Exact Space-Times in Einstein's General Relativity
ISBN: 9781107406186 / Angielski / Miękka / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Einstein s theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learned about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealized examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein s equations with a particular emphasis on what they mean, both geometrically and physically. New concepts, such as big bang and big crunch-types of singularities, different kinds of horizons and gravitational waves, are described in the context of the particular space-times in which they naturally arise. These notions are...

Extra Dimensions in Space and Time
ISBN: 9781461425328 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstom's 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza-Klein theory didn't generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems with inconsistencies. With the advent of supergravity theory (the theory that unifies general relativity and supersymmetry theories) in late 1970's and eventually, string theories (1980s) and...

The Recursive Universe: Cosmic Complexity and the Limits of Scientific Knowledge
ISBN: 9780486490984 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. No winners, no losers, and no end the Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is no ordinary computer game. Created by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970, Life debuted in "Scientific American, " where it was hailed as the key to a new area of mathematical research, the field of cellular automata. Less of a game than a demonstration of logical possibilities, Life is based on simple rules and produces patterns of light and dark on computer screens that reflect the unpredictability, complexity, and beauty of the universe.
This fascinating popular science journey explores Life's... No winners, no losers, and no end the Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is no ordinary computer game. Created by British mathematician John Hor...

General Relativity and John Archibald Wheeler
ISBN: 9789400732568 / Angielski / Miękka / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Observational and experimental data pertaining to gravity and cosmology are changing our view of the Universe. General relativity is a fundamental key for the understanding of these observations and its theory is undergoing a continuing enhancement of its intersection with observational and experimental data. These data include direct observations and experiments carried out in our solar system, among which there are direct gravitational wave astronomy, frame dragging and tests of gravitational theories from solar system and spacecraft observations. This book explores John... Observational and experimental data pertaining to gravity and cosmology are changing our view of the Universe. General relativity is a fundamental ... |

The Search
ISBN: 9781625092175 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I had the pleasure of knowing Robert Ryan for many years. I read "The Search" shortly after it was written. While he was writing the book, I ask Robert, why call it "The Search"? He responded, "I want people to discover the meaning of their life and relationship to God." At first I didn't understand what he was talking about. As I read "The Search," I began to understand. The book shows you our beginning, and why we are here, where we are going, and how to improve our time here on earth. The book offers proof of a supreme being. It shows how science and religion can work together to show how...

InScience Set Free (originally published to acclaimin the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, butdangerous for the future of humanity. According to these...

The Extravagant Universe: Exploding Stars, Dark Energy, and the Accelerating Cosmos
ISBN: 9780691173184 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Extravagant Universe tells the story of a remarkable adventure of scientific discovery. One of the world's leading astronomers, Robert Kirshner, takes readers inside a lively research team on the quest that led them to an extraordinary cosmological discovery: the expansion of the universe is accelerating under the influence of a dark energy that makes space itself expand. In addition to sharing the story of this exciting discovery, Kirshner also brings the science up-to-date in a new epilogue. He explains how the idea of an accelerating universe--once a daring interpretation of... The Extravagant Universe tells the story of a remarkable adventure of scientific discovery.

A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe
ISBN: 9781781481417 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people just accept that our universe is ruled by gravity; an assumption that is wrong. Evidence instead shows that the force responsible for all of the objects and events we observe throughout the universe is the electric force that enables current flow and therefore magnetic fields to exist. If we consider that the electric force is fundamentally one thousand, billion, billion, billion, billion times more powerful than gravity and that the universe consists of 99.99% plasma; charged matter through which electric currents flow, then you have good reason to open your mind and read what...

Asymptotic Safety and Black Holes
ISBN: 9783319012933 / Angielski / Twarda / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the open challenges in fundamental physics is to combine Einstein's theory of general relativity with the principles of quantum mechancis. In this thesis, the question is raised whether metric quantum gravity could be fundamental in the spirit of Steven Weinberg's seminal asymptotic safety conjecture, and if so, what are the consequences for the physics of small, possibly Planck-size black holes? To address the first question, new techniques are provided which allow, for the first time, a self-consistent study of high-order polynomial actions including up to 34 powers in the Ricci...

Frühneuzeitliche Selbsterhaltung: Telesio Und Die Naturphilosophie Der Renaissance
ISBN: 9783484365414 / Angielski / Twarda / 449 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Im 17. Jahrhundert wird der Begriff der conservatio sui (Selbsterhaltung) durch Hobbes und Spinoza zu einem der philosophischen Leitkonzepte der Neuzeit. Doch wie ist es zu dieser Konjunktur gekommen? Das Buch verfolgt die Entwicklung des Begriffs innerhalb der Naturphilosophie der Renaissance, insbesondere bei Bernardino Telesio (1509-1588). Gegen die Interpretationen von Dilthey und Blumenberg und die Schlagworte von 'Stoa-Rezeption', 'Renaissance-Pantheismus' und '-Animismus' wird die Herkunft von Telesios Denken aus der Transformation des Aristotelismus seit dem 15. Jahrhundert... Im 17. Jahrhundert wird der Begriff der conservatio sui (Selbsterhaltung) durch Hobbes und Spinoza zu einem der philosophischen Leitkonzepte... |
