The birth of the Universe and its subsequent evolution is an exciting blend of Cosmology Particle Physics and Thermodynamics. This book with its synoptic approach provides an accessible introduction to these fascinating topics. It begins in Part I with an overview of cosmology and is followed by a discussion on the present understanding about the birth of the universe detailing the Planck Era Inflation and the Big Bang. It speculates the possibility of multiple universes. Before moving on to explore the essentials of the Standard Model of Particle Physics in Part II with particular stress on the electroweak force the first example of acquisition of mass by gauge bosons via the Higgs mechanism. The book finishes in Part III with the thermal history of the Universe.

Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

This book stresses the interrelatedness of knowledge by extricating models that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. For example science can find models from the technology and semantic field of music music can find its models from the technology and semantic field of science and each domain may be guided by a philosophical or metaphysical principle - thus the title of the book. But the book itself is structured as a mirror image of its title. Chapters 1-6 provide instances of the role of music in such domains as epistemology and logic as well as in the early modern sciences of developmental biology continuum mechanics anatomy and physiological psychology whereas Chapters 7-10 provide instances of what some other domains of knowledge have given back to the philosophy and theory of music. | Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe

The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe

The book unifies quantum theory and the general theory of relativity. As an unsolved problem for about 100 years and influencing so many fields this is probably of some importance to the scientific community. Examples like Higgs field limit to classical Dirac and Klein–Gordon or Schrödinger cases quantized Schwarzschild Kerr Kerr–Newman objects and the photon are considered for illustration. An interesting explanation for the asymmetry of matter and antimatter in the early universe was found while quantizing the Schwarzschild metric. | The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe

Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! The typical introduction to physics leaves readers with the impression that physics is about 30 different unconnected topics such as motion forces gravity electricity light heat energy and atoms. More often than not these readers are left to conclude that physics is mostly about boring lifeless numbers. Questioning the Universe: Concepts in Physics offers the nonscientist an alternative view: one that demonstrates how physics is perpetually evolving and shows how so many seemingly diverse concepts are intimately connected. In fact one could argue that the most important ideas in modern physics are all about unification and that these ideas are as fascinating as they are elegant. Physicists today believe that Mother Nature is remarkably efficient and requires only a relatively small number of laws to keep her universe in working order. We may not yet know all of these laws; but at the center of physics is a faith that she is indeed understandableand that someday we will see her full beauty. The purpose of this book is to tell readers the story of what we have learned about nature so far and how we have done it. Written to arouse curiosity this compelling and readable work: Delves into the most basic laws regarding motion and energy waves and particles Introduces modern theories including relativity quantum mechanics and particle physics Describes the key role played by that elemental building block the atom Discusses the evolution of the universe including the formation of stars and the mystery of dark matter and dark energy This book is not for those doing physics but is aimed at those who simply want to learn about physics so it requires only the most minimal math.

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science
