This book is about the fundamental physics (nature).
Between the lines, it is argued that the progress in physics has been limited by the current paradigm of physics. It appears that that paradigm has been strongly influenced by religion. In this regard, the authors of the bible wrote: "And God said, let us make man in our image..." (Genesis, 1:26). It seems that those authors got it upside down. It was actually them who made God in man's image,...

In physics there is a quest to find the mythical Grand Unified Theory. It was begun by Einstein and it is a belief that there exists a singular ultimate theory of Nature and physics. It has not been found. Its search consumes today's physics. It has seen radical ideas, novelties, research paths, experiments, and more to find it. It consumes legions of physicists worldwide. Here in this book, we will review discussion on this amazing mystery,...

This updated edition of the New York Times Notable Book recounts the long hunt for Einstein's predicted gravitational waves-and celebrates their discovery.
In February 2016, astronomers announced that they had verified the last remaining prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity-vibrations in space-time, called gravitational waves. Humanity can now tune in to a cosmic orchestra. We have heard the chirp of two black holes dancing toward...

The physicist and author investigates the 20th century scientific revolution that changed our lives-and how it can go further-in this provocative essay.
Much of the modern world we experience day to day has been profoundly transformed by a scientific revolution that began in the early twentieth century. But what has science done for us lately? In This Changes Everything, author and scientist Colin Gillespie suggests that the revolution has barely...

A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.
Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and...

A religion professor elucidates the theory of the multiverse, its history, and its reception in science, philosophy, religion, and literature.
Multiverse cosmologies imagine our universe as just one of a vast number of others. Beginning with ancient Atomist and Stoic philosophies, Mary-Jane Rubenstein links contemporary models of the multiverse to their forerunners and explores the reasons for their recent appearance. One concerns the so-called fine-tuning...

Ever wonder how a graceful and slender bridge can support enormous loads over truly astonishing spans? Why domes and freestanding arches survive earthquakes that flatten the rest of a city?
Physicist Mark Denny looks at the large structures around us-tall buildings, long bridges, and big dams-and explains how they were designed and built and why they sometimes collapse, topple, or burst.
Denny uses clear, accessible language to explain the physics...

New results in this book show that at the point at which the arc root moves from the contact region, the driven flow could dominate the arc root commutation from the contact region. The arc root contact time analysis and modelling of the magnetic forces lead to able to estimate the minimum forces that moved the arc root from the contact region. The minimum force for the arc to move from the contact region, with contact opening velocities between 1...

For some, driving is an art; for others, it's a science. At the Isaac Newton School of Driving, though, every car is a laboratory on wheels and every drive an exciting journey into the world of physics.
In this book, physics professor Barry Parker-whose father was a car mechanic and garage owner-shows how almost every aspect of driving involves physics. A car's performance and handling relies on concepts such as force, momentum, and energy. Its ignition...

Physicists use "back-of-the-envelope" estimates to check whether-or-not an idea could possibly be right. In many cases, the approximate solution is all that is, needed. This compilation of 101 examples of back-of-the-envelope calculations celebrates a quantitative approach to solving physics problems. Drawing on a lifetime of physics research and nearly three decades as the editor of The Physics Teacher, Clifford Swartz, a winner of two awards from...
