This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist, Dr. Ronald Mallett, who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be……続きを見る

Feynman's Tips on Physics is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics With characteristic flair, insight, and ……続きを見る

In a universe filled by chaos and disorder, one physicist makes the radical argument that the growth of order drives the passage of timeーand shapes the destiny of the universe. Time is among the un……続きを見る

The greatest mystery of all, the enigma of Time, shone like a blinding quasar upon the eyes of the creator of the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein. Indeed there has been no significant thinker,……続きを見る

This book opens with an axiomatic description of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. Euclidean geometry is the starting point to understand all other geometries and it is the cornerstone for our……続きを見る

This book presents a novel mathematical formalism, based on the tetrad formulation of differential geometry, for describing cosmological observables exactly and conveniently. It covers all the stand……続きを見る

Las ideas que, además del tiempo, se tenían sobre la materia y la energía, el espacio y la gravitación, han cambiado radicalmente a partir del cataclismo que, para la física, significó Einstein y su……続きを見る

A concise, non-technical exploration of quantum entanglementーthe enigma Albert Einstein called ‘spooky action at a distance’ーand how it contradicts our assumptions about the ultimate nature of rea……続きを見る

Albert Einstein is often viewed as the icon of genius, and his theories are admired for their beauty and correctness. Yet the final judge of any theory is the rigorous test of experiment, not the fa……続きを見る

The advent of high-precision antihydrogen spectroscopy has opened up the possibility of direct tests with unprecedented accuracy of some of the most fundamental principles of physics, notably Lorent……続きを見る

Dalla scoperta della radioattività alla fisica quantistica, passando per la relatività di Einstein, l’atomo di Bohr e l’utilizzo dei raggi X per lo studio delle proprietà dei solidi. Queste sono sol……続きを見る

Sicherlich haben Sie die Geschichte gehört, wie der Astronaut auf die Erde zurückkehrte und so jung und fit aussah wie bei seiner Abreise. Alle anderen auf der Erde konnten aufgrund der Jahre, die a……続きを見る

This book reviews various modified gravity models, including those with modifications in the pure gravitational sector; those involving extra fields, that is, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor gravity……続きを見る

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interest……続きを見る

The theory which is sketched in the following pages forms the most wide-going generalization conceivable of what is at present known as "the theory of Relativity;" this latter theory I differentiate……続きを見る

This volume is a compilation of carefully selected questions at the PhD qualifying exam level, including many actual questions from Columbia University, University of Chicago, MIT, State University ……続きを見る

Energy is typically regarded as understandable, despite its multiple forms of storage and transfer. Entropy, however, is an enigma, in part because of the common view that it represents disorder. Th……続きを見る

Breve esposizione del noto paradosso EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) e delle disuguaglianze di Bell, che hanno avuto, e hanno ancora oggi, un peso influente sulla meccanica quantistica e sulla teoria ……続きを見る

Dopo aver introdotto la metrica nello spazio Euclideo classico si passa al concetto di quadrivettore nello spazio-tempo di Minkowski, affrontando argomenti di relatività ristretta, come le trasforma……続きを見る
