R254 Discovery Miles 2 540 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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 Physics of Time Reversal (Paperback, 2nd ed.): Robert G. Sachs The Physics of Time Reversal (Paperback, 2nd ed.)
Robert G. Sachs
R1,790 Discovery Miles 17 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

R411 Discovery Miles 4 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

R573 Discovery Miles 5 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

R1,430 Discovery Miles 14 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.

R1,681 Discovery Miles 16 810 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

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.
