More often than not, essay collections suffer from a lack of cohesiveness, but this book is a rarity: with little repetition, plenty of wit, and a well-planned narrative arrangement, this fascinating introduction to astrophysics travels smoothly from the evolution of intelligent life and the causes of ice ages to black holes and the inflationary universe.

From the thousand-year search for proof of the existence of the ever-elusive atom to the varied and heated arguments behind the big bang theory, INSTANT PHYSICS answers all the heavy questions with a light touch. You'll learn: * How the Greek philosophers used the sledgehammer of mathematics to break apart the mysteries of the physical universe. * Why gravity is a "romantic" force. * How to tell the difference between a gluon, a meson, and a quark, even if you can't see them. INSTANT PHYSICS is crammed with special features, including chapter summaries, who's who lists, biographical and historical tidbits, and a host of illustrations, photos, equations, diagrams, and drawings.

L'autre est un physicien et un chercheur mondialement connu. Une même interrogation les porte. Comment penser le monde après un siècle de bouleversements scientifiques ? Jean- Claude Carrière et Thibault Damour nous entraînent ici dans un dialogue lumineux, qui met l'esprit au défi de lui- même et où la clarté rivalise avec le gai savoir. La matière éternelle, l'espace et le temps absolus, l 'unique réalité : en ce début de troisième millénaire, toutes ces grandes notions du passé n'ont plus qu'une valeur d'illusions. Il n'y a plus d'histoire prédéterminée, inexorable, livrée à des forces mécaniques. L'univers se révèle léger, instable, multiple dans la superposition d'une infinité d'histoires possibles dont nous ne percevons qu'un mince faisceau. C'est à la découverte de cette multitude du monde, laissant loin derrière les récits de science-fiction, que nous invitent Jean-Claude Carrière et Thibault Damour. Un voyage plein de stupeur, de vertiges et de merveilles. Scénariste, dramaturge, écrivain, Jean-Claude Carrière est l'auteur de grands succès comme Einstein, s'il vous plaît , Fragilité , Tous en scène et L'Argent . Thibault Damour est professeur à l'Institut des hautes études scientifiques et membre de l'Académie des sciences.

Professor Fritzsch, with Murray Gell-Mann, formulated the first QCD theories describing the colour interaction active between quarks. In this book, Fritzsch lays out the inner working of QCD from a theorist's perspective. He starts from the most basic premise at the heart of particle physics -- symmetry principles, and shows step-by-step how these necessarily imply the quark structure of the proton and neutron. He then goes on to show how their theoretical findings square with experimental results. In this book you will learn the basics of particle spin, vacuum polarization, quark confinement (asymptotic freedom and infrared slavery). Most interestingly, he elucidates how the pioneer quark physicists used their understanding of quantum electrodynamics -- the physics of electrons and positrons mainly -- in a comparative way to build up our understanding of the nucleon's innards. In much the same way, he shows how comparative differences between the mesons and baryons can yield insight into the nature of quarks.

Quoting from mathematicians such as Poincare and Euclid and physicists such as Newton and Feynman, the links between the two disciplines are explored in the author's entertaining style, providing a fascinating account of the twists and turns in scientific progress through the ages. Challenging, stimulating, and questioning, the book explains how the uncanny ability of formal and abstract mathematics can interpret the properties of the physical world. Using a wide ranging set of examples, it illustrates the manner in which mathematics has been applied to physics and even points to directions for future research. Requiring some prior knowledge of physics and mathematics, this well-illustrated book will be of interest to all readers with an interest in physics and mathematics, in learning more about the role of mathematics as the formal language of physics, and in how physics and mathematics have influenced scientific research.

On the contrary, it seems to indicate that certain superluminal or FTL effects would permit us to re-experience the past: time travel would become a reality, not science fiction. Through this crack in the cosmic egg steps Herbert, a Stanford physicist and author of Quantum Reality, who summarizes clearly current speculation and theory about faster-than-light travel. Along with space warps, black holes and tachyons (hypothetical FTL particles), he looks at the so-called 'quantum connection'—an alleged force said to instantaneously link any two subatomic particles long after they have bumped into each other. Free of the wool-gathering that tints much writing on the 'new physics', this brave, exciting book should send scientists back to their drawing boards; for the non-specialist reader, it reveals a world much stranger than Star Trek Language A language of the resource Engels https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/df18ebec009a5438f0ff4588ddad8106.png 9c73a9403dfbc69adabfd97b7545e677 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Squires Title A name given to the resource The mystery of the quantum world Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available CRC Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1994 Description An account of the resource Quantum mechanics stands as one of the most remarkable achievements of the 20th century, providing startling insight into the nature of matter and a spectacularly successful predictive theory. However, while the predictive ability of the quantum theory has been rigorously tested time and again, so that it now satisfies any criterion of reliability as a tool of scientific inquiry, fundamental difficulties remain with its interpretation. The Mystery of the Quantum World introduces the philosophical issues raised by the success of the quantum theory and lucidly outlines the different points of view adopted by various physicists striving to understand the meaning underlying the theories used every day. The author encourages you to see how the most successful of physical theories is relevant to issues outside physics. The authoritative selection of topics ensures that readers already familiar with the subject of the book will extend their knowledge of quantum theory, and those with no previous knowledge acquire an insight into this fascinating world.

The book presents the fundamental ideas and particles of the makeup of the universe to enable understanding of matter and why it behaves in the way it does. Written in an engaging manner, the book explains some of the intricate details and grand schemes of life and the universe, by making analogies with common everyday examples. For example, the recipe for a cake tells us nothing of how good the cake tastes, but is a model of the food, and a scientific model is no closer to the reality of the materials than a recipe is to the mouth-watering flavour of the cake. Illustrated with helpful cartoons, this book provides a vast knowledge of atoms and atmospheres. The first several chapters introduce terms and fundamental ideas while later chapters deal successively with particles and systems, from the electron to the universe as a system. Each new idea introduced builds upon the last. A user-friendly bibliography provides references for further reading. Language A language of the resource Engels
