Description
James Owen Weatherall's previous book, The Physics of Wall Street, was a New York Times best-seller and named one of Physics Today's five most intriguing books of 2013. In his newest volume, he takes on a fundamental concept of modern physics: nothing. The physics of stuff--protons, neutrons, electrons, and even quarks and gluons--is at least somewhat familiar to most of us. But what about the physics of nothing? Isaac Newton thought of empty space...

In this book, we analyze, from a self-taught perspective, the question, "Will there be a fundamental theory of the laws that govern the world we live in?" Shrouded in extreme abstraction embodied in self-described gobbledygook, accessible only to a trained practitioner, modern physics can seem like a capricious subject. Nevertheless, with perseverance, at least a rudimentary understanding of modern physics is available to the uninitiated spectator....

This book deals concisely with all the theories of contemporary physics, from relativity (restricted and general) to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, via nuclear and particle physics. In addition, the rudiments of plasma physics, solid state physics, semiconductor physics, and group theory are exposed.The approach of this textbook is to deal directly with the mathematical formalism and to present the main equations of each theory, explaining...

On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva madehistory when they discovered an entirely new type of subatomic particle that many scientists believe is the Higgs boson. For forty years, physicists searched for this capstone to the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes both the most elementary components that are known in matter and the forces through which they interact. This particle points to

Physicist Stephen M. Barr's lucid Student's Guide to Natural Science aims to give students an understanding, in broad outline, of the nature, history, and great ideas of natural science from ancient times to the present, with a primary focus on physics. Barr begins with the contributions of the ancient Greeks, in particular the two great ideas that reality can be understood by the systematic use of reason and that phenomena have natural explanations....

Hurlburt Effect depicts the effect of total mass of unobservable space on quantum levels and radiation of the astrophysics big bang hole on the unobservable universe and the localized, observable big bang and observable universe. There were major shifts in mass and density of the structures of the earlier, larger unobservable universe with the unobservable universe's later, smaller big bang. The most surrounding space is the big bang hole which caused...
