This book presents an in-depth review of the recent interdisciplinary studies that have shed light on the mechanisms of the creation, energy transfer, and measurement of the dressed photon.
Die Elektrodynamik wird meistens in der historisch orientierten Reihenfolge behandelt, in der das elektrische und magnetische Feld zunächst als separate Objekte eingeführt und schließlich über die Maxwell-Gleichungen miteinander verknüpft werden.
This book offers a compelling and philosophical exploration of the physical origins of inflation in the universe, grounded in the dimensional analysis of quantum mechanics and general relativity models.
This book presents Special Relativity in a language accessible to students while avoiding the burdens of geometry, tensor calculus, space-time symmetries, and the introduction of four vectors.
The present book has a single purpose: to provide a clear introduction to general relativity, suitable for graduate students or advanced undergraduates.
This book presents Einstein's theory of space and time in detail, and describes the large-scale structure of space, time and velocity as a new cosmological special relativity.
While quantum theory has been used to study the physical universe with great profit, both intellectual and financial, ever since its discovery eighty-five years ago, over the last fifty years we have found out more and more about the theory itself, and what it tells us about the universe.
Introducing the theoretical ideas, observational methods and results in dark energy, this textbook is a thorough introduction to dark energy for graduate courses.
Particle or Wave is the first popular-level book to explain the origins and development of modern physical concepts about matter and the controversies surrounding them.
The complete guide to everything you ever wanted to know about EinsteinThis is the single most complete guide to Albert Einstein's life and work for students, researchers, and browsers alike.
Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics.
In 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to join the Institute for Advanced Study, Albert Einstein visited Princeton University, where he delivered the Stafford Little Lectures for that year.
Starting off from noneuclidean geometries, apart from the method of Einstein's equations, this book derives and describes the phenomena of gravitation and diffraction.
This book is an English translation from a Hungarian book designed for graduate and postgraduate students about the use of variational principles in theoretical physics.
The natural generalization of the quantum-mechanical N-particle wave function to relativistic space-time is a function of N space-time points, and thus of N time variables.
Siguiendo el enfoque clásico de Lev Landau y Evgenii Lifshitz, este libro introduce la teoría de la relatividad especial y general desde el formalismo lagrangiano y el principio de mínima acción.
Ongoing studies in mathematical depth, and inferences from `helioseismological' observations of the internal solar rotation have shown up the limitations in our knowledge of the solar interior and of our understanding of the solar dynamo, manifested in particular by the sunspot cycle, the Maunder minimum, and solar flares.
Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions.
A world-renowned physicist seeks gravity's true nature and finds wisdom in embracing its force in her lifeClaudia de Rham has been playing with gravity her entire life.
