Have you ever wondered how our universe began? Or what it takes to put humans on the moon? Do you know what happens in the microscopic world of a life-saving vaccine? What would you do if you could travel through space and time? Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this beautiful collection of up-to-the-minute essays, mind-blowing facts and out-of-this-world colour photographs, by the world's leading scientists including Professor Stephen Hawking himself. This edition features brand-new content from Dr Mary Dobson: Plagues, Pandemics and Planetary Health. This unmissable volume was curated by Stephen and Lucy Hawking, whose series of children's books George's Secret Key was a global hit. George's stories are punctuated with fascinating real-life facts and insights from leading scientists and now this incredible non-fiction has been collected into one bumper volume, with new content from key scientific figures and up-to-the-minute facts and figures for readers in 2021. READERS LOVE UNLOCKING THE UNIVERSE: "Despite its scientific content the essays are written in a very accessible style and the many topics investigated which range from the physical explanations of the universe to earth science to robotics and future predictions. Highly recommended for curious minds from around 10 years upwards" - Sue Warren, Blogger "My 9 y.o. loves this book. We've previously discussed a lot of the concepts, but this seems to answer questions I hadn't thought of, but my son wanted to know"

Examines the education, research, and personal life of the renowned British theoretical physicist who has taken the study of cosmology farther than most in his field, despite his need for wheelchair and computer in order to travel and communicate.

Deep Space is where we want to go but we are limited by our knowledge and understanding of the universe. If we knew more about why the universe looks the way it does, could we not go further? Over the last hundred years, through technological advances humanity has been able to reach out and observe the great cosmic mysteries. Penetrating over 15,000,000,000 light years into the past only to find more and more enigmas compounding upon our original, fantastical, and yet unresolved discoveries. Imagine if our understanding of the foundations of astrophysics were intact. Where would we be able to go? In this book, Keys to Unlocking the Universe, Clemons Kunkel presents his ground breaking theories on all great scientific discoveries, such as Black Holes, Dark Matter, and the Dark Energy, that were previously disjointed, now brought together in one cohesive theory. Through four years of presentations and research into the theories, he has discovered over thirty- seven empirical evidences providing substantial, undeniable validation beyond coincidence. A cornerstone of this theory includes the events (CMB, Great Attractor, Great Wall, Great Void) viewed previously as isolated, unknown phenomena can now be understood as integral. New theories on explaining why the universe looks the way it does, because it has to. This is not Super String Theory or M theory or Super Gravity Theory; it is a totally new mind-blowing theory. How is space squeezed and pushed on by the other dimensions? Is it possible to travel faster than the speed of light? Do you know how fast you are traveling in space right now? If you take just one of the speeds like the Milky Way galaxy, it is moving toward a region of space call the GREAT ATTRACTOR at a breakneck speed of 14,000,000 (14 Million) miles an hour. What if we were to use the speeds that we already have to help us reach that unbelievable speed of light (186,282 miles per second )and not break the know laws of science, what would that be worth in space travel. Just think about living on an exoplanet (planets around other suns) would you even want to go? Mars One has a fantastic idea of putting people on Mars. More than 2000 brave and adventurous people sign up to live on Mar, did you sign up? Clemons Kunkel did because he thinks we must get used to traveling to another planet close to us before we can try deep space exploration. This well take some time getting everything put together to live off earth, but time is something that we may not have that much of. Why? There have been 5 mass extinctions here on earth and we should not be here for the six catastrophe event, space is where we must go to survive. We are also destroying earth resources, there are just too many of us, but there is a easy solution. Move into space where there is plenty of room for us to live, we just need a better way of getting around the cosmos. The new theory in this book maybe what we meed to make that possible. So come on in and read these unbelievable theories, of why our universe looks the way it does.

George travels to the future in the epic conclusion of the George’s Secret Key series from Lucy Hawking. When George finds a way to escape the spacecraft Artemis, where he has been trapped, he is overjoyed. But something is wrong. There’s a barren wasteland where his hometown used to be, intelligent robots roam the streets, and no one will talk to George about the Earth that he used to know. With the help of an unexpected new friend, can George find out what—or who—is behind this terrible new world, before it’s too late?

The Origins of Life and the Universe is the culmination of a university science professor's search for understanding and is based on his experiences teaching the fundamental issues of physics, chemistry, and biology in the classroom. What is life? Where did it come from? How can understanding the origins of life on Earth help us understand the origins of the universe, and vice versa? These are questions that have occupied us all. This is a book, then, about the beginning of things—of the universe, matter, stars, and planetary systems, and finally, of life itself—topics of profound interest that are rarely considered together. After surveying prescientific accounts of the origins of life, the book examines the concepts of modern physics and cosmology, in particular the two pillars of modern physics, relativity and quantum theory, and how they can be applied to the Big Bang model of the creation of the universe. The author then considers molecular genetics and DNA, the famed building block of life. In addition to assessing various hypotheses concerning the appearance of the first bacterial cells and their evolution into more complex eukaryotic cells, this section explains how "protocells" may have started a kind of integrated metabolism and how horizontal gene transfer may have speeded up evolution. Finally, the book discusses the possibility that life did not originate on planet Earth but first appeared on other solar planets, or perhaps in other star systems. How would such a possibility affect our understanding of the meaning of life, or of its ultimate fate in the universe? The book ends as it begins, with profound questions and penetrating answers, a state-of-the-art guide to unlocking the scientific mysteries of life and matter.
