Modern Physics

Are you captivated by the mysteries of the universe and the minds that unravel them? Eager to understand how a single equation transformed our understanding of everything from atoms to galaxies? Wondering how the thoughts of one visionary could redefine the boundaries of space, time, and reality itself? Dive into the extraordinary life and legacy of Albert Einstein in A Brief History of Albert Einstein - Space, Time, and Quantum Theory: E=mc² and the Foundations of Modern Physics.

Mind Openers 2.0 is the second installment in a two-part set. It takes a fresh look at relativity, cosmology, and quantum theory by imagining a "sandbox universe," in which space and time are treated as tangible and visualizable phenomena. In addition to providing an intuitive feel for the physics, the model makes a number of acutely unexpected predictions. The author is a geophysicist (M.Sc., Fellow of Geoscientists, Canada) and educator, who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

During the 1920s, the world was changed forever when a new theory in physics - quantum theory - was developed. To this very day, this theory enables us to predict the behavior of physical bodies and explains many natural phenomena. Decades later, Dr. Shemer Keydar embarked on the study of physics and found an amazing parallel between the theories he was learning and the principles of Kabbala and Hasidism. Dr. Shemer (Shmariahu) Keydar now invites you to join him on this special journey.

In this groundbreaking debut, combat veteran and consciousness explorer Timothy McCoy takes listeners on a mind-bending journey through time, trauma, and transformation. Drawing on the visionary theories of J.W. Dunne, the strange truths of quantum physics, and his own deep experiences with ayahuasca, McCoy weaves a powerful fusion of memoir, metaphysics, and meaning.

What is the connection between physics and consciousness? In this groundbreaking new audiobook, Samuel Avery presents the quantum screen, a paradigm-shifting model of perceptual consciousness and of the world. This model looks to the enigmas of modern physics to demonstrate the primacy of consciousness - the essential oneness of spirit and matter.

How do you know what is real? In his new book The Reality Myth: Unlocking the Secrets of Modern Physics & the Power of Intention While Redefining Your Place in the Universe, best-selling author Ishan Rami takes the listener on a mind-bending journey through time and space to answer that question and much more.

What was Isaac Newton like? Secretive, vindictive, withdrawn, obsessive, and oh, yes, brilliant. His imagination was so large that, just “by thinking on it”, he invented calculus and figured out the scientific explanation of gravity. Yet Newton was so small-minded that he set out to destroy other scientists who dared question his findings. This compelling portrait of Newton, contradictions and all, places him against the backdrop of 17th-century England, a time of plague, the Great Fire of London, and two revolutions.

The central motif running through this thought-provoking book is Jung's most misunderstood concept, synchronicity. By deftly meshing his interpretation of synchronicity with key concepts in quantum physics and Middle Way Buddhism, Victor Mansfield brings fresh insight to our understanding of synchronicity.

Augustin Fresnel (1788–1827) shocked the scientific elite with his unique understanding of the physics of light. The lens he invented was a brilliant feat of engineering that made lighthouses blaze many times brighter, farther, and more efficiently. Battling the establishment, his own poor health, and the limited technology of the time, Fresnel was able to achieve his goal of illuminating the entire French coast. At first, the British sought to outdo the new Fresnel-equipped lighthouses as a matter of national pride.

The marvelous complexity of the universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape, scale, and destiny. Where did these laws and these constants come from? And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematics? Author Peter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the universe with its laws and its constants. He explores the origin of the conservation of energy, of electromagnetism, of classical and quantum mechanics, and of thermodynamics, showing how all these laws spring from deep symmetries.

The latest developments in physics have the potential to radically revise our understanding of the world: its makeup, its evolution, and the fundamental forces that drive its operation. Knocking on Heaven's Door is an exhilarating and accessible overview of these developments and an impassioned argument for the significance of science. There could be no better guide than Lisa Randall.

Nobel per la chimica nel 1993, Kary Mullis è divenuto una leggenda per la scoperta della PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), una tecnica che ha rivoluzionato il mondo della chimica e della genetica. Esperto surfista e contestatore nella Berkeley negli anni Sessanta, Mullis è l'unico Nobel ad aver descritto un possibile incontro con gli alieni.

In meinem Meisterwerk "Psychoepigenetik - das Wunder der Neuzeit" enthülle ich die unglaubliche Macht deines Geistes und die Verbindung zu deinem Körper. Erfahre, wie du durch die bahnbrechende Wissenschaft der Psychoepigenetik deine DNA aktivierst und dein Leben transformierst.

Was ist Physik und was ist Pseudowissenschaft? - Holm Hümmler erläutert die wichtigsten Konzepte und zeigt auf, wo Wissenschaft nur falsch verstanden und wo sie in Scheinargumenten missbraucht wird. Das Hörbuch wird von Alexa Waschkau, Journalistin und Mitgründerin des Podcasts "Hoaxilla" gesprochen. Können esoterische und alternativmedizinische Konzepte mit der Relativitätstheorie und Quantenphysik begründet werden? Wer sich auf Einstein, Heisenberg oder Schrödinger beruft, beansprucht wissenschaftliche Seriosität und schreckt unangenehme Fragen ab.

A system can describe what we see (the solar system), operate a computer (Windows 10), or be made on a page (the 14 engineered lines of a sonnet). In this book, Clifford Siskin shows that system is best understood as a genre - a form that works physically in the world to mediate our efforts to understand it. Indeed, many Enlightenment authors published works they called "system" to compete with the essay and the treatise.

In Search of a Theory of Everything takes listeners on an adventurous journey through space and time on a quest for a unified "theory of everything" by means of a rare and agile interplay between the natural philosophies of influential ancient Greek thinkers and the laws of modern physics.

In this Martian adventure story, two men fly to the highest mountain on Mars, and in the process learn more about Mars and about themselves. Bova's work is premeated by the idea of space as a new frontier, and of SF settings as opportunities for explorers and entrepreneuers, the classic Heinlein...
