9,116円 This book focuses on one mechanism in black hole physics which has proven to be universal, multifaceted and with a rich phenomenology: rotational superradiance. This is an energy extraction process, whereby black holes can deposit their rotational energy in their surroundings, leading to Penrose ...

562円 Physics is already a difficult subject to tackle for adults; what more if it were taught to children? The key is to use interesting materials that contain age-appropriate lessons. This is one of those books. It discusses the basics of physics using layman’s terms for easy understanding and retent...

562円 Do you know the famous story of how Isaac Newton discovered gravity? We're going to use the same concept to teach the little ones about Newton’s discovery. Since we are teaching young minds, it is very important that we break down complex information into bits and pieces that are easily understoo...

1,050円 Based on the eight-part video series of the same name, funded by the National Science Foundation and MathWorks, "LIGO: A Discovery That Shook the World" tells the inside story of the discovery of gravitational waves and the concurrent discoveries of colliding black holes and colliding neutron sta...

16,918円 Satellite Gravimetry and the Solid Earth: Mathematical Foundations presents the theories behind satellite gravimetry data and their connections to solid Earth. It covers the theory of satellite gravimetry and data analysis, presenting it in a way that is accessible across geophysical disciplines....

21,094円 The development of a successful theory of quantum gravity in the context of the early universe is the key next step in theoretical physics. This book takes that step by describing a coherent mathematical framework for both the evolution of discrete space–time and the quantum graviton in the Planc...

14,585円 This volume offers an integrated understanding of how the theory of general relativity gained momentum after Einstein had formulated it in 1915. Chapters focus on the early reception of the theory in physics and philosophy and on the systematic questions that emerged shortly after Einstein's mome...

3,645円 Starting out from humankind's earliest ideas about the cosmos, this book gives the reader a clear overview of our current understanding of the universe, including big bang theories and the formation of stars and galaxies, as well as addressing open questions. The author shows how our present view...

5,970円 An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational waves In 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational wavesーripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large massesーas part of the theory of general relativity. A century la...

17,016円 This book is a tribute to the scientific legacy of GianCarlo Ghirardi, who was one of the most influential scientists in the field of modern foundations of quantum theory. In this appraisal, contributions from friends, collaborators and colleagues reflect the influence of his world of thoughts on...

8,507円 Cosmology and astroparticle physics have seen an avalanche of discoveries in the past decade (IceCube - high energy neutrinos, LIGO - gravitational waves, Fermi- gamma-ray telescope, Xenon-1T - dark matter detection, PLANCK- cosmic microwave radiation, EHT picture of black hole, SDSS -galaxy surv...

8,507円 This book provides an in-depth and accessible description of special relativity and quantum mechanics which together form the foundation of 21st century physics. A novel aspect is that symmetry is given its rightful prominence as an integral part of this foundation. The book offers not only a con...
