Steven E Landsburg: Understanding Time
And Space: An Invitation To The Theory

Understanding Time And Space: An Invitation To The Theory Of Relativity For Anyone Who Is Now, Or Has Ever Been, An Inquisitive High School Student

Einstein: A Life in Science and Music

Advanced Series In Astrophysics And Cosmology

The current cosmological model relies on inflationary theories, which incorporate baryosynthesis, dark matter, and dark energy. Supported by precise cosmological data, it necessitates physics beyond the standard models of fundamental forces, including gravity. This connection between macroscopic gravity on large scales and quantum gravity on the smallest scales is where quantum gravity's nature becomes evident. Quantum gravity effects alter our classical understanding of gravitational phenomena as described by General Relativity, leading to observable deviations from the conventional cosmological model. The field of cosmoparticle physics explores the interplay between the micro and macro worlds, offering insights into the development of quantum gravity and its cosmological implications. In this work we hence wanted to cover all the amazing developments which have happened on the interface of quantum gravity theories and cosmology, making it a valuable resource for any researcher interested in exploring these fields in depth or starting research in them.

General Relativity

Very Short Introductions

Entropy is an idea that is no less important than energy, but it is not widely understood. We are surrounded by free energy: what we value is energy that's not too polluted with entropy. This book explains how the concepts of energy and entropy were separated from one another over half a century.

Radical Relativity

General relativity is one of the most profound statements in science. It is a theory of gravity that allows us to model the large-scale structure of the Universe, to understand and explain the motions and workings of stars, to reveal how gravity interacts with light waves and even how it hosts its own gravitational waves. It is central to our notions of where the Universe comes from and what its eventual fate might be. For those wishing to learn physics, general relativity enjoys a dubious distinction. It is frequently viewed as a difficult theory, whose mastery is a rite of passage into the world of advanced physics and is described in an array of unforgiving, weighty textbooks aimed firmly at aspiring professionals. Written by experimental physicists and aimed at providing the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to general relativity, this book is designed to be different. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur possessing a curious and adaptable mind looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronised if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail. Using numerous worked examples, diagrams and careful physically motivated explanations, this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and revolutionary view of the physical world that general relativity provides and which all physicists should have the opportunity to experience.

General Relativity for the Gifted Amateur

Using numerous worked examples, diagrams and careful physically motivated explanations this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and revolutionary view of the physical world that general relativity provides and which all physicists should have the opportunity to experience.

This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory (Second Edition) and presents the theory of the evolution of density perturbations and relic gravity waves, the theory of cosmological inflation, and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly in a pedagogical way. These parts may serve as a detailed introduction to current research.Particle physics and cosmology enjoyed rapid development between the first and the second editions of this book. In the second edition, the numerical values of particle physics and cosmological parameters have been updated in accordance to contemporary data.

Introduction To The Theory Of The Early Universe: Cosmological Perturbations And Inflationary Theory

Elements in the Philosophy of Physics

In this Element, the author offers a comprehensive interpretation of general relativity, describing its potential reality, internal structure, and differences from previous theories. The aim is to shape research agendas for physics philosophers, graduate students, and academics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Foundations of General Relativity

Covering 20 years of Dr Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga's research, this book shall be viewed as a second volume to Exotic Smoothness and Physics (written in collaboration with Prof. Carl Brans).A prominent question that the author tries to find an answer to is, how does specific physics emerge from the abstract mathematics of 4-manifolds? The key idea to that question is Smooth Quantum Gravity, a theory based on very few principles and therefore easily understood. Through the application of this theory, a connection between geometry/topology and quantum physics is created.In The Wild Fractal Nature of Spacetime, Dr Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga explains Smooth Quantum Gravity and applies it to the standard cosmological model. Through that, the inflationary expansion of the cosmos is introduced, the cosmological constant is calculated, dark matter is shown as a direct consequence and the Big Bang is described as well. The entire concept of the cosmos is based on a model of spacetime, which is based on 4 simple axioms and thus uniquely defines it. As a result, measurable quantities such as the inflation rate and the cosmological constant can be calculated and compared with the measurement results of the PLANCK mission, for instance.However, the results on inflation theory, the cosmological constant and dimensional reduction can be understood and used independently from an exotic smoothness structure -- no prior knowledge on the topic is required.The author recommends his book to scientists and interested students who see the world through the lens of geometry and physics.

Wild Fractal Nature Of Spacetime, The: Smooth Quantum Gravity And Cosmology

"Can you kick a black hole?" "What about electrons?" As a child, quantum-physicist Smitha Vishveshwara pondered such questions with her astrophysicist father, C. V. Vishveshwara (Vishu); decades later, their musings grew into a series of letter exchanges in Two Revolutions: Relativity and Quantum Physics. The letters between father and daughter lead the scientifically curious reader through these two remarkable branches of physics that dramatically changed our perception of nature. From the subatomic to the astronomical realms, they weave a rich tapestry of scientific insight, history, personal anecdotes, philosophy, and wonder. The book traces Einstein's tenacious journey in formulating the theory of relativity, in which space and time merge, and gravitation warps spacetime, forming the very fabric of the Universe. The authors reveal how black holes and gravitational waves emerge as bizarre and awe-inspiring constructs within this framework. In the quantum realm, the book mulls over conundrums posed by wave-particle duality, Schrodinger's curious cat, the beautiful dance of electrons in atoms, and entanglement. It explores communities of particles acting in marvelous concert in magnetic resonance imaging, superfluids, and more. Fate took unforeseen twists while the book was still in the making. In 2016, after decades of work by numerous researchers, the detection of gravitational waves - Vishu's lifelong dream - finally came to pass. Emanating from two spiraling blackholes a billion light years away, the waves' signals even showed hints of Vishu's pioneering predictions on black hole ringdowns from the 1970s. But soon after that glorious culmination, Vishu fell critically ill. Smitha concludes their story by recreating the euphoria of scientific discovery against the intimate backdrop of life and death.

A Dialogue between Father and Daughter

Two Revolutions: Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Physics

A modern introduction to classical mechanics that allows students to develop confidence, a broad mathematical tool kit, and a correct physical intuition while working in a collaborative and supportive environmentUndergraduate physics students must often "unlearn" aspects of classical mechanics as they progress through college and graduate school. This book, by introducing classical mechanics as the limiting case in special relativity of an infinite speed of light, eliminates the need for such backtracking. Starting with time/space and energy/momentum, the book allows students to solve problems addressing modern topics of research in astronomy, cosmology, and particle physics. The text then derives Newtonian mechanics, and covers the full syllabus of a conventional introductory course, but at a deeper level of mathematical sophistication for topics such as rigid body and planetary motion. Extensive mathematical appendixes are integrated into the text, as are curated problems sets in each chapter. The book is intended as a long-overdue revision of both the curriculum and pedagogy of the traditional introductory honors classical mechanics course. Begins with special relativity as a "leveler" that puts all students at the same starting pointRelies on cooperative learning rather than a competitive "weed-out" mentalityEmphasizes developing mathematical tools as a precise and powerful language in the context of developing a correct intuition and better understanding of physical phenomenaEnables a more rapid path through the conventional undergraduate physics curriculum, preparing students for advanced courses in science and engineering
