In the grand tradition of the previous volume of this devastating
series, further arguments against the validity of special
relativity are presented, this time by demolishing the experimental
"evidence" of the long-lived muons. Also, an experimental method to
disprove the relativity of simultaneity is presented. Unlike the
previous volume, this one also brings death and mayhem to general
relativity by dragging the famous twins out of the special theory
and into the general where they belong, and slaying them there. It
also tackles spacetime curvature, and receives a visit from
Einstein himself, via a paper from 1918, in which the noted
physicist attempts to rebut some of the arguments made in the
present volume.
The meaning of life and light are not simple to explain. The
universe cannot exist without either of these critical dimensional
components. Light is not the reflection of electro-magnetic waves
we have been taught in school and existence without life is
meaningless. After you read this book, things will become clearer
to you.
A nut and its shell, like any X and Y, are joined and separated by
a circle. The line is always diameter and circumference of a
circle. Thus, pi controls reality, 50-50.
The notion that fundamental equations governing the motions of
physical systems are invariant under the time reversal
transformation (T) has been an important, but often subliminal,
element in the development of theoretical physics. It serves as a
powerful and useful tool in analyzing the structure of matter at
all scales, from gases and condensed matter to subnuclear physics
and the quantum theory of fields. The assumption of invariance
under T was called into question, however, by the 1964 discovery
that a closely related assumption, that of CP invariance (where C
is charge conjugation and P is space inversion), is violated in the
decay of neutral K mesons.
In The Physics of Time Reversal, Robert G. Sachs comprehensively
treats the role of the transformation T, both as a tool for
analyzing the structure of matter and as a field of fundamental
research relating to CP violation. For this purpose he reformulates
the definitions of T, P, and C so as to avoid subliminal
assumptions of invariance. He summarizes the standard phenomenology
of CP violation in the K-meson system and addresses the question of
the mysterious origin of CP violation. Using simple examples based
on the standard quark model, Sachs summarizes and illustrates how
these phenomenological methods can be extended to analysis of
future experiments on heavy mesons. He notes that his reformulated
approach to conventional quantum field theory leads to new
questions about the meaning of the transformations in the context
of recent theoretical developments such as non-Abelian gauge
theories, and he suggests ways in which these questions may lead to
new directions of research.
Gravity Explained describes this universal mechanism and finally
closes the door of this eternal mystery. It is based upon the
rearrangement of our basic dimensions which invalidates temporal
time. This new theory claims and reinforces the 4 dimensions are 4
spatial dimensions and nothing to do with temporal time which only
causes ongoing confusion for the last 100 years. The primary
dimension is no.1 the first and most important as it provides a
physical means to understand and unlock many other outstanding
confusion regards the unification of the 4 forces of nature. The
mechanism of Gravity is simply explained by resolving these
dimensions and the Primary one has a construct of constant time
which is constantly emerging and populating itself with points of
zero time to form Newton's Absolute Space. Although instinctively
he knew that the Absolute should exist he did not live long enough
to provide us with a mechanism. This book does and explains it to
us in very simple terms with plenty of illustrative sketches.
An inspiring collection of essays, in which Albert Einstein
addresses the topics that fascinated him as a scientist,
philosopher, and humanitarian Divided by subject matter-"Science,"
"Convictions and Beliefs," "Public Affairs," etc.-these essays
consider everything from the need for a "supranational" governing
body to control war in the atomic age, to freedom in research and
education, to Jewish history and Zionism, to explanations of the
physics and scientific thought that brought him world recognition.
Throughout, Einstein's clear, eloquent voice presents an idealist's
vision and relays complex theories to the layperson. Einstein's
essays share his philosophical beliefs, scientific reasoning, and
hopes for a brighter future, and show how one of the greatest minds
of all time fully engaged with the changing world around him. This
authorized Philosophical Library book features rare photos and
never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
This book addresses the latest advances in general relativity
research, including the classical world and spinor formalisms; keys
to understanding gravity; the continuum mechanics of space-time;
new evidences on matter without energy-stress tensor; a new
approach to study gravitational stability of the solutions to the
Einstein equations; Mond theory; polynumbers field theory; the
algebra, geometry and physics of hyperland; S2-like star orbits
near the galactic center in RN and Yukawa gravity; geodesic
analysis in multidimensional gravity models; and the collapsing of
general relativity and the singularity in the event of the Big Bang
and black holes.
The General Theory of Relativity: A Mathematical Exposition will
serve readers as a modern mathematical introduction to the general
theory of relativity. Throughout the book, examples, worked-out
problems, and exercises (with hints and solutions) are furnished.
Topics in this book include, but are not limited to: tensor
analysis the special theory of relativity the general theory of
relativity and Einstein's field equations spherically symmetric
solutions and experimental confirmations static and stationary
space-time domains black holes cosmological models algebraic
classifications and the Newman-Penrose equations the coupled
Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations appendices covering
mathematical supplements and special topics Mathematical rigor, yet
very clear presentation of the topics make this book a unique text
for both university students and research scholars. Anadijiban Das
has taught courses on Relativity Theory at The University College
of Dublin, Ireland, Jadavpur University, India, Carnegie-Mellon
University, USA, and Simon Fraser University, Canada. His major
areas of research include, among diverse topics, the mathematical
aspects of general relativity theory. Andrew DeBenedictis has
taught courses in Theoretical Physics at Simon Fraser University,
Canada, and is also a member of The Pacific Institute for the
Mathematical Sciences. His research interests include quantum
gravity, classical gravity, and semi-classical gravity.
This advanced undergraduate text introduces Einstein's general
theory of relativity. The topics covered include geometric
formulation of special relativity, the principle of equivalence,
Einstein's field equation and its spherical-symmetric solution, as
well as cosmology. An emphasis is placed on physical examples and
simple applications without the full tensor apparatus. It begins by
examining the physics of the equivalence principle and looks at how
it inspired Einstein's idea of curved spacetime as the
gravitational field. At a more mathematically accessible level, it
provides a metric description of a warped space, allowing the
reader to study many interesting phenomena such as gravitational
time dilation, GPS operation, light deflection, precession of
Mercury's perihelion, and black holes. Numerous modern topics in
cosmology are discussed from primordial inflation and cosmic
microwave background to the dark energy that propels an
accelerating universe. Building on Cheng's previous book,
'Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology: A Basic Introduction', this
text has been tailored to the advanced student. It concentrates on
the core elements of the subject making it suitable for a
one-semester course at the undergraduate level. It can also serve
as an accessible introduction of general relativity and cosmology
for those readers who want to study the subject on their own. The
proper tensor formulation of Einstein's field equation is presented
in an appendix chapter for those wishing to glimpse further at the
mathematical details.
This book is about black holes, one of the most intriguing objects
of modern theoretical physics and astrophysics. For many years,
black holes have been considered as interesting solutions of the
Theory of General Relativity with a number of amusing mathematical
properties. Now after the discovery of astrophysical black holes,
the Einstein gravity has become an important tool for their study.
This self-contained textbook combines physical, mathematical, and
astrophysical aspects of black hole theory. Pedagogically
presented, it contains 'standard' material on black holes as well
as relatively new subjects such as the role of hidden symmetries in
black hole physics, and black holes in spacetimes with large extra
dimensions. The book will appeal to students and young scientists
interested in the theory of black holes.
