Engineering Physics

Are the physical laws of our universe finely tuned, such that life can exist? What does this imply about how our universe formed? Questions like these are examined in Nature's Balancing Act, presented for a wide audience.

For hundreds of years, scientists of quantum physics have been telling things that looked unrealistic at the time they were living in. These scientists understood that everything is energy and discovered the most unbelievable laws that you are probably already familiar with.

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.

Cuando Newton formuló la ley de la gravedad, unificó las reglas que rigen los cielos y la Tierra. Hoy el mayor desafío de la física es encontrar una síntesis de las dos grandes teorías, basadas en principios matemáticos diferentes: la de la relatividad y la cuántica. Combinarlas sería el mayor logro de la ciencia, una profunda fusión de todas las fuerzas de la naturaleza en una hermosa y magnífica ecuación que nos permitiría comprender los misterios más profundos del universo.

Tiden er en gåde. For at løse den tager fysiker Troels Harmark os med på en rejse tilbage til antikkens græske filosoffer, videre op gennem naturvidenskabens historie til bl.a. Newton og Einstein og helt ud til forskningsfronten i moderne fysik og de største spørgsmål som, hvordan universet blev til. Tiden oprandt ved universets fødsel, og vi lever stadig i tiden her 13,8 milliarder år senere. Vi har en krop, der ældes, og kan ikke forestille os vores liv uden tid – vi indordner os under den, og tænker, at den bevæger sig regelmæssigt, som visernes præcise vandring over døgnets timer på uret.

In an era defined by rapid change and interconnectivity, Neodynamics emerges as a groundbreaking framework for understanding and designing systems that thrive in complexity. Drawing on principles from systems theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and beyond, this book unites technical rigor with visionary insight to present a science of potential, agency, and flourishing.

Quantum computing represents a transformative technology with unparalleled potential to revolutionize industries, solve complex global challenges, and advance scientific discovery. Its ability to process vast amounts of data and optimize intricate systems can drive breakthroughs in areas such as healthcare, climate modeling, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. RICHARD DAWKINS explică felul în care natura și oamenii au învăţat să învingă forţa gravitaţiei și să se înalţe în zbor: de la legendarul Icar la splendida specie Argentavis magnificens, din păcate dispărută, de la fraţii Wright și Boeing 747 la libelula Tinkerbella nana și șoimul-călător. Dar cartea e în același timp despre avântul minţii, despre evadarea din banal, prin știinţă și imaginaţie. Cu ilustraţiile ei superbe și fascinante, reprezintă o colaborare unică între unul dintre cei mai mari oameni de știinţă și o artistă talentată. DESPRE AUTOR.

മാനവരാശി അഭിമുഖീകരിക്കുന്ന അതിനൂതനമായ വെല്ലുവിളികൾ എന്തൊക്കെ? അവയെ മാനവരാശി ഏതു വിധേനയാണ് തരണം ചെയ്യുക? ഈ ചോദ്യങ്ങളുടെ സമഗ്രമായ ഉത്തരങ്ങളാണ് ലോക പ്രശസ്തനായ ശാസ്‌ത്രജ്ഞന്‍ സ്റ്റീഫൻ ഹോക്കിൻസ് തന്റെ പുസ്തകത്തിലൂടെ നൽകാൻ ഉതകുന്നത്.

The author devoted more than 20 years to this book, proving a philosophical principle and making several critical comments on different theories regarding social problems we are now facing: what is the natural foundation of human subsistence or human phenomena? Why is the progression of civilization and its social development inevitably moving toward an endangering destination? And why are the mental attributes and knowledge system ultimately proved unhelpful or even appear negative?

Drawing intriguing parallels between the present era of quantum physics and past episodes of scientific confusion, Beyond the Quantum tells the story of how pilot-wave theory was discovered and abandoned, revived and reconstructed, and how today it can pave the way to a new and radical physics beyond the quantum.

Einstein et l'espace-temps. Jusqu'aux premières années du XXe siècle, l'espace et le temps sont perçus comme les catégories préexistantes dans lesquelles se manifeste tout le contenu de l'univers : la matière sous toutes ses formes et la force à l'origine de toutes les interactions de la matière. Relativité et théorie quantique Les révolutions conceptuelles du début du XXe siècle initiées par Einstein, relativité et théorie quantique, vont changer radicalement ces notions et les relations qu'elles entretiennent entre elles.

No one can escape a sense of awe when reflecting on the workings of the mind: we see, we hear, we feel, we are aware of the world around us. But what is the mind? What do we mean when we say we are “aware” of something? What is this peculiar state in our heads, at once utterly familiar and bewilderingly mysterious, that we call awareness or consciousness? In Physics in Mind, eminent biophysicist Werner R. Loewenstein argues that to answer these questions, we must first understand the physical mechanisms that underlie the workings of the mind.

Un acercamiento fascinante al gran debate que cambió nuestra percepción de una característica fundamental del universo: el tiempo. El 6 de abril de 1922, en París, se llevó a cabo un debate público entre Einstein y Bergson sobre el concepto del tiempo. Einstein sostenía que la teoría del tiempo de Bergson era una noción psicológica y superficial, incompatible con las realidades cuantitativas de la física.

As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought, and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom, and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes Time Special? demonstrates this claim in detail and then turns to two novel positive tasks.

“Gravitational Renaissance: Unveiling the Universe Through Evolving Compressive Gravity” is the first volume in Dr. James W. Michel's ambitious “Cosmic Chronicles Monograph Series”. This groundbreaking work redefines our understanding of the universe by challenging the traditional concepts of gravity and the need for dark matter and dark energy.

¿Qué son las matemáticas? ¿Para qué sirven? ¿Por qué es importante conocer su historia? Estas son algunas de las preguntas a las que da respuesta esta obra que nos narra de forma concisa la historia de esta ciencia desde la Prehistoria hasta nuestros días. Pero esta narración no es solamente una superposición de personajes históricos y de sus felices descubrimientos, sino que es una reivindicación de los componentes emocionales, incluso irracionales, que muchas veces han acompañado las actitudes apasionadas de estos célebres personajes, empeñados en buscar soluciones...

When Stephen Hawking died, he was widely recognized as the world's best physicist, and even its smartest person. He was neither. In Hawking Hawking, science journalist Charles Seife explores how Stephen Hawking came to be thought of as humanity's greatest genius. Hawking spent his career grappling with deep questions in physics, but his renown didn't rest on his science. He was a master of self-promotion, hosting parties for time travelers, declaring victory over problems he had not solved, and wooing billionaires.

What if everything you’ve been seeking—truth, clarity, healing, awareness—has always been shining all around you? In How Light Works, explore the full spectrum of light as you've never seen it before. This groundbreaking book bridges science and spirit, guiding you through the verified physics of light and into its profound connection with life, consciousness, and the human soul.

Vier Forscher und ein unablässiges Hin und Her der Ideen – vor hundert Jahren entstand eine neue Wissenschaft, die die Grenzen der Vorstellungskraft sprengte: die Quantenphysik. Ihre Protagonisten: Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr und Werner Heisenberg. Sie ergründeten das Innere der Atome und rangen mit einer scheinbar einfachen Frage: Was ist Licht? – zu einer Zeit, in der Elektrizität erstmals die Städte erhellte und Kino und Fotografie ihren Siegeszug antraten. Thomas de Padova lässt die fieberhafte Suche nach Antworten anhand der Begegnungen der Forscher lebendig werden.
