This thesis is based on the first data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Its theme can be described as the classical Rutherford scattering experiment adapted to the LHC: measurement of s……続きを見る

Reality as we know it is bound by a set of constantsーnumbers and values that dictate the strengths of forces like gravity, the speed of light, and the masses of elementary particles. In The Constan……続きを見る

Look through a flat 2-dimensional hologram like the one on your credit card and a 3rd dimension will appear behind it. This is a result of light-wave interference patterns. This same principle allow……続きを見る

In this strikingly original book, a world-renowned cosmologist and an innovative writer of the history and philosophy of science uncover an astonishing truth: Humans actually are central to the univ……続きを見る

The boundaries of space exploration are being pushed back constantly, but the realm of the partially understood and the totally unknown is as great as ever. Among other things this book deals with a……続きを見る

Research into active galactic nuclei (AGN) – the compact, luminous hearts of many galaxies – is at the forefront of modern astrophysics. Understanding these objects requires extensive knowledge in m……続きを見る

Collins Shorts – insight in an instant. Professor Brian Cox shows us our universe as we've never seen it before. In this short he explains how this vast and complex universe – the subject of human f……続きを見る

Underpinning all the other branches of science, physics affects the way we live our lives, and ultimately how life itself functions. Recent scientific advances have led to dramatic reassessment of o……続きを見る
