This book continues our exploration of the most profound theory of science, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. We examine more carefully the properties of spacetime, the unity of space and time. We explore the major features of curvature, how to measure it, and how to reduce...

All of modern astrophysics and cosmology stands on the foundation of General Relativity that is best expressed in tensors. This book, and its sequel, General Relativity 4: Astrophysics & Cosmology, present the clearest, most comprehensible, and most complete introduction to the tensor...

Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the two major pillars of 20th century physics, which together revolutionized our understanding of nature, utterly dismantling Newtonian physics that had been the gold standard of science for over 200 years, and introducing radically new concepts that defy human...

All of modern astrophysics and cosmology stands on the foundation of General Relativity that is best expressed in tensors. This book, and its prequel General Relativity 3, present the clearest, most comprehensible, and most complete introduction to the tensor calculus of differential topology,...

This book continues our exploration of stars. Here we discuss the spectacular ways in which stars die, creating supernovae that are some of the most violent events in our universe. We also explore the exotic remnants of these explosions: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and particularly, black holes....

This book concludes our exploration of Quantum Mechanics in the Everyone’s Guide Series. Here, we discuss the outstanding mysteries of Quantum Mechanics and the meaning of Reality. Our topics include: EPR paradox Parallel Universes / Many Worlds Bohm’s pilot waves Bell’s Inequality...

This is the second book in the Everyone’s Guide Series devoted to Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. Readers will benefit from a prior reading of Special Relativity 1: Light, Time, & What’s Relative. Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the two major pillars of 20th century...

What’s out there in the vast beyond? Where did we come from? How long has it been there? How long will it last? These are profound questions that humanity has asked for thousands of years, probably ever since we became human. Possibly the need to know what lies beyond is an essential part...

This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole. One of the most profound questions in cosmology is: Has our universe existed forever, or did it have a beginning? Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have argued both sides of this debate, for...

In this book we explore the world of atoms: what atoms are, what they are made of, and why atoms are timeless, never aging or wearing down. Almost all atoms will exist until the end of time. We’ll discover why a few rare atoms are radioactive, decaying in predictable ways, and why these...

This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole. Here we examine four critical and somewhat mysterious phenomena that have shaped our universe and the science of cosmology: Inflation, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, Dark Matter, and...

In this book we explore great cosmic mysteries still beyond the reach of established science:         What came before our universe?         How was our universe created?         Is our...

This book tells the story of our universe and how humanity fits into the grand cosmic scheme. Einstein said: "The most incomprehensible thing about our universe is that it is comprehensible." We humans claim to understand what lies beyond the most distant stars, what happened billions...

This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole. Here we examine one of the greatest challenges and most important accomplishment of astronomy and cosmology: measuring the distance to remote celestial bodies. We will discover how astronomers used their...
