Will the universe continue to expand forever, reverse its expansion and begin to contract, or reach a delicately poised state where it simply persists forever? The answer depends on the amount and properties of matter in the universe, and that has…

Levy is a young astronomer's Michael Jordan: he discovers comets where professional astronomers have looked before and found nothing. His 20-odd discoveries are sufficient authority to support this general survey of current theory and comet history.…

Quarks, Leptons and The Big Bang is a clear, readable and self-contained introduction to particle physics and related areas of cosmology. It bridges the gap between non-technical popular accounts and textbooks for advanced students. The book…

This book is now rather aged, but this is, in its own way, an advantage. 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…

.   De quantumtheorie confronteert ons met bizarre paradoxen die de logische opbouw van de klassieke natuurkunde verstoren. Op het niveau van de subatomen schijnt het ene deeltje precies te weten wat de andere doen, overeenkomstig de eigenschap…

There are many excellent books on quantum theory from which one can learn to compute energy levels, transition rates, cross sections, etc. The theoretical rules given in these books are routinely used by physicists to compute observable quantities.…

If you are interested in the future prospects of the human race it is good to start with at least a modest understanding of the cosmic basics on which life is built and to that end Marcus Chown's book is a good place to start. It is Quantum Theory…

This volume describes a new technology based on harnessing the irreducible uncertainty of the quantum world. Quantum technology manipulates nature at the most elementary level. The first chapter gives the essential principles of quantum mechanical…

This clearly explained layman's introduction to quantum physics is an accessible excursion into metaphysics and the meaning of reality. Herbert exposes the quantum world and the scientific and philosophical controversy about its interpretation.

Quantum physics is believed to be the fundamental theory underlying our understanding of the physical universe. However, it is based on concepts and principles that have always been difficult to understand and controversial in their interpretation.…
