Energy Physics

This book invites you on a journey through the most misunderstood concept in all of science — the vacuum. From the earliest philosophers terrified of emptiness to the modern physicists who discovered that “nothing” is a swirling ocean of energy and possibility, this is the story of how the void became the foundation of everything. We begin with the ancient debates about ether and the first laboratory vacuums of the Renaissance, then move through Einstein’s curved spacetime, quantum field theory’s restless vacuum, and the mysterious Higgs field that gives matter its mass.

In order to know where to find solar energy you must first know what solar energy is. Solar energy is energy from the sun. When the sun is shining solar energy is being produced as it sends the heat radiating to the earth.

A short and entertaining introduction to thermodynamics that uses real-world examples to explain accessibly an important but subtle scientific theory.

A pot of water boils over a hot burner on the stove. Sunshine warms your skin on a breezy day. Heat is warming things all around you. But what exactly is heat? And how do things become warmer or colder? Listen to this audiobook to find out!

What is matter? Matter is the stuff from which we and all the things in the world are made. Everything around us - from desks, to books, to our own bodies - are made of atoms, which are small enough that a million of them can fit across the breadth of a human hair. Inside every atom is a tiny nucleus and orbiting the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. The nucleus is made out of protons and neutrons, and by zooming in further, you would find that inside each there are even smaller particles: quarks.

Nata sotto la cattiva stella dell'arma che può distruggere il mondo, l'energia nucleare ha sempre attirato grandi consensi e grandi rifiuti. Da qualche anno si parla di "rinascimento nucleare" poiché questa fonte sembra rispondere non solo alla crescente domanda di energia mondiale, ma anche all'esigenza di produrre elettricità senza emettere gas serra. Ma è vero che il nucleare conviene e può contribuire allo sviluppo sostenibile? Oppure il rischio di emissioni radioattive e il problema delle scorie da smaltire ce ne devono tenere lontani?

Imagine you’re trying to build the biggest, most awesome LEGO castle ever. You gather all your colorful bricks—the reds, blues, yellows, and greens. You plan your design, start stacking the bricks, and build towers, walls, gates, and secret tunnels. Everything’s going great. But suddenly, something odd starts to happen. Parts of your castle stick together more tightly than they should. Some towers refuse to fall over, no matter how much you poke them. And even stranger, the whole play area you’re building on starts stretching.

The Enduring Human Quest for New Energy. Where Science Ends and Imagination Begins: Defining "Fictional Energy" The Concept of "Latest Discoveries" in a Fictional Context

¿Qué es la física cuántica? ¿Conoces los misterios más grandes del Universo? La física cuántica es, de todas las teorías científicas, la que quizás más verificaciones y contrastaciones ha recibido al mismo tiempo, y a la vez la más determinante para la vida que llevamos en el siglo XXI. El término “cuántica” proviene de “quantum”, que es la unidad más pequeña que conforma la luz. La física cuántica nos enseña que más allá de todo lo que es material y palpable hay energía.

Did you know that tiny atoms that make up all matter hold huge amounts of energy? This energy, called nuclear energy, can power the television and refrigerator in your home. How is nuclear energy produced, though? And what are the drawbacks of this energy source? Listen to this audiobook to find out all about nuclear energy.

In this 1972 treatise, Isaac Asimov takes the listener on an historic journey through the development of man's understanding of electricity, chemistry, and - ultimately - nuclear energy. Asimov's incomparable ability to simplify the complex is apparent as he guides you through the milestones of scientific thought that connected ideas about electricity and magnetism to the nature of matter, and led to the advances in discovery through the first half of the 20th century that resulted in the harnessing of previously unknown energy directly from the heart of the atom.

A fatal flaw in the most fundamental model of nature has been overlooked for so long that many people do not question it. The transverse wave model of photons has failed at almost every prediction its proponents made. And the proof of its validity as a model for photons has failed to consider that longitudinal waves accomplish the same thing in most experiments. Don't ignore the inconvenient facts that oppose your model.
