Physics Theory

Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger were friends and comrades-in-arms against what they considered the most preposterous aspects of quantum physics: its indeterminacy. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrödinger is equally well known for his thought experiment about the cat in the box who ends up "spread out" in a probabilistic state, neither wholly alive nor wholly dead.

Entropy is one of the most profound and misunderstood concepts in modern science — at once a physical quantity, a measure of uncertainty, and a metaphor for the passage of time itself. Entropy: The Order of Disorder explores this concept in its full philosophical and scientific depth, tracing its evolution from the thermodynamics of Clausius and Boltzmann to the cosmology of the expanding universe, the information theory of Shannon, and the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

Whether it is true or not that not more than 12 persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. The books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them. In order to make a popular explanation of this far-reaching theory available, the present book was written.

The explanations of transcendent phenomena given by saints, sages, and near-death experiencers—miracles, immortality, heaven, God, and transcendent awareness—are fully congruent with scientific discoveries in the fields of relativity, quantum physics, medicine, M-theory, neuroscience, and quantum biology. The Physics of God describes the intersections of science and religion with colorful, easy-to-understand metaphors, making abstruse subjects within both science and religion easily accessible to the layman—no math, no dogma.

In 2019, Giuseppe Carleo and his team pioneered the application of machine learning to quantum physics. This book is an introduction to how AI revolutionizes quantum field theory (QFT), from scalar fields to complex gauge theories describing quarks and gluons. The narrative unfolds in three acts. First, readers discover the mathematical kinship between neural networks and quantum fields—the renormalization group maps onto information flow through neural layers, while gauge symmetry provides blueprints for AI architectures. Through Python code, readers build networks that discover phase ...

In the years following her role as the lead author of the international best seller, Limits to Growth - the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet - Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001. Thinking in Systems is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem-solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute's Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world....

John Archibald Wheeler: More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet. (J.A. Wheeler, Princeton Joseph Henry Professor of Physics) The great Albert Einstein stated, "The development of Western Science is based on two great achievements, the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by ...

Quantum theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton. This book gives a lucid, exciting, and accessible account of the surprising and counterintuitive ideas that shape our understanding of the sub-atomic world. It does not disguise the problems of interpretation that still remain unsettled 75 years after the initial discoveries. Uncertainty, probabilistic physics, complementarity, the problematic character of measurement, and decoherence are among the many topics discussed.

"More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet.” Dr. John Archibald Wheeler, Princeton University’s Joseph Henry Professor of Physics AT LONG LAST, TIME’S FOUNDATIONAL, UNIFYING SECRETS REVEALED! Join Dr. E on a fantastic journey on towards the hitherto unsung secrets of time, whence time's arrows and asymmetries across all realms are exalted and unified via the novel physical principle of a fourth...

In this illuminating book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that fundamental physics - the search for the laws of nature - is losing its way. Ambitious ideas about extra dimensions, exotic particles, multiple universes, and strings have captured the publics imagination -- and the imagination of experts.

"[Greene] develops one fresh new insight after another...In the great tradition of physicists writing for the masses, The Elegant Universe sets a standard that will be hard to beat." --George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as...

In A History of Physics, Bob Kowalski takes the reader on a bold, critical, and deeply reflective journey through the foundations of science that have shaped our view of the universe. Far from being merely a chronology of physical advances, this book is a groundbreaking work: it challenges established truths, questions dominant theories, and proposes new ways of thinking about reality. From Newton to Einstein, from Maxwell to the Standard Model, Kowalski presents the milestones of physics with precision and clarity, but is not content with repeating academic dogma. He investigates what has ...

Have you ever sensed that mainstream science only scratches the surface of how light—and the universe—truly works?

In clear, accessible language—no physics PhD required—this book dares you to question foundational theories and reignite your sense of wonder. By blending historical insights with fresh scientific perspectives, you’ll discover: A Forgotten Concept: Why the idea of the ether was abandoned—and why ...

Alexander Unzicker is a theoretical physicist and writes about elementary questions of natural philosophy. His critique of contemporary physics Bankrupting Physics (Macmillan) received the ‘Science Book of the Year’ award (German edition 2010). With The Mathematical Reality, Unzicker presents his most fundamental work to date, which is the result of years of study of natural laws and their historical development.The discovery of fundamental laws of nature has influenced the fate of Homo sapiens more than anything else. Has modern physics already understood these laws? Many puzzles ...

We're living in the midst of a scientific revolution that's captured the general public's attention and imagination.
