De laatste paar jaar zijn er fantastische theorieën opgedoken in verband met de piramides en de Egyptische beschaving. Verklaringen worden onder meer gezocht in het buitengewone, zeg maar het buitenaardse. Astrologie en ufologie vieren hoogtij.…

The unique features of the quantum world are explained in this book through the language of diagrams, setting out an innovative visual method for presenting complex theories. Requiring only basic mathematical literacy, this book employs a unique…

John D. Barrow's Pi in the Sky is a profound -- and profoundly different -- exploration of the world of mathematics: where it comes from, what it is, and where it's going to take us if we follow it to the limit in our search for the ultimate meaning…

This book is based on the authors' long standing experience in teaching astronomy courses. It presents in a modern and complete way our present picture of the physics of the Milky Way system. The first part of the book deals with topics of more…

Plasmas are charged particle gases found throughout the solar system in environments such as the solar atmosphere, the solar wind and the planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres. Physics of Solar System Plasmas provides a comprehensive introduction…

An incisive, richly illustrated history of the evolution of physics over the course of the twentieth century follows the accomplishments of such innovative scientists as Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Bethe, and Feynmann and assesses their…

This is a textbook that derives the fundamental theories of physics from symmetry. It starts by introducing, in a completely self-contained way, all mathematical tools needed to use symmetry ideas in physics. Thereafter, these tools are put into…

This book defines and develops a unifying principle of physics, that of 'extreme physical information'. The information in question is, perhaps surprisingly, not Shannon or Boltzmann entropy but, rather, Fisher information, a simple concept little…
