    What Everyone Needs to Know®

    by Michael G. Raymer ...
    Series series What Everyone Needs To Know®
    Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining phenomena on ...

  • The Particle Zoo

    The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality

    by Gavin Hesketh ...
    What is everything really made of? If we split matter down into smaller and infinitesimally smaller pieces, where do we arrive? At the Particle Zoo - the extraordinary subatomic world of antimatter, ghostly neutrinos, strange-flavoured quarks and time-travelling electrons, gravitons and glueballs, mindboggling eleven-dimensional strings and the elusive Higgs boson itself.Be guided around this ...

  • The Quest for Reality: Bohr and Wittgenstein - two complementary views

    by Stig Stenholm ...
    In both science and philosophy, the twentieth century saw a radical breakdown of certainty in the human worldview, as quantum uncertainty and linguistic ambiguity destroyed the comfortable certitudes of the past. As these disciplines form the foundation for a human position in the world, a major epistemological reorganization had to take place. In this book, quantum theorist Stig Stenholm presents ...

  • The Story of Helium and the Birth of Astrophysics

    by Biman B. Nath ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    What if one of the most thrilling stories in the history of science turned out to be wrong? Can urban legends creep into the hallowed grounds of scientific history? As incredible as it may sound, the story of one of the most important elements in modern times – helium - has been often misrepresented in books, encyclopedias, and online sources, despite the fact that archival materials tell a ...

  • Relativity Matters

    From Einstein's EMC2 to Laser Particle Acceleration and Quark-Gluon Plasma

    by Johann Rafelski ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Rafelski presents Special Relativity in a language deemed accessible to students without any topical preparation - avoiding the burden of geometry, tensor calculus, and space-time symmetries – and yet advancing in highly contemporary context all the way to research frontiers. Special Relativity is presented such that nothing remains a paradox or just apparent, but rather is explained.A text of ... Read more

  • Breaking Paradigms In Atomic And Molecular Physics

    by Eugene Oks ...
    The book presents the following counterintuitive theoretical results breaking several paradigms of quantum mechanics and providing alternative interpretations of some important phenomena in atomic and molecular physics. 1) Singular solutions of the Schrödinger and Dirac equations should not have been always rejected: they can explain the experimental high-energy tail of the linear momentum ...

  • Theory of Particle and Cluster Emission

    by Doru S. Delion ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Nowadays experimental nuclear physics pushes its limits towards highly unstable nuclei. The theoretical description of proton-rich and neutronrich nuclei or superheavy elements has become an important part of the modern nuclear physics. The main tool to investigate such unstable nuclei concerns radioactive decays, from proton emission to fission processes. We review the main theoretical methods ... Read more
