It is science's last and greatest challenge: fathoming the depths of the  night sky. The objective: to crack the cosmic code, to unravel the  blueprint for nature's grandest conception, a machine constructed on an  unimaginably vast scale - the Universe itself.   Today's model of  an expanding Universe - the big bang cosmology - is actually built on  principles derived from a few simple mathematical equations.  Gravity-warped space time, quantum mechanics, the physics of the  subatomic, these crucial insights, stemming from Einstein's  revolutionary theories of relativity, have led to a simple and elegant  framework within which the whole of the Universe, over billions of  years, has been described.  But recent evidence has begun to make  wrinkles in the neat fabric of the big bang cosmology. There is now  overwhelming evidence that there is far more stuff in the Universe than  we can see. What, and where, is this 'dark matter'? And it now appears  that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating: something out there -  some exotic 'dark energy' - is acting against gravity to push space and  time apart.   While offering a critical view of how all the  pieces in our current model fit together, Pedro Ferreira argues that Einstein's Universe may be just another stepping stone towards a new,  more profound and effective cosmology in the future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595021787409,"sku":"GOR002466701","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363245920529,"sku":"CIN0753822563G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50407978533137,"sku":"NGR9780753822562","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50992014983441,"sku":"CIN0753822563VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53729432469777,"sku":"CIN0753822563A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0753822563.jpg?v=1751421231"},{"product_id":"audiovisual-disruption-book-pedro-ferreira-9783837674163","title":"Audiovisual Disruption","description":"Post-digital art suggests a form of embodiment of digital technologies that unfolds in physical space through hands-on material approaches, and even the repurposing of older analogue media. Pedro Ferreira examines these aesthetics in contemporary audiovisual arts as reactions to our post-digital condition. He traces four post-digital territories by looking on the digital infrastructure, within the effects of the post-digital condition, in-between digital and non-digital media as media hybrids, and off digital media in a turn to analogue media. Concluding with a series of artworks, this study exposes the material, sociocultural and environmental consequences of digital technologies in our post-digital age.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52153813369105,"sku":"NGR9783837674163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783837674163.jpg?v=1757622113"},{"product_id":"portugal-antigo-e-moderno-diccionario-geographico-estatistico-chorographico-hera-book-pedro-ferreira-9781022442955","title":"Portugal antigo e moderno: Diccionario geographico, estatistico, chorographico, heraldico, archeologico, historico, biographico e etymologico de todas ... numero de aldeias ...; 8 (Portuguese Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Portuguese-language dictionary provides detailed geographic, statistical, heraldic, archaeological, historical, biographical, and etymological information on all the cities, towns, and parishes of Portugal, as well as a large number of villages.
