Towards Quantum Gravity: Proceedings of the XXXV International Winter School on Theoretical Physics Held in Polanica, Poland, 2–11 February 1999
ISBN: 9783540669104 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to give graduate students an overview of quantum gravity but it also covers related topics from astrophysics. Some well-written contributions can serve as an introduction into basic conceptual concepts like time in quantum gravity or the emergence of a classical world from quantum cosmology. This makes the volume attractive to philosophers of science, too. Other topics are black holes, gravitational waves and non-commutative extensions of physical theories.

Artificial Black Holes
ISBN: 9789810248079 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Physicists are pondering on the possibility of simulating black holes in the laboratory by means of various "analogue models". These analogue models, typically based on condensed matter physics, can be used to help us understand general relativity (Einstein's gravity); conversely, abstract techniques developed in general relativity can sometimes be used to help us understand certain aspects of condensed matter physics. This text contains 13 chapters - written by experts in general relativity, particle physics and condensed matter physics - that explore various aspects of this two-way traffic.

Theory of Orbital Motion
ISBN: 9789812709127 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Keppler puzzled over it. So did Einstein. In fact, most of the greatest theorists had at least a thought or two about orbital motion, especially in the rise and growth of space science. Tan (physics, Alabama A&M U.) brings the concepts to the introductory and intermediate undergraduate levels, working primarily from first principles and beginning with Kepler's laws of planetary motion and Newton's law of gravitation. Thus armed, he explains the average and extremum values of variables, the central force problem, vector hodographs in planetary motion, planetary motion in Cartesian coordinates,...

Black Hole Physics
ISBN: 9780792316794 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In these last years Black hole Physics has developed rapidly both from theoretical and observational aspects: especially as regards quantum aspects many things must be clarified as for instance the processes occuring near mini black holes with spontaneous creation of particles that eventually lead to the evaporation of black hole. In these last stages probably a connection with string theory will appears. This field of research was subject of the NATO Adavanced study Institute on "Black Hole Physics" which was held at the Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture in Erice (Sicily, th...

Time's Arrows and Quantum Measurement
ISBN: 9780521561228 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an introduction to the arrow of time in thermodynamics and cosmology, and develops a new quantum measurement theory in which the foregoing concepts play an essential role. The first chapter is an overview and "route map" and is followed by an exposition of irreversibility, the expansion of the universe and other arrows of time. The author examines the thesis that the thermodynamic arrow follows the cosmological one, and in doing so extends traditional statistical mechanics. The second part of the book presents a new theory of quantum measurement and possible experimental tests....

The Music of the Big Bang: The Cosmic Microwave Background and the New Cosmology
ISBN: 9783540787266 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since its infancy, humankind has been seeking answers to some very basic and profound questions. Did the Universe begin? If it did, how old is it, and where did it come from? What is its shape? What is it made of? Fascinating myths and brilliant in- itions attempting to solve such enigmas can be found all through the history of human thought. Every culture has its own legends, itsownworldcreationtales, itsphilosophicalspeculations, itsre- gious beliefs. Modern science, however, cannot content itself with fanciful explanations, no matter how suggestive they are. No- days, our theories...

Supermassive Black Holes in the Distant Universe
ISBN: 9781402024702 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Quasars, and the menagerie of other galaxies with "unusual nuclei," now collectively known as Active Galactic Nuclei or AGN, have, in one form or another, sparked the interest of astronomers for over 60 years. The only known mechanism that can explain the staggering amounts of energy emitted by the innermost regions of these systems is gravitational energy release by matter falling towards a supermassive black hole --- a black hole whose mass is millions to billions of times the mass of our Sun. AGN emit radiation at all wavelengths. X-rays originating at a distance of a few times the event...

ISBN: 9783540878469 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In der vorliegenden Ausarbeitung von vier Vortragen, die ich an der Universitat Princeton im Mai 1921 gehalten habe, wollte ich die Hauptgedanken und mathematischen Methoden der Relativitatstheorie zusammenfassen. Dabei habe ich mich bemuht, alles weniger Wesentliche wegzulassen, das Grundsatzliche aber doch so zu behandeln, dass das Ganze als Einfuhrung fur alle diejenigen dienen kann, welche die Elemente der hoheren Mathematik beherrschen, aber nicht allzuviel Zeit und Muhe auf den Gegenstand verwenden wollen. Auf Vollstandigkeit kann diese kurze Darlegung selbstverstandlich keinen Anspruch...

Probing the Nature of Gravity: Confronting Theory and Experiment in Space
ISBN: 9781441913616 / Angielski / Twarda / 574 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Observing our Universe and its evolution with ever increasing sensitivity from ground-based or space-borne telescopes is posing great challenges to Fundamental Physics and Astronomy. The remnant cosmic microwave background, as beautifully measured by successive space missions COBE, WMAP, and now PLANCK, provides a unique probe of the very early stages of our Universe. The red-shift of atomic lines in distant galaxies, the dynamics of pulsars, the large scale structure of galaxies, and black holes are a few manifestations of the theory of General Relativity. Yet, today, we understand only 4%...

Self-Force and Inertia: Old Light on New Ideas
ISBN: 9783642047848 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The vast majority of particles in particle physics are today considered to be bound states of other particles. All forms of binding energy and kinetic energy in such a state have to be included in its inertial mass. This book revives the classical explanation for this in the case of electromagnetic interactions. But it is also a reminder of the many benefits of this classical understanding that are simply dropped in modern accounts of inertia. This is a book for the motivated student who feels it is useful to remember where our theories come from. There is also a comprehensive overview of the...
