Product Description: Elementary readers will get a look into space exploration as they move through this fascinating nonfiction title. Readers will discover galaxies like the Milky Way, the effect gravity has on the inner and outer planets, comets, asteroids, constellations, and what measures scientists are taking to learn more about the vast body of the universe and more, including the Hubble Telescope and the Mars Rover...read more

Product Description: 50-50 is 100-1. Every unit is duplicitous. Any combination (transformation) conserves a circle.

Product Description: Only a circle can circle and a circle can only circle. Thus, the absolute is relative.

Product Description: Abstract expression, cubism, all art, form, articulates, and, thus, conserves, a circle.

Product Description: The search for gravitational radiation with optical interferometers is gaining momentum worldwide. Beside the VIRGO and GEO gravitational wave observatories in Europe and the two LIGOs in the United States, which have operated successfully during the past decade, further observatories are being completed (KAGRA in Japan) or planned (ILIGO in India)...read more

Product Description: In June of 1996, at the idyllic seaside resort of Guarujá, Brazil, a renowned group of researchers in space and astrophysical plasmas met to provide a forum on Advanced Topics on Astrophysical and Space Plasmas at a school consisting of some 60 students and teachers, mainly from Brazil and Argentina, but also from all the other parts of the globe...read more

Product Description: Dieses essential vermittelt auf eingängige Weise, worum es bei Albert Einsteins Relativitätstheorie geht und weshalb sie von so großer Bedeutung für die Wissenschaft und den Alltag ist. Zu Beginn erläutert Bernd Sonne die zugrunde liegenden Prinzipien und einige Beispiele der Speziellen Relativitätstheorie, anschließend geht er ausführlich auf die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie ein...read more

Product Description: This collection of articles gives a nice overview of the fast growing field of diffusion and transport. The area of non-Browman statistical mechanics has many extensions into other fields like biology, ecology, geophysics etc. These tutorial lectures address e...read more

Product Description: 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 physics is not confined to atoms and quanta...read more

Product Description: The concept of time has fascinated humanity throughout recorded history, and it remains one of the biggest mysteries in science and philosophy. Time is clearly one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe and thus a deeper understanding of nature at a fundamental level also demands a comprehension of time...read more

Product Description: In the development of Fundamental Physics on one side, and of Astronomy/Cosmology on the other side, periods of parallell, relatively independent progress seem to alternate with others of intense interaction and mutual influence. To this latter case belong the very beginnings of Modern Physics, with Galileo and Newton...read more

Product Description: The question of a possible temporal variation of the fundamental constants was raised by Paul Dirac in his "large number hypothesis" in 1937. Today it appears in the context of the search for a unified theory of the fundamental interactions...read more

Product Description: Based on graduate school lectures in contemporary relativity and gravitational physics, this book gives a complete and unified picture of the present status of theoretical and observational properties of astrophysical black holes...read more

Product Description: Identity is inversion is infinity thus asymmtric renormalization articulates and thus conserves a circle.

Product Description: One of the open challenges in fundamental physics is to combine Einstein's theory of general relativity with the principles of quantum mechancis. In this thesis, the question is raised whether metric quantum gravity could be fundamental in the spirit of Steven Weinberg's seminal asymptotic safety conjecture, and if so, what are the consequences for the physics of small, possibly Planck-size black holes? To address the first question, new techniques are provided which allow, for the first time, a self-consistent study of high-order polynomial actions including up to 34 powers in the Ricci scalar...read more

Product Description: In this book, leading theorists present new contributions and reviews addressing longstanding challenges and ongoing progress in spacetime physics.In the anniversary year of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, developed 100 years ago, this collection reflects the subsequent and continuing fruitful development of spacetime theories...read more

Product Description: This book is based upon lectures presented in June 2007 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati School on "Attractor Mechanism", directed by Stefano Bellucci. The symposium included such prestigious lecturers as S. Ferrara, M...read more
