Precision Cosmology: The First Half Million Years
ISBN: 9780521554336 / Angielski / Twarda / 774 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cosmology seeks to characterise our Universe in terms of models based on well-understood and tested physics. Today we know our Universe with a precision that once would have been unthinkable. This book develops the entire mathematical, physical and statistical framework within which this has been achieved. It tells the story of how we arrive at our profound conclusions, starting from the early twentieth century and following developments up to the latest data analysis of big astronomical datasets. It provides an enlightening description of the mathematical, physical and statistical basis for...

Gems Unified Gravity, Electromagnetic and Strong Interactions: Manifest Quark Confinement, a Solution for the Proton Spin Puzzle, Modified Gravity on
ISBN: 9780997076196 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This technical book describes a unified theory of Gravitation, ElectroMagnetism and the Strong interactions (GEMS). This theory provides explicit color confinement, and provides a formulation of gravity that modifies gravity on the galactic scale with results similar to MoND - Modified Newtonian Gravity but without the sacrifice of conventional principles of mechanics or quantum theory. With the introduction of ElectroMagnetism we find a new mechanism for gluon-photon interactions that may solve the long-standing 'missing proton spin' puzzle. The combined theory is consistent with our... This technical book describes a unified theory of Gravitation, ElectroMagnetism and the Strong interactions (GEMS). This theory provides explicit c... |

Imagining the Creator God
ISBN: 9781532610158 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since it was demonstrated in the 1920s that the universe, with its trillions of galaxies, is caught up in a process of steady expansion, it became evident that it must have originated from an ""initial singularity,"" a ""Big Bang,"" which gave rise to the formation of subatomic parts, atoms, molecules, clouds of gas, and finally, stars and galaxies. Running this expansion back in time, scientists began to reckon with the miracle of an evolving universe of which we are the outcome: the iron in our blood has been formed in the stars. This book gives an overview of the cosmologies that were...

Nature and the Artificial: Aristotelian Reflections on the Operative Imperative
ISBN: 9781498538848 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For years now much attention has been given to the phenomenon of the artificial. Speculation regarding "what is real?" abounds in the sciences, literature, as well as films and other visual arts. This work presents the first critical, sustained, philosophical study on this topic. Nature and the Artificial: Aristotelian Reflections on the Operative Imperative reveals the inner logic of the artificial by reflecting it off the metaphysical relationship between nature and techne as conceived by Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. During early modernity, figures such as Descartes and Bacon transformed...
