Opis

NOVEMBER 13, 2015. * The latest advances in physics and cosmology are important and exciting. This book provides this information for both the general reader and the science student. It also serves as a reference book. Information is indexed and easily found and used. Content includes: *A timeline of key happenings in the history of our Universe including the birth of the Universe 13.8 billion years ago, first multi-cell life on Earth 4 billion years ago, Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity 1905-1915, and the end of the Universe a few hundred billion years or so from now. *The values of important constants such as the speed of light and the mass of the sun to nine significant digits. *Basic science information (a quick course in general physics). *Tiny unseen particles that make up the atoms of our planet. Higgs Boson that was experimentally detected at the Higgs Boson at the high-energy collider at CERN, Switzerland in July 2012. *Gravity Waves * Information about empty space before Big Bang, at the Big Bang, during the Big Bang, after Big Bang. * Empty space beyond our Universe and empty space after our Universe disappears. *There are 22 sections including: * Timelines of Earth, Our Universe, History, and Science *Basic Physics: Force, Mass, Work, Energy, Power, Momentum, and Pressure * Light Radiation and Spectrum *Wave Motion and Wave Mechanics * Elementary Particles -- Fermions (Leptons and Quarks) and Bosons * Composite Particles: Hadrons (Mesons, Baryons, Tetra Quarks, and Penta-Quarks) * Particle Interactions * Conservation Principles * Super-Symmetric Particles * Higgs Fields and Bosons * Origin of Gravity * Spacetime * Geodesic Warps * Cosmology * Before Big Bang * After Big Bang * Expanding Universe * After our Universe ends * Dark Energy and Composition of Matter * Other Universes * Inter-Universe Travel * Special Relativity * General Relativity * Understanding Our Universe Using Scientific Method
