The Comparative Reception of Relativity
ISBN: 9789401082235 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present volume grew out of a double session of the Boston Collo- quium for the Philosophy of Science held in Boston on March 25, 1983. The papers presented there (by Biezunski, Glick, Goldberg, and Judith Goodstein ) offered both sufficient comparability to establish regulari- ties in the reception of relativity and Einstein's impact in France, Spain, the United States and Italy, and sufficient contrast to suggest the salience of national inflections in the process. The interaction among the participants and the added perspectives offered by members of the audience suggested the interest...

Cosmology and Gravitation: Spin, Torsion, Rotation, and Supergravity
ISBN: 9781461331254 / Angielski / Miękka / 519 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the Sixth Course of the International School of Cosmology and Gravitation of the "Ettore Maj orana" Centre for Scientific Cul- ture we choose as the principal topics torsion and supergravity, because in our opinion it is one of the principal tasks of today's theoretical physics to attempt to link together the theory of ele- mentary particles and general relativity. Our aim was to delineate the present status of the principal efforts directed toward this end, and to explore possible directions of work in the near future. Efforts to incorporate spin as a dynamic variable into the...

Clusters and Superclusters of Galaxies
ISBN: 9789401050951 / Angielski / Miękka / 369 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Clusters and superclusters of galaxies are the largest objects in the Universe. They have been the subject of intense observational studies at a variety of wavelengths, from radio to X-ray which has provoked much theoretical debate and advanced our understanding of the recent evolution of the large-scale structure of the Universe. The current status of the subject is reviewed in this volume by active researchers who lectured at a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Cambridge, England in July 1991.
Much of the material is presented in a pedagogical manner and will appeal to scientists,... Clusters and superclusters of galaxies are the largest objects in the Universe. They have been the subject of intense observational studies at a varie...

Statistical Geometry and Applications to Microphysics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9789401062015 / Angielski / Miękka / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent results from high-energy scattering and theoretical developments of string theory require a change in our understanding of the basic structure of space-time. This book is about the advancement of ideas on the stochastic nature of space-time from the 1930s onward. In particular, the author promotes the concept of space as a set of hazy lumps, first introduced by Karl Menger, and constructs a novel framework for statistical behaviour at the microlevel. The various chapters address topics such as space-time fluctuation and random potential, non-local fields, and the origin of...

Observational Cosmology: With the New Radio Surveys Proceedings of a Workshop held in a Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, 13–15 January 1997
ISBN: 9789401062053 / Angielski / Miękka / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Radio surveys play an important role in observational cosmology. However, until recently the surveys have been either of wide area but with low sensitivity or of small area with high sensitivity. Both limit the kinds of cosmology that can be carried out with radio surveys.
This situation has been revolutionised in the past few years by the availability of new, large-area, high-sensitivity radio surveys at both low and high radio frequencies. These significant improvements allow studies based on both the statistics of the surveys themselves and multiwavelength follow-up of the galaxies...

Galaxy Evolution in Groups and Clusters: A Jenam 2002 Workshop Porto, Portugal 3-5 September 2002
ISBN: 9789401039758 / Angielski / Miękka / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Galaxy groups and clusters provide excellent laboratories for studying galaxy properties in different environments and at different look-back times. In particular, the recent detections of high-redshift cluster candidates, only possible with the current high-technology instrumentation, add a new dimension to the problem. Along with the ever increasing computing power and sophisticated algorithms to model clusters of galaxies, it may help us to understand the origins of today's groups and clusters, as well as of their member galaxies. These workshop proceedings provide a snapshot of the...

Relativistic Mechanics, Time and Inertia
ISBN: 9789400964082 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To accept the special theory of relativity has, it is universally agreed, consequences for our philosophical views about space and time. Indeed some have found these consequences so distasteful that they have refused to accept special relativity, despite its many satis factory empirical results, and so they have been forced to try to account for these results in alternative ways. But it is surprising that there is much less agreement about exactly what the philosophical conse quences are, especially when looked at in detail. Partly this arises because the results of the theory are derived in...

General Relativity: The Most Beautiful of Theories: Applications and Trends After 100 Years
ISBN: 9783110340426 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Generalising Newton's law of gravitation, general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics. While applications in the beginning were restricted to isolated effects such as a proper understanding of Mercury's orbit, the second half of the twentieth century saw a massive development of applications. These include cosmology, gravitational waves, and even very practical results for satellite based positioning systems as well as different approaches to unite general relativity with another very successful branch of physics - quantum theory. On the occassion of general... Generalising Newton's law of gravitation, general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics. While applications in the beginning were rest... |

ISBN: 9780989382625 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While layman may enjoy many parts of this book there are mathematical parts that may be challenging. This book describes a theory of the multiverse - an infinite expanse of space in which island universes are scattered including our universe. It develops the concept of universe particles and their interactions that lead to colliding universes, the creation of universe - anti universe pairs, and other dynamical phenomena: Tachyonic universes, left and right handed universes and so on. By making the multiverse a complex 16-dimensional space the author is able to show many newly found...

Canonical Gravity: From Classical to Quantum: Proceedings of the 117th We Heraeus Seminar Held at Bad Honnef, Germany, 13-17 September 1993
ISBN: 9783662139547 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The search for a quantum gravity theory, a theory expected to combine the principles of general relativity and quantum theory, has led to some of the most deepest and most difficult conceptual and mathematical questions of modern physics. The present book, addressing these issues in the framework of recent versions of canonical quantization, is the first to present coherently the background for their understanding. Starting with an analysis of the structure of constrained systems and the problems of their quantization, it discusses the canonical formulation of classical relativity from...
