The zoomable universe : an epic tour through cosmic scale, from almost everything to nearly nothing / by Scharf, Caleb,1968-(CARDINAL)352726; Miller, Ron,1947-illustrator.(CARDINAL)316592; 5W Infographics,illustrator.;

Astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and artist Ron Miller take us on an epic tour through all known scales of reality, from the largest possible magnitude to the smallest. Drawing on cutting-edge science, they begin at the limits of the observable universe, a scale spanning 10^27 meters -- about 93 billion light-years. And they end in the subatomic realm, at 10^-35 meters, where the fabric of space-time itself confounds all known rules of physics. In between are galaxies, stars and planets, oceans and continents, plants and animals, microorganisms, atoms, and much, much more.Almost everything -- Darkness and light -- The slow, the fast, and the fantastic -- Planets, planets, planets -- A world we call Earth -- Being conscious in the cosmos -- From many to one -- The undergrowth -- The emptiness of matter -- It's full of...fields -- From nearly nothing to almost everything.Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-204).

Dark matter, dark energy [videorecording] : the dark side of the universe by Carroll, Sean.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;

Producer, Zachary H. Rhoades ; director, Jon Leven ; camera operators, Jim Allen, Alexis Doty, Lonnie Anderson (et. al.) ; academic content supervisor, Jay Tate.Taught by Sean Carroll, professor at California Institute of Technology.Dr. Carroll explains the subject of dark matter and dark energy in 24 lectures. He explains why scientists believe we live in a smooth, expanding universe that originated in a hot, dense state called the Big Bang. He describes the features of the infant universe that led to the large-scale structure we observe today. He takes you through the standard model of particle physics and shows how it provides the framework for understanding the interaction of all matter and radiation. And, he helps you understand why dark matter and dark energy are logical consequences of a wide range of scientific theories and observations and how together they complete a grand picture of the universe that has emerged over the last century.DVD.

Designed to the core / by Ross, Hugh(Hugh Norman),1945-author.(CARDINAL)377130;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-280) and index."In Designed to the Core, Hugh Ross takes us on an unprecedented journey to explore the necessary requirements for a planet to support complex life. His truly comprehensive approach to the subject examines every aspect of Earth's life-friendly environment, from the cosmic supercluster that we inhabit, to our location in the Milky Way, and even deep inside Earth's core. The sheer number of the needed parameters is mind-boggling and unambiguously answers the question of whether Earth is unique in its capability of supporting complex life. The only question left for the reader to ponder is how such a fortunate planet could have come into existence at all. Many of us who have pondered that question will agree with Dr. Ross, that such exquisite design requires an intentional and powerful Designer"--Page 4 of cover.The anthropic principle -- Exterior design features -- Large-scale cosmic structures -- The Laniakea Supercluster -- The Virgo Cluster interior -- The Local Group interior -- The Milky Way Galaxy interior -- The Local Arm -- Interior features of the sun -- Our planetary system -- Planetary migration and orbital configuration -- Small solar system bodies -- The Lunar interior -- Earth's core features -- Earth's mantle -- Earth's crustal interior -- Interior design implications -- Appendix: Solar elemental abundance--Rocky planet configuration link.
