"In the second book of this already internationally acclaimed series, Sean Carroll, the most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts, digs deep into matter itself. What is the universe made of? In his quest to redefine the "popular" treatment of the biggest ideas in the universe, Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to physics and math as reviewer after reviewer has attested. Adventuring in the math of fields, he now intrepidly...

Dieses essential beschreibt die Grenzen der Physik. Davon gibt es zwei verschiedene Arten: solche, die durch die Grundgesetze der Physik gegeben sind und solche, die unseren technischen Möglichkeiten entsprechen. Jenseits davon beginnt der Bereich des Science Fiction. Wir betrachten zunächst die beiden Standardmodelle, das der Elementarteilchenphysik und das der Kosmologie. Dann werden die Grundgesetze der Physik besprochen und die Bereiche abgesteckt,...

This book is about the fundamental physics (nature).
Between the lines, it is argued that the progress in physics has been limited by the current paradigm of physics. It appears that that paradigm has been strongly influenced by religion. In this regard, the authors of the bible wrote: "And God said, let us make man in our image..." (Genesis, 1:26). It seems that those authors got it upside down. It was actually them who made God in man's image,...

Wie kann man das Interesse von Jugendlichen (und neugierige Ältere) an aktuellen Ergebnisse der Naturwissenschaften wecken?
Hier nimmt ein alter Alchemist seine Enkeltöchter auf eine Reise mit durch die Welt der hohen Drücke und zeigt ihnen dabei zunächst an verschiedenen bunte Landkarten, was diese Welt zu bieten hat. Ausgehend vom Weltbild der alten Griechen und der mittelalterlichen Alchemisten zeigt er zunächst, wie sich einige Grundvorstellungen...

In physics there is a quest to find the mythical Grand Unified Theory. It was begun by Einstein and it is a belief that there exists a singular ultimate theory of Nature and physics. It has not been found. Its search consumes today's physics. It has seen radical ideas, novelties, research paths, experiments, and more to find it. It consumes legions of physicists worldwide. Here in this book, we will review discussion on this amazing mystery,...

"Wald's book is clearly the first textbook on general relativity with a totally modern point of view; and it succeeds very well where others are only partially successful. The book includes full discussions of many problems of current interest which are not treated in any extant book, and all these matters are considered with perception and understanding."-S. Chandrasekhar
"A tour de force: lucid, straightforward, mathematically rigorous, exacting...

Obwohl Albert Einstein die spezielle Relativitätstheorie vor mehr als hundert Jahren verfasst hat, ist ihre Vermittlung bis heute eine Herausforderung geblieben. Die dabei auftretenden Schwierigkeiten sind nicht mathematischer Art, sie sind vielmehr darin begründet, dass vertraute Vorstellungen über Raum und Zeit aufzugeben sind. So etwa gilt es zu akzeptieren, dass die zeitliche Reihenfolge von Ereignissen nicht absolut, sondern gemäss Einstein...

"What a splendid book! Reading it is a joy, and for me, at least, continuing reading it became compulsive. . . . Chandrasekhar is a distinguished astrophysicist and every one of the lectures bears the hallmark of all his work: precision, thoroughness, lucidity."-Sir Hermann Bondi, Nature
The late S. Chandrasekhar was best known for his discovery of the upper
limit to the mass of a white dwarf star, for which he received the Nobel
Prize in Physics...

Description
This book provides an introspection into overlooked aspects of physical science: overrated standards, an Aristotelian perspective, and underappreciated paradigms. Combining two works, it explores physical science - describing the world scientifically and consistently - through two themes.
First, it shows that while an experimental hypothesis approach succeeds due to the availability of the physical world, other strategies exist. The author proposes...

English
Description
Practically all of modern physics deals with fields-functions of space (or spacetime) that give the value of a certain quantity, such as the temperature, in terms of its location within a prescribed volume. Electrodynamics is a comprehensive study of the field produced by (and interacting with) charged particles, which in practice means almost all matter.
Fulvio Melia's Electrodynamics offers a concise, compact, yet complete treatment of this important...

Description
The answer to the biggest mysteries in physics can be found in the simple notion that, contrary to conventional theory, all things, including space itself, are composed of electromagnetic waves. Together, the waves form a substance or field separate from the immutable spatial dimensions in which that substance sits and deforms. Being the same substance, where matter is denser, space is denser also, resulting in the "warping of the fabric of spacetime"...
