Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the universe could be understood like a machine?Alien Physics takes readers on a journey through comets, moons, black holes, and Martian mysteries-seen not through the eyes of an astronomer, but through those of a jet-engine engineer.Allan Callweld, aerospace engineer and former jet-engine designer, grew up fascinated by the night sky. Decades later, after a career in Rolls-Royce, GE Aviation, and Safran, he brings that same engineer's instinct to the cosmos. To him, the universe is not abstract-it's a system. A place where plumes behave like exhaust streams, where instabilities mirror compressor surge, and where catastrophic stellar events echo the failures engineers fear most.Inside, you'll discover: Why an interstellar comet resembles foreign object debris in an engine test cellHow lunar cycles affect mission design just like vibration cycles affect hardware lifeWhy strange rocks on Mars test our diagnostic instincts the same way borescope images doHow black holes can be read as ultimate system-level failuresBlending real aerospace logic with cosmic wonder, Alien Physics offers a unique, engineer's guide to the skies. This is not another astronomy book. It's a fresh perspective-where engineering intuition unlocks the mysteries of space.If you've ever loved machines as much as the stars, this is the book you've been waiting for. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
