CK - Gravity 1

Quantum theory and quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-bod……続きを見る

**In A Brief History of Black Holes, award-winning University of Oxford researcher Dr Becky Smethurst charts five hundred years of scientific breakthroughs in astronomy and astrophysics. 'A jaunt th……続きを見る

This monograph aims to provide a unified, geometrical foundation of gauge theories of elementary particle physics. The underlying geometrical structure is unfolded in a coordinate-free manner via th……続きを見る

This book starts with the mathematical basis of the theory - i.e. provide a brief sketch of the theory of manifolds and frame bundles, tensors and their transformations, relativistic kinematics, and……続きを見る

John Brockman brings together the world's best-known physicists and science writersーincluding Brian Greene, Walter Isaacson, Nobel Prize-winner Frank Wilczek, Benoit Mandelbrot, and Martin Reesーto……続きを見る

A thought provoking read for those with an interest in what causes gravity and matter's close relationship with dark energy. The book is written for the layman. There are no mathematics but some pri……続きを見る

The subject of the book is a biography of the theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951). Although Sommerfeld is famous as a quantum theorist for the elaboration of the semi-classical atomi……続きを見る

Until The End of Time, a whole new theory was written by Rodney Kawecki built on the bases that if the universe was created through the process of a big bang event that un-like some physicists who b……続きを見る

This richly illustrated book is unique in bringing Einstein's relativity to a higher level for the non-specialist than has ever been attempted before, using nothing more than grade-school algebra. B……続きを見る

The book describes Maxwell's equations first in their integral, directly testable form, then moves on to their local formulation. The first two chapters cover all essential properties of Maxwell's e……続きを見る

During its forty year lifespan, string theory has always had the power to divide, being called both a 'theory of everything' and a 'theory of nothing'. Critics have even questioned whether it qualif……続きを見る

What is spectral action, how to compute it and what are the known examples? This book offers a guided tour through the mathematical habitat of noncommutative geometry à la Connes, deliberately unvei……続きを見る

An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational waves In 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational wavesーripples in the fabric of spacetim……続きを見る

This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bo……続きを見る

Scheck’s successful textbook presents a comprehensive treatment, ideally suited for a one-semester course. The textbook describes Maxwell's equations first in their integral, directly testable form,……続きを見る

Welcome to the future. Here is a story that started with the time of Noah; and is what could not be discerned except by archeologist uncovering the ancient story. It is not told as such; because the……続きを見る

We lift a veil of obscurity from a branch of mathematical physics in a straightforward manner that can be understood by motivated and prepared undergraduate students as well as graduate students spe……続きを見る
