"At this very moment, we are moving through space at 130 miles per second, and yet we don't notice at all. Nothing slips and falls off the kitchen table as the Earth spins, and our bodies aren't catapulted against random buildings and trees by the planet orbiting the Sun. We, and everything around us, move at the same rate, so we simply don't notice the force that propels us through space. Nor do we notice the strangest fact of all, that we and everything...

Description
This book deals concisely with all the theories of contemporary physics, from relativity (restricted and general) to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, via nuclear and particle physics. In addition, the rudiments of plasma physics, solid state physics, semiconductor physics, and group theory are exposed.The approach of this textbook is to deal directly with the mathematical formalism and to present the main equations of each theory, explaining...

In this book, we analyze, from a self-taught perspective, the question, "Will there be a fundamental theory of the laws that govern the world we live in?" Shrouded in extreme abstraction embodied in self-described gobbledygook, accessible only to a trained practitioner, modern physics can seem like a capricious subject. Nevertheless, with perseverance, at least a rudimentary understanding of modern physics is available to the uninitiated spectator....

In the bestselling The Physics of Star Trek, the renowned theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss took readers on an entertaining and eye-opening tour of the Star Trek universe to see how it stacked up against the real universe. Now, responding to requests for more as well as to a number of recent exciting discoveries in physics and astronomy, Krauss takes a provocative look at how the laws of physics relate to notions from our popular culture -- not...

Physicist Stephen M. Barr's lucid Student's Guide to Natural Science aims to give students an understanding, in broad outline, of the nature, history, and great ideas of natural science from ancient times to the present, with a primary focus on physics. Barr begins with the contributions of the ancient Greeks, in particular the two great ideas that reality can be understood by the systematic use of reason and that phenomena have natural explanations....

Author
Description
Hurlburt Effect depicts the effect of total mass of unobservable space on quantum levels and radiation of the astrophysics big bang hole on the unobservable universe and the localized, observable big bang and observable universe. There were major shifts in mass and density of the structures of the earlier, larger unobservable universe with the unobservable universe's later, smaller big bang. The most surrounding space is the big bang hole which caused...

For centuries, physics has been the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world. From classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, physics has given us the tools to describe and predict the behavior of everything around us. But as our knowledge of the universe grows, we are forced to confront the limits of our current understanding.In "Beyond the Quantum World," we take a journey through cutting-edge research that is expanding the boundaries...
