Mass and Motion in General Relativity
ISBN: 9789048130146 / Angielski / Twarda / 626 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the infinitesimal scale of particle physics to the cosmic scale of the universe, research is concerned with the nature of mass. While there have been spectacular advances in physics during the past century, mass still remains a mysterious entity at the forefront of current research. Our current perspective on gravitation has arisen over millennia, through the contemplation of falling apples, lift thought experiments and notions of stars spiraling into black holes. In this volume, the world's leading scientists offer a multifaceted approach to mass by giving a concise and introductory...

Concepts of Mass in Contemporary Physics and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780691144320 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of mass is one of the most fundamental notions in physics, comparable in importance only to those of space and time. But in contrast to the latter, which are the subject of innumerable physical and philosophical studies, the concept of mass has been but rarely investigated. Here Max Jammer, a leading philosopher and historian of physics, provides a concise but comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained study of the concept of mass as it is defined, interpreted, and applied in contemporary physics and as it is critically examined in the modern philosophy of science. With its... The concept of mass is one of the most fundamental notions in physics, comparable in importance only to those of space and time. But in contrast to... |

ISBN: 9789048134748 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is dedicated to the one hundredth anniversary of the publication of Hermann Minkowski s paper Raum und Zeit in 1909 1]. The paper presents the textofthetalkMinkowskigaveatthe80thMeetingoftheGermanNaturalScientists and Physicians in Cologne on September 21, 1908. Minkowski s work on the spacetime representation of special relativity had a huge impact on the twentieth century physics, which can be best expressed by merely stating what is undeniable that modern physics would be impossible wi- out the notion of spacetime. It is suf cient to mention as an example only the fact that...

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%...

Why Does E=mc2?: (And Why Should We Care?)
ISBN: 9780306818769 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-first century science to unpack Einstein's famous equation. Explaining and simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light--while exploding commonly held misconceptions--they demonstrate how the structure of nature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, we visit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator capable of re-creating conditions that existed fractions of a...

Scale Relativity and Fractal Space-Time: A New Approach to Unifying Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
ISBN: 9781848166509 / Angielski / Twarda / 764 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the development of the theory of scale relativity and fractal space-time. It suggests an original solution to the disunified nature of the classical-quantum transition in physical systems, enabling the basis of quantum mechanics on the principle of relativity, provided this principle is extended to scale transformations of the reference system. In the framework of such a newly generalized relativity theory (including position, orientation, motion and now scale transformations), the fundamental laws of physics may be given a general form that...

Flat and Curved Space-Times
ISBN: 9780198506577 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present book explains special relativity and the basics of general relativity from a geometric viewpoint. Space-time geometry is emphasized throughout, and provides the basis of understanding of the special relativity effects of time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Bondi's K-calculus is introduced as a simple means of calculating the magnitudes of these effects, and leads to a derivation of the Lorentz transformation as a way of unifying these results. The invariant interval of flat space-time is generalised to that of curved space-times, and leads to an...

Modern Mathematical Models of Time and Their Applications to Physics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9780792346630 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nature of time has long puzzled physicists and philosophers. Time potentially has very fundamental yet unknown properties. In 1993 a new model of multi-dimensional time was found to relate closely to properties of the cosmological redshift. An international conference was subsequently convened in April 1996 to examine past, current and new concepts of time as they relate to physics and cosmology.

The author reviews "Physical Geometry," a unified theory which proposes a solution to existing difficulties in Physics in line with Einstein's ideas. The fundamental problems in Physics are the following: 1-The Standard Model of Particle Physics, based on the electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear interactions, appears incomplete and requires a complicated structure in terms of a very large number of empirical parameters. 2-Superstring Theory represents particles by strings or n-surfaces in spaces with high number of dimensions and has not produced verifiable experimental results. These...
