Arnold Sommerfeld
Science, Life and Turbulent Times 1868-1951
Language: English
Release Date: June 24, 2013
The subject of the book is a biography of the theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951). Although Sommerfeld is famous as a quantum theorist for the elaboration of the semi-classical atomic theory (Bohr-Sommerfeld model, Sommerfeld's fine-structure constant), his role in the history of modern...

The premise in Continuous Living in a Living Universe that the Universe is alive with a well-developed immune system that rejects anyone or anything that is anti-life. Many religious and spiritual ideas are considered critically in the light of this idea of a universal immunity to evil. Recommendations...
The Large Hadron Collider
The Extraordinary Story of the Higgs Boson and Other Stuff That Will Blow Your Mind
Language: English
Release Date: October 1, 2014
Since 2008 scientists have conducted experiments in a hyperenergized, 17-mile supercollider beneath the border of France and Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (or what scientists call "the LHC") is one of the wonders of the modern world—a highly sophisticated scientific instrument...

Consciousness, Quantum Physics, and the Fifth Dimension
Language: English
Release Date: August 13, 2008
A study of the new scientific understanding of consciousness and the mind as a fifth dimension of reality
• Introduces the existence of a fifth dimension--one of mind--an inner- or hyperspace where time is transcended
• Shows how the barrier of the speed of light is actually a gateway...

The new experiments underway at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland may significantly change our understanding of elementary particle physics and, indeed, the universe. This textbook provides a cutting-edge introduction to the field, preparing first-year graduate students and advanced...
Physics of Ultra-Cold Matter
Atomic Clouds, Bose-Einstein Condensates and Rydberg Plasmas
Language: English
Release Date: November 28, 2012
The advent of laser cooling of atoms led to the discovery of ultra-cold matter, with temperatures below liquid Helium, which displays a variety of new physical phenomena. Physics of Ultra-Cold Matter gives an overview of this recent area of science, with a discussion of its main results and a description...

This book develops two exciting areas of particle physics research. It applies the recent new insights about the usefulness of helicity amplitudes in understanding gauge theory to the long-standing effort to understand theories with both electric and magnetic charges. It is known that for some supersymmetric...
