ISBN: 9781599428666 / Angielski / Miękka / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A key unresolved issue lies at the heart of our science -- the quest of Aristotle, Newton, Einstein, Hawking and many others, now widely known as the Theory of Everything. This ultimate understanding is expected to transform science and resolve its many mysteries -- all via one single overlooked principle in nature that will explain, simplify and unify everything. This quest has produced theories such as Special Relativity, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, enormous investments in powerful particle accelerators and space telescopes, and such recent pursuits as "Dark Matter" and "Dark...

Superconductivity in New Materials: Volume 4
ISBN: 9780444534255 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The discoveries of new superconducting materials, most of them during the last 30 years, have served very much as the context for further developments in theory which continue to the present. In many of these cases, the observations of superconductivity in new materials were completely unexpected and therefore may be regarded as real discoveries. Even the most visible progress, which followed a search using, to some extent, conventional wisdom, was finally rather unexpected - the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in copper oxides.

Space, Time, and Spacetime: Physical and Philosophical Implications of Minkowski's Unification of Space and Time
ISBN: 9783642135378 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1908 Hermann Minkowski gave the four-dimensional(spacetime) formulationof special relativity 1]. In fact, HenriPoincare 2] rst noticedin1906that the Lorentz transformations had a geometric interpretation as rotations in a four-dimensional space with time as the fourth dimension. However it was Minkowski, who succe- fully decoded the profound message about the dimensionality of the world hidden in the relativity postulate, which re ects the experimental fact that natural laws are the same in all inertial reference frames. Unlike Poincare, Minkowski did not regardspacetime the uni cation of...

One aim of the book is to present a lucid exposition of quantum mechanics in terms accessible to the general reader. Another aim is to show that realism (the belief that the outside world exists "from its own side" regardless of acts of consciousness) and locality (the belief that nothing moves faster than...

Lehrbuch Der Mathematischen Physik: Band 2: Klassische Feldtheorie

Die Sprache und die Methoden der modernen Differentialgeometrie sind in der vergangenen Dekade immer mehr in die theoretische Physik eingedrungen. Was vor 15 Jahren, als das Buch zuerst als Vorlesungsskriptum herauskam, noch extravagant erschien, ist heute ein Gemeinplatz. Dies hat mich in der Ansicht gestarkt, dass die Studenten der theoretischen Physik diese Sprache lernen mussen, je eher desto besser. Schliesslich werden sie die Professoren des 21. Jahrhunderts sein und es ware absurd, wurden sie dann die Mathematik des 19. Jahrhunderts lehren. Daher habe ich in der neuen Auflage auf...
