Gravity 6

"Gravity waves" have been accepted by many physicists, from Einstein on down, who see gravity as a change in the massless structure of space and time. However, Earth tides are not massless structure……続きを見る

The search for the “Unified Principles of Physics” which describes all that we see has long been the quest of many scientists and the general public. Newton, Einstein, Hawking and many more have all……続きを見る

Something is deeply wrong with the field of physics and how it informs our understanding of the natural world. Despite years of effort, the theories of Einstein cannot be reconciled with our current……続きを見る

This book is an exposition of the algebra and calculus of differential forms, of the Clifford and Spin-Clifford bundle formalisms, and of vistas to a formulation of important concepts of differentia……続きを見る

The AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful tool in studying strongly coupled phenomena in gauge field theories, using results from a weakly coupled gravity background studied in the realm of string th……続きを見る

Aside from the obvious statement that it should be a theory capable of unifying general relativity and quantum field theory, not much is known about the true nature of quantum gravity. New ideas - a……続きを見る

Consequences of quantum gravity on grander scales are expected to be enormous: only such a theory can show how black holes really behave and where our universe came from. Applications of loop quantu……続きを見る

We read in order to know we are not alone, I once heard, and perhaps it could also be suggested that we write in order not to be alone, to endorse, to promote continuity. The idea for this book took……続きを見る

Quantum gravity has developed into a fast-growing subject in physics and it is expected that probing the high-energy and high-curvature regimes of gravitating systems will shed some light on how to ……続きを見る

Based on the lecture notes of a school titled ‘Tides in Astronomy and Astrophysics’ that brought together students and researchers, this book focuses on the fundamental theories of tides at differen……続きを見る

This book is based on the lecture notes of a one-semester course on black hole astrophysics given by the author and is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in astro……続きを見る

Analogue Gravity Phenomenology is a collection of contributions that cover a vast range of areas in physics, ranging from surface wave propagation in fluids to nonlinear optics. The underlying commo……続きを見る

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 com……続きを見る

Sometimes things are not what they seem to be. We can experience something and attribute it to a long held belief. Without questioning it, we may not begin to fully understand the processes in play.……続きを見る

This book takes a pedagogical approach to explaining quantum gravity, supersymmetry and string theory in a coherent way. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in quantum field theory and ……続きを見る

This concise textbook offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to special relativity, one of the core components of undergraduate physics courses. It follows on naturally from the previous volu……続きを見る

This primer offers a concise introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) - a theoretical framework for uniting Quantum Mechanics (QM) with General Relativity (GR). The emphasis is on the physical asp……続きを見る

Todos nos preguntamos ¿Cómo es nuestro universo? ¿Por qué estamos aquí? ¿Por qué vale la pena vivir? Estas preguntas que nos hacemos, se las hemos traslado a la ciencia y en este libro se trata de e……続きを見る

La física cuántica nos dice que muchas leyes universales que nos explicaron antaño hoy ya no son válidas. En este libro explicamos de forma fácil, sencilla y directa por que somos lo que somos, como……続きを見る
