  • Gravity: Where Do We Stand?

    Edited by Roberto Peron, Monica Colpi, Vittorio Gorini, Ugo Moschella ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents an overview of the current understanding of gravitation, with a focus on the current efforts to test its theory, especially general relativity. It shows how the quest for a deeper theory, which would possibly incorporate gravity in the quantum realm, is more than ever an open field.The majority of the contributions deals with the manifold facets of “experimental gravitation”, ...

  • An Illustrated Guide to Relativity

    by Tatsu Takeuchi ...
    Aimed at both physics students and non-science majors, this unique book explains Einstein's special theory of relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. The diagrams guide the reader, step-by-step, from the basics of relativity to advanced topics including the addition of velocities, Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the twin paradox, Doppler shift, and Einstein's famous ...

  • The Little Book of Black Holes

    by Frans Pretorius, Steven S. Gubser ...
    Series series Science Essentials
    Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holesBlack holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality—a ... Read more

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more

  • Out of this World

    Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have ... Read more

  • General Relativity Without Calculus

    A Concise Introduction to the Geometry of Relativity

    by Jose Natario ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    “General Relativity Without Calculus” offers a compact but mathematically correct introduction to the general theory of relativity, assuming only a basic knowledge of high school mathematics and physics. Targeted at first year undergraduates (and advanced high school students) who wish to learn Einstein’s theory beyond popular science accounts, it covers the basics of special relativity, Minkowski ...

  • Gravity, Strings and Particles

    A Journey Into the Unknown

    by Maurizio Gasperini ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    New fundamental forces of Nature? New forms of "dark'' energy? Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this book – gravity, strings and particles – may provide answers to these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely: Besides time and ... Read more

  • The Vector Mode in the Second-order Cosmological Perturbation Theory

    by Shohei Saga ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis sheds valuable new light on the second-order cosmological perturbation theory, extensively discussing it in the context of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. It explores the observational consequences of the second-order vector mode, and addresses magnetic field generation and the weak lensing signatures, which are key phenomena of the vector mode.The author demonstrates ...

  • The B−L Phase Transition

    Implications for Cosmology and Neutrinos

    by Kai Schmitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Several of the very foundations of the cosmological standard model — the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter, and the origin of the hot big bang itself — still call for an explanation from the perspective of fundamental physics. This work advocates one intriguing possibility for a consistent cosmology that fills in the theoretical gaps while being fully in accordance with the ... Read more
