1,730円 In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravityーa cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanicsーto create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmolog...

4,374円 Time's 'Man of the Century', Albert Einstein is the unquestioned founder of modern physics. His theory of relativity is the most important scientific idea of the modern era. In this short book Einstein explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of the theory...

8,507円 This reference textbook is an up-to-date and self-contained introduction to the theory of gravitational interactions. The first part of the book follows the traditional presentation of general relativity as a geometric theory of the macroscopic gravitational field. A second, advanced part then di...

1,023円 This is not a book on mysticism, or religious thought. The more one studies modern science the more one realises that the same themes run through Bereshis (Genesis). The order of creation from modern Science can be mirrored very closely to the order of creation in the Torah. As one studies Scien...

1,143円 Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged. Our own galaxy, the ...

1,344円 In a dazzling, lyrical mixture of science and philosophy, acclaimed science writer David Darling makes a provocative case for the workings of human consciousness, its origins, and its destiny when the next "Big Bang" precipitates a quantum leap in evolution. Equations of Eternity rethinks thought...

550円 M Theory Simplified. COULD YOUR DOUBLE live somewhere on another universe? Could you live a slightly different life at this very moment? Could another world truly exist? Experts believe there are so many things out there; more than our eyes can see. Have you ever heard the term parallel universe?...

17,365円 Cosmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have fascinated scientists and the public alike since their discovery in the late 1960s. Their story is told here by some of the scientists who participated in their discovery and, after many decades of false starts, solved the problem of their origin. Fourteen chap...

503円 From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe by Alexandre Koyré "This is a study of the evolution of cosmology from antiquity to mid-20th century. Up to the renaissance the world was thought to be bounded by a distant but finite sphere, the empyrean heaven, beyond which must be the realm o...

3,230円 Answers to science's most enduring questions from "Can I break the light-speed barrier like on Star Trek?" and "Is there life on other planets?" to "What is empty space made of?" This is an indispensable guide to physics that offers readers an overview of the most popular physics topics written i...

14,807円 Quantum gravity is perhaps the most important open problem in fundamental physics. It is the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and spinfoam approach, presented in this 2004 book, is o...

450円 Advanced alien civilizations are now present in our galaxy. That's the message that the author sends out to readers in this interesting little book. The reasons why there has to be life elsewhere in the universe are explained, in fairly non technical words, so that most any reader can understand....
