Cosmological Special Relativity: Structure of Space, Time and Velocity
ISBN: 9789810230791 / Angielski / Twarda / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This volume deals with special relativity theory and its applications to cosmology. It presents Einstein's theory of space and time in detail, and describes the large-scale structure of space, time and velocity as a new cosmological special relativity. A cosmological Lorentz-like transformation, which relates events at different cosmic times, is derived and applied. A new law of addition of cosmic times is obtained, and the inflation of the space at the early universe is derived, both from the cosmological transformations. The book should be of interest to cosmologists, astrophysicists,...

2001: A Spacetime Odyssey, Procs of the Inaugural Conf of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics
ISBN: 9789810248062 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Two theories revolutionized the 20th century view of space and time: Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Their union has given rise to elementary particle theories with extra spacetime dimensions, the inflationary model of big bang cosmology, the hypothesis of dark matter in the universe, the discovery of radiation from quantum black holes, and the fuzzy spacetime geometry of superstrings and M-theory. In this work, experts present developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, and share their thoughts on the future of spacetime physics.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A presentation of results on the largest fractal structures in the universe. It seeks to guide the reader, in a simple way, to the frontiers of astronomy, explaining how fractals appear in cosmic physics, from our solar system to the megafractals in deep space. It also offers a personal view of the history of the idea of self-similarity and of cosmological principles, from Plato's ideal architecture of the heavens to Mandelbrot's fractals in the modern physical cosmos. In addition, it discusses the great fractal debate in astronomy (after Luciano Pietronero's first fractal analysis of the...

Space-Time-Matter: Modern Higher-Dimensional Cosmology (2nd Edition)
ISBN: 9789812706324 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Albert Einstein, together with Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein, realized that extra dimensions can be used to unify the different fields of physics, as well as unifying the fields with their material sources. In fact, it was Einstein's dream to transpose the ?AAbase wood?AA of the matter term in his field equations to the “marble” of the geometrical term. During his lifetime, this kind of unified theory achieved only partial success. But the modern approach, outlined in this bestseller, is elegant and agrees with all the classical tests. The basic idea is to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In my early years I was constituted in the exacting imperatives of philosophical analysis. That stern face is present in the composition of the Newton essays chosen here for republication. It is my hope that potential readers will be patient with the old Adam of analysis, and seize the portrait of Newton's intellec- tual world presented in these essays. It is gratifying for me to acknowledge the encouragement of Robert Butts and John Nicholas of the University of Western Ontario, intellectual comrades in arms. It was at Western that I began my intellectual journey, and many of the present...

ISBN: 9780547053585 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Goldilocks Enigma is Paul Davies's eagerly awaited return to cosmology, the successor to his critically acclaimed bestseller The Mind of God. Here he tackles all the "big questions," including the biggest of them all: Why does the universe seem so well adapted for life?
In his characteristically clear and elegant style, Davies shows how recent scientific discoveries point to a perplexing fact: many different aspects of the cosmos, from the properties of the humble carbon atom to the speed of light, seem tailor-made to produce life. A radical new theory says it's because our universe...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This interesting book reviews WMAP's main results (2003) and discusses in detail how the accurate qualitative results for the “age” of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published five years before in Acta Cosmologica, Krakow. In the final chapter on “Cosmic Numbers”, it is shown that, as a result of the coincidence at decoupling time between atom formation and matter/radiation equality, a reasonable cosmic justification for the mass ratio of protons and electrons is obtained. /remove
