The Changing Conceptions of the Universe - From Newton to Einstein -
Author: Benjamin Harrow
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
Einstein's contributions to our ideas of time and space and to our knowledge of the universe in general, are of so momentous a nature, that they easily take their place among the two or three greatest achievements of the twentieth century. This book attempts to give, in popular form, an account of this work. As, however, Einstein's work is so largely dependent upon the work of Newton and Newton's successors, the first two chapters are devoted to the latter.

Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible
Author: Anthony Zee
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691239274
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
An exceptionally accessible introduction to quantum field theory Quantum field theory is by far the most spectacularly successful theory in physics, but also one of the most mystifying. Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible provides an essential primer on the subject, giving readers the conceptual foundations they need to wrap their heads around one of the most important yet baffling subjects in physics. Quantum field theory grew out of quantum mechanics in the late 1930s and was developed by a generation of brilliant young theorists, including Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman. Their predictions were experimentally verified to an astounding accuracy unmatched by the rest of physics. Quantum field theory unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, thus providing the framework for understanding the quantum mysteries of the subatomic world. With his trademark blend of wit and physical insight, A. Zee guides readers from the classical notion of the field to the modern frontiers of quantum field theory, covering a host of topics along the way, including antimatter, Feynman diagrams, virtual particles, the path integral, quantum chromodynamics, electroweak unification, grand unification, and quantum gravity. A unique and valuable introduction for students and general readers alike, Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible explains how quantum field theory informs our understanding of the universe, and how it can shed light on some of the deepest mysteries of physics.

Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality
Author: Manjit Kumar
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393080099
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
"A lucid account of quantum theory (and why you should care) combined with a gripping narrative." —San Francisco Chronicle Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren’t shocked by quantum theory, you didn’t really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution, focusing on the central conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. This revelatory book takes a close look at the golden age of physics, the brilliant young minds at its core—and how an idea ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century.

The Code of Creation with Guru Nanak and Albert Einstein
Author: Amar Kapoor M.D.
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796084670
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
For centuries, humanity is trying to understand the creation of the universe, the operation of the universe and the essence of Truth. Before Big Bang, there was perhaps a Singularity event creating the Milky Way. The total movement of the Earth or cosmology is through the intricate order of the Universe called Hukum. The two Supramental Visionaries, namely Nanak and Einstein have discovered the code of the Unified field and the Code of Creation. Decoding Guru Nanak’s encrypted logo, Ek Om Kar, and Albert Einstein’s E=mc2 give us the mystical unity consciousness and scientific thought experiments. This book presents the portal of Truth with the signature of the Code of Creation. This gift to humanity is the master key that unlocks the Treasury of Existence, the realms of Transcendence and Radical Possibilities. You can participate in the domain of the human enterprise by entertaining the Platform of One, connecting with the Unified field of one and the signature Code of Creation.
