Physics Theory

Stephen W. Hawking's Cambridge lectures, exploring the most complex theories of physics, both past and present, remain the most important scientific theories known of time, space, and the nature of the cosmos. This 30th Anniversary remastered edition of The Cambridge Lectures offers listeners a unique opportunity to hear the full series of seven famed lectures exactly as Professor Hawking presented them during his tenure as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University.

There are a few formatting issues which could not be resolved with reasonable effort, in particluar in teh appendic. Do not expect a pefect layout of formulas (there a re just a few). Physicists are announcing major discoveries with remarkable frequency, suggesting to the public that the billions of dollars spent on enterprises such as the Large Hadron Collider are producing important results. When the Higgs boson was finally announced, the media hailed it as another victory in the quest to crack the code of the universe. Yet, if one takes a clear-eyed look at the state of modern science, ...

Discover the wonder of Quantum Physics and its application in technology, science, and human consciousness even if science has never been your strength. You may wonder why this branch of science is so mysterious and appealing all at once and wish that you could grasp its meaning, significance, and application to your life, well-being, and consciousness.

Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, Frank Close has produced this major revision to his classic and compelling introduction to the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Frank Close takes us on a journey into the atom to examine known particles such as quarks, electrons, and the ghostly neutrino, and explains the key role and significance of the Higgs boson. Along the way he provides fascinating insights into how discoveries in particle physics have actually been made, and discusses how our picture of the world has been radically revised in the light of these developments.

Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the big bang. But few of us understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the solar system, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She then moves out past nearby galaxies - and back in time - to the horizon of the observable universe, which contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each with billions of stars, many orbited by planets, some of which may host life.

The Threads and Luxidoni Universe: A New Theory of Cosmic Growth and Structure Revolutionizing Cosmology with a Universe That Grows, Not Expands—Now with Mathematical Formulas and Comparison Charts For decades, scientists have debated the origins and structure of the universe. The Big Bang Theory, while widely accepted, depends on untested assumptions like singularities, inflation, dark matter, and dark energy. But what if there were a more precise, testable explanation grounded in physical principles rather than speculation? In The Threads and Luxidoni Universe, a groundbreaking ...

If you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up, and you get heavier. Travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be flattened thinner than a CD without feeling a thing - and live forever! As for the angles of a triangle, they do not always have to add up to 180 degrees. And then, of course, there are black holes. These are but a few of the extraordinary consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity.

In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe.

Myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives - and our societies - could be radically different. Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events.

For the past 15 years, acclaimed science writer Margaret Wertheim has been collecting the works of "outsider physicists," many without formal training and all convinced that they have found true alternative theories of the universe. Jim Carter, the Einstein of outsiders, has developed his own complete theory of matter and energy and gravity that he demonstrates with experiments in his backyard - with garbage cans and a disco fog machine he makes smoke rings to test his ideas about atoms.

Aristotle considers ‘the principles and causes of change, or movement’ behind both animate and inanimate things. It is philosophy, not science, but over centuries affected the views of those involved in the ‘natural sciences’. The text emerged from the Lyceum, the school founded by Aristotle, and is accepted to be a compilation of texts, some of which - but perhaps not all - is by Aristotle. Regardless of authorship, its importance is unquestioned.

Breakthrough takes us on a breathtaking, mind-altering tour of the eureka! moments of modern physics. Charting the spellbinding stories of the scientists who predicted and discovered the existence of unknown planets, black holes, invisible force fields, ripples in the fabric of space-time, unsuspected subatomic particles and even antimatter, Marcus Chown reveals science's greatest mystery: its astonishing predictive power.

What if the universe weren't made of particles and dimensions too complex to imagine, but of simple, beautiful threads and luxidoni you could see, feel, and even ride? Be a kid for 15 minutes and start the journey! Join Lux (light) and Vi (life), two curious children who fall asleep under a tree and awaken inside the very fabric of the universe. As they travel through darkness, structure, and wonder, they witness the birth of light, atoms, gravity, stars, and galaxies—and something more profound: how simplicity can explain everything. Inspired by the revolutionary Threads and Luxidoni ...

Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory: Revealing the True Structure and Behavior of Light Beyond Waves and Particles — A New Theory of Light and Energy What If Everything You Knew About Light Was Wrong? Forget photons. Forget the paradox of wave-particle duality. This groundbreaking book reveals a bold new model: light is not a wave or particle but a mechanical process built on real structure. In Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory, inventor and independent theorist Samir Hanna Safar introduces a revolutionary scientific framework in which light emerges from Luxidoni—rotating energy units—...

Quantum physicist Matt Bronik is suffering from strange, violent seizures that medical science seems powerless to explain - much to the consternation of his wife, Brigid. Matt doesn't think these fits could be related to his research, which he has always described as benign and esoteric. That, it turns out, is not quite true: Matt has been prodding the mysteries of the quantum universe, with terrible repercussions for his health. And perhaps even for humanity as a whole.

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that is primarily concerned with the counting numbers. Of particular importance are the prime numbers, the "building blocks" of our number system. The subject is an old one, dating back over two millennia to the ancient Greeks, and for many years has been studied for its intrinsic beauty and elegance, not least because several of its challenges are so easy to state that everyone can understand them, and yet no one has ever been able to resolve them. But number theory has also recently become of great practical importance.

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.

How should we approach life and its challenges? Are they real? What do we really know about reality? Could modern physics help us to understand? What kind of worldview does it really shape for us? What is the connection between reality and consciousness? Do we live in a simulation? In this book Johanna Blomqvist, PhD is diving into the question of reality, a topic which has been of interest to her since childhood. The desire to understand the world, reality and the purpose of everything has also led her to the frontiers of science and to topics physicists do not often approach. Her first ...
