Cover of Structure Formation in Modified Gravity Cosmologies
by Alexandre Barreira
Language: English
Release Date: May 3, 2016

This unique thesis covers all aspects of theories of gravity beyond Einstein’s General Relativity, from setting up the equations that describe the evolution of perturbations, to determining the best-fitting parameters using constraints like the microwave background radiation, and ultimately to the...
Cover of Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1
by Balungi Francis
Language: English
Release Date: June 27, 2018

This math-free book is a good introduction to quantum gravity and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1899. It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory.- doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should...
Cover of Space-Time Foliation in Quantum Gravity
by Yuki Sato
Language: English
Release Date: May 28, 2014

In this thesis, the author considers quantum gravity to investigate the mysterious origin of our universe and its mechanisms. He and his collaborators have greatly improved the analyticity of two models: causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) and n-DBI gravity, with the space-time foliation which is...
Cover of The Quantization of Gravity
by Claus Gerhardt
Language: English
Release Date: April 14, 2018

​A unified quantum theory incorporating the four fundamental forces of nature is one of the major open problems in physics. The Standard Model combines electro-magnetism, the strong force and the weak force, but ignores gravity. The quantization of gravity is therefore a necessary first step to...

The Hunt for Zero Point

Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology

by Nick Cook
Language: English
Release Date: December 18, 2007

This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology,...
Cover of Gravitational Energy
by Benjamin Lizio
Language: English
Release Date: August 27, 2016

Sometimes things are not what they seem to be. We can experience something and attribute it to a long held belief. Without questioning it, we may not begin to fully understand the processes in play.The title of this book states a new terminology. In my years of study and pondering over gravity,...
Cover of Gravity's Mysteries

Gravity's Mysteries

From Ether to Dark Matter

by Louis Komzsik
Language: English
Release Date: February 11, 2012

Gravity is the most detectable physical phenomenon of the universe. Nothing or nobody can escape its grasp, even in very large, astronomical distances. It is manifested in many aspects of our lives. Yet we are still not really sure what carries it. The gradually increasing understanding of gravity...
Cover of Gravity: Where Do We Stand?
by
Language: English
Release Date: December 14, 2015

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of gravitation, with a focus on the current efforts to test its theory, especially general relativity. It shows how the quest for a deeper theory, which would possibly incorporate gravity in the quantum realm, is more than ever an open field. The...
Cover of Mass and Motion in General Relativity
by
Language: English
Release Date: January 19, 2011

From the infinitesimal scale of particle physics to the cosmic scale of the universe, research is concerned with the nature of mass. While there have been spectacular advances in physics during the past century, mass still remains a mysterious entity at the forefront of current research. Our current...
Cover of Quantum Cosmology

Quantum Cosmology

A Fundamental Description of the Universe

by Martin Bojowald
Language: English
Release Date: July 15, 2011

Consequences of quantum gravity on grander scales are expected to be enormous: only such a theory can show how black holes really behave and where our universe came from. Applications of loop quantum gravity to cosmology have especially by now shed much light on cosmic evolution of a universe in a...
Cover of Speed of Gravity
by James Constant
Language: English
Release Date: November 11, 2014

Electrostatics exemplified by Coulomb's law and Electrodynamics exemplified by Maxwell's equations are two forms of electric effects caused by electrons and photons. Electrodynamic phenomena in particular exhibit time-like wave motion of electric fields and photons. Gravitational phenomena...
Cover of Unified Principles of Physics and Nature

Unified Principles of Physics and Nature

Energy Fluctuation In Quantum Atoms, Black Holes, Stars, Gravity

by Tim G. Meloche
Language: English
Release Date: June 25, 2014

The principles presented in this publication unify gravity with the quantum atom. The many areas of focused research within the scientific community now have a clear harmonized path forward. There are fundamental reasons the nearly 100 year scientific quest to unify general relativity and quantum theories...
Cover of Classical and Quantum Aspects of Gravity in Relation to the Emergent Paradigm
by Sumanta Chakraborty
Language: English
Release Date: August 1, 2017

This thesis explores the connection between gravity and thermodynamics and provides a unification scheme that opens up new directions of exploration. Further elaborating on the Hawking effect and the possibility of singularity avoidance, the author not only discusses the information loss paradox at...

The Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting

On Recent Developments in Theoretical and Experimental General Relativity, Astrophysics, and Relativistic Field Theories(In 3 Volumes)

by Kjell Rosquist, Robert T Jantzen, Remo Ruffini
Language: English
Release Date: January 26, 2015

The Marcel Grossmann Meetings seek to further the development of the foundations and applications of Einstein's general relativity by promoting theoretical understanding in the relevant fields of physics, mathematics, astronomy and astrophysics and to direct future technological, observational, and...
