The Noetics of Nature: Environmental Philosophy and the Holy Beauty of the Visible
ISBN: 9780823254651 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemplative or "noetic" knowledge has traditionally been seen as the highest mode of understanding, a view that persists both in many non-Western cultures and in Eastern Christianity, where "theoria physike," or the illumined understanding of creation that follows the purification of the heart, is seen to provide deeper insights into nature than the discursive rationality modernity has used to dominate and conquer it. Working from texts in Eastern Orthodox philosophy and theology not widely known in the West, as well as a variety of sources including mystics such as the Sufi Ibn 'Arabi,...

Adventures in the Science of Cosmology
ISBN: 9781484818299 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is written primarily for young teens (ages 13 to 16). It can, however, be enjoyed by anyone from 13 to 113 who has an interest in science - especially if they have never given astronomy or cosmology much thought. Informally presented in an entertaining and chatty style, the book teaches some of the basic science and associated math (dead simple algebra) that astronomers work with - but more importantly - it shows how these geeky scientists actually use this stuff to figure out what's going on in the universe. For example, you will learn: (1) Not just what chemical elements reside in...

Dark Matter Evidence Found at CERN
ISBN: 9781484985397 / Angielski / Miękka / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Your author decided to write this book about Dark Matter when observations from the CERN reported that evidence of Dark Matter, which consists of about 25% of the mass of the Universe, had been found early in the year 2013. I found there was a tremendous amount of research going on about the Cosmology of our Universe including such items as Dark Matter. I performed extensive research on the Internet of the research taking place to discover what Dark Matter is. When I was a student at Caltech for my BS in Physics and at USC for my PhD in EE, Internet did not exist. It is exciting that Internet...

The B-L Phase Transition: Implications for Cosmology and Neutrinos
ISBN: 9783319009629 / Angielski / Twarda / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Several of the very foundations of the cosmological standard model -- the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter, and the origin of the hot big bang itself -- still call for an explanation from the perspective of fundamental physics. This work advocates one intriguing possibility for a consistent cosmology that fills in the theoretical gaps while being fully in accordance with the observational data. At very high energies, the universe might have been in a false vacuum state that preserved B-L, the difference between the baryon number B and the lepton number L as a local symmetry. In...

Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe
ISBN: 9780099505945 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of our most distinguished scientists offers a radical new theory of the origin, and ultimate end, of the Universe.
Professor Sir Roger Penrose's groundbreaking and bestselling The Road to Reality provided a complete guide to the laws that govern our universe. In Cycles of Time, Penrose offers a completely new perspective on the often-asked question, 'what came before the Big Bang?' The answer that Penrose proposes involves a curious but fully rational way of looking at the expected ultimate fate of our acclerating expanded universe, and showing that its end can in fact...

The Life of the Cosmos
ISBN: 9780195126648 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lee Smolin offers a new theory of the universe that is at once elegant, comprehensive, and radically different from anything proposed before. Smolin posits that a process of self organization like that of biological evolution shapes the universe, as it develops and eventually reproduces through black holes, each of which may result in a new big bang and a new universe. Natural selection may guide the appearance of the laws of physics, favoring those universes which best reproduce. The result would be a cosmology according to which life is a natural consequence of the fundamental principles on...

Laws and Symmetry
ISBN: 9780198248606 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Metaphysicians speak of laws of nature in terms of necessity and universality; scientists, in terms of symmetry and invariance. In this book van Fraassen argues that no metaphysical account of laws can succeed. He analyzes and rejects the arguments that there are laws of nature, or that we must believe there are, and argues that we should disregard the idea of law as an adequate clue to science. After exploring what this means for general epistemology, the author develops the empiricist view of science as a construction of models to represent the phenomena.

Higher Speculations: Grand Theories and Failed Revolutions in Physics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9780199599882 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history, people have tried to construct 'theories of everything': highly ambitious attempts to understand nature in its totality. This account presents these theories in their historical contexts, from little known hypotheses from the past to modern developments such as the theory of superstrings, the anthropic principle and ideas of many universes, and uses them to problematize the limits of scientific knowledge. Do claims to theories of everything belong to science at all? Which are the epistemic standards on which an alleged scientific theory of the universe - or the multiverse...

Higgs: The invention and discovery of the 'God Particle'
ISBN: 9780199679577 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The hunt for the Higgs particle has involved the biggest, most expensive experiment ever. So exactly what is this particle? Why does it matter so much? What does it tell us about the Universe? Did the discovery announced on 4 July 2012 finish the search? And was finding it really worth all the effort? The short answer is yes. The Higgs field is proposed as the way in which particles gain mass - a fundamental property of matter. It's the strongest indicator yet that the Standard Model of physics really does reflect the basic building blocks of our Universe. Little wonder the hunt and...
