell'esperienza e termina in essa. Le proposizioni puramente logiche sono vuote davanti alla realtà. È grazie a questa conoscenza e soprattutto per averla fatta penetrare a colpi di martello nel mondo della scienza, che Galileo è diventato il padre della fisica moderna e soprattutto delle scienze naturali moderne". Albert Einstein.

Un convento. Una muerte. Un descubrimiento que cambiará el mundo para siempre. Corre el año de 1631. Mientras la peste asola Florencia, una red de intrigas y crímenes envuelve al convento de San Mateo, donde han tomado los hábitos Virginia y Livia, las dos hijas del científico más vigilado por la Inquisición, Galileo Galilei. Dentro de los muros de este recinto, ambas hermanas en compañía de sor Agnese, una monja apasionada por la ciencia, ayudan a transcribir las novedades astronómicas que surgen de la mente del genio.

In 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a "hurried little masterpiece" in John Heilbron's words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope, Galileo dramatically challenged our idea of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Indeed, the appearance of the little book is regarded as one of the great moments in the history of science.

Where Time Comes From isn’t just a book — it’s a handbook for humans navigating reality. Part philosophy, part science, and entirely transformational, this guide reveals how time is not a fixed force outside of us but a responsive, electromagnetic dynamic we participate in with every choice we make. Author Michael Galileo (inventor of the Real Time Earth Clock) shares a deeply original vision of how the universe works: how each moment logically and consistently becomes the next, without judgment, but always in response to the conditions and choices within it.

La convivencia que habitualmente rige en la modesta población de Cafarnaúm se verá perturbada por la violación y el asesinato de una muchacha.

Ross Jenkins, Art Mueller, and Morris Abrams are not your average high-school students. While other kids are cruising around in their cars or playing ball, this trio, known as the Galileo Club, is experimenting with rocket fuels. Art's uncle, the nuclear physicist Dr. Donald Cargraves, offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to construct and crew a rocket that will take them to the moon. But there are those who don't share their dream and who will stop at nothing to keep their rocket grounded.

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

Galileo Galilei was the foremost scientist of his day. Though he never left Italy, his inventions and discoveries were heralded around the world. His telescopes allowed him to reveal the heavens and enforce the astounding argument that the earth moves around the sun. For this belief, he was...

Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems compares the Copernican or Heliocentric system with the Ptolemaic or Peripatetic, system of the cosmos. Published in Florence in 1632, it resulted in him being tried before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, Galileo masterfully shows the truth of the Copernican system that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Dialogue is one of the most important treatises ever written. A work of supreme clarity and accessibility, it remains as accessible now as when it was published.

Nel Quattrocento e nel Cinquecento, la "casa" in cui gli uomini abitavano diventò più grande e misteriosa. Si scoprì l'esistenza di un nuovo continente, l'America; e qualcuno intuì che la Terra non era il centro dell'Universo, ma un sassolino che volava in uno spazio i cui confini, se esistevano, non potevano che essere irraggiungibili. A questa dilatazione dello spazio si accompagnò una dilatazione del tempo: giacché l'Antichità, che non era mai stata dimenticata, cessò di essere il passato e diventò un modello vivo e vicino.
