Discover the connection between intelligence and light and the theory of everything. Quantum physics and relativity seem contradictory rather than mutually supportive. Why? What is missing? What bridges the chasm of inexplicability and satisfies the demands of both schools of thought? Is there one...

Lasciatevi guidare lungo un percorso curioso e sorprendente, alla scoperta di qualcosa di veramente paradossale e coinvolgente. Il tragitto sarà ricco di interessanti scoperte e vi aiuterà a comprendere molti dei principali fenomeni quantistici, e dei relativi paradossi, che tuttora contribuiscono...

String theory has played a highly influential role in theoretical physics for nearly three decades and has substantially altered our view of the elementary building principles of the Universe. However, the theory remains empirically unconfirmed, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future....

This book discusses the notion that quantum gravity may represent the "breakdown" of spacetime at extremely high energy scales. If spacetime does not exist at the fundamental level, then it has to be considered "emergent", in other words an effective structure, valid at low...

This book offers a systematic exposition of conformal methods and how they can be used to study the global properties of solutions to the equations of Einstein's theory of gravity. It shows that combining these ideas with differential geometry can elucidate the existence and stability of the basic...

In the vein of Randall Munroe's What If? meets Brian Green's Elegant Universe, a senior writer from Space.com leads readers on a wild ride of exploration into the final frontier, investigating what's really "out there." We've all asked ourselves the question. It's impossible to look...

1- Quite recently, the number theoretic interpretation of coupling constant evolution (see    or   in terms of a hierarchy of algebraic extensions of rational numbers inducing those of p-adic number fields encouraged to think that 1/αK has spectrum labelled by primes and values of heff. Two...

In this book, leading theorists present new contributions and reviews addressing longstanding challenges and ongoing progress in spacetime physics. In the anniversary year of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, developed 100 years ago, this collection reflects the subsequent and continuing...

This book covers the following topics: Discovery of Fundamental Particles | Classification of Fundamental Particles | Quarks | Leptons | Antiparticles | Bosons | Interactions | Centre-of-mass Energy | Virtual Photons | Electromagnetic Interactions | Gluons and Colour Charges | W Boson and Weak Processes...

Original text behind Nate's New Physics and latest theory. . A theoretical essay; attempting to explain the reasons behind physical forces, from the origin of the universe to electrical and chemical forces.

Einstein's theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learnt about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealised examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein's equations with a particular...

Zero postulation and the principles of the Theory of Abstraction are used to study structures of energy inside a black hole, which is incredibly heavy and incredibly small. We chase the questions, how matter (with various structures) is formed from energy and the energy making up matter has to be in...

Have you ever looked up at the stars and wondered what you were really seeing? Do you often stop to ponder why we are all here; what we are all made of; where we might be headed? Moreover, have you ever tried to find the answers to these questions, but been overwhelmed by both the complexity and the...

Blending Eastern and Western philosophies with insights into nature, ecology, and physiology, this exploration of the place of humankind within the universe —and our individual stations—is both intellectual and approachable. Thinkers, writers, scientists, and educators of all stripes come together...
