Physics Theory

This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines. As real Artificial Intelligence (AI) begins to touch on all aspects of our lives, this long narrative history shapes how the technology is developed, deployed, and regulated. It is therefore a crucial social and ethical issue. Part I of this book provides a historical overview from ancient Greece to the start of modernity. Part II focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries in which a greater density of narratives emerge alongside rapid developments in AI technology.

This audiobook’s content and entertaining style will appeal equally to science-fiction enthusiasts and scholars, including cognitive and neuroscientists, as well as philosophers of mind. It is a refreshing romp through the science and science fiction of consciousness.

With well over 200 episodes and a dozen seasons, The Big Bang Theory is one of America's favorite television series, bringing a new class of character to mainstream television: the science nerd. In spite of its evident popularity and influence in shaping public attitudes to science and scientists, there are relatively few books that explore the show's culture and social dimension. The Science of The Big Bang Theory looks behind the comedy scenes and scripts of this long-running and successful TV show.

Quantum physicist Matt Bronik is suffering from strange, violent seizures that medical science seems powerless to explain - much to the consternation of his wife, Brigid. Matt doesn't think these fits could be related to his research, which he has always described as benign and esoteric. That, it turns out, is not quite true: Matt has been prodding the mysteries of the quantum universe, with terrible repercussions for his health. And perhaps even for humanity as a whole.

El último discípulo de Stephen Hawking presenta los más recientes descubrimientos del astrofísico sobre el universo.

The "universe" refers to all "observable things", ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. A guide for an enjoyable visit to the universe, this small tome on fundamental physics, cosmology, Higgs bosons, time travel, and all that is unlike any other analogous book. Its scientific statements are correct or, at least, they coincide with the opinions held by the vast majority of experts. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure and things that we know that we do not know, or we do not understand.

How did we get here? All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants. In How Evolution Explains Everything About Life, leading biologists and New Scientist take you on a journey of a lifetime, exploring the questions of whether life is inevitable or a one-off fluke and how it got kick-started.

Algorithm Universe Model answers the questions that are not answered by the standard model. It is a specific math model, not just a theory. Among the answers it gives are the common features of all forces and their relationship to dimension, an explanation of the big bang, wave particle duality as an effect of particle pre-time change, black holes, gravity and dark energy, the correct definition of time and why it must be distinguished from change, among many others. This is an audiobook of Algorithm Universe Model, Audio Summary.

Skillfully translating complex scientific concepts into accessible, everyday terms, Safavy invites listeners to consider the arguments for and against universal determinism. How does the presence or absence of free will affect our lives and our decisions? If there is no free will, how would that change our approach to crucial moral and sociological issues? Do we have free will? If not, what is occurring when we make a decision and act on it? The answers lie in No-Choice Theory.

Embark on an extraordinary intellectual journey with "Beautiful Insights," a captivating compendium meticulously crafted by the cutting-edge capabilities of artificial intelligence. Explore the profound beauty and interconnectedness of first-year physics and mathematics and be transported beyond the boundaries of traditional textbooks. This innovative book takes you on a unique exploration of the fundamental principles that shape our understanding of the universe.

As a young boy, Jack is sent to deliver a set of pictures to a house on Princeton's Mercer Street. The house is quite ordinary, but the man who lives there is not. Far from it. It is Albert Einstein, perhaps the smartest man in the world. The man that bent space and warped time. The first chance meeting leads to an unexpected friendship. Jack becomes a regular visitor to the famous professor's home. Together they set out on a journey that explores the professor's ideas about space, time, and gravity.

Shocking answers to the world's most baffling questions. Finally, an entertaining, easy-to-listen-to explanation of the great mysteries and how the universe really works. Why Theory. If you don't know why, you don't know anything. Einstein was right, Niels Bohr was wrong, after all. Be smarter than Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, Nicola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and everyone you know.

The question of man’s place in the extended universe has been pondered by every known culture since the beginning of recorded history. Lacking the means to prove otherwise, discussions of an alternative to Earth’s solitary existence have remained conceptual. The ongoing debate is spurred by the appearance of unexplainable phenomena through the centuries in the atmosphere and the space beyond, so much so that contact with alien civilizations has been depicted in some of the most ancient examples of representational art.

Do we really understand what gravity is? Taouil continues where Einstein left off, expanding on the theory of general relativity in a ground-breaking new concept about gravity and what it really is. His ideas are profound, and the implications can change the world of physics. The audiobook is easy to hear, and gives a step-by-step historical background to the science behind his observations that is both powerful and fascinating.

Partendo da fenomeni elementari viene studiata la teoria della relatività generale di Einstein, unitamente al principio di Galilei sulla caduta libera dei gravi che ne è il presupposto. Il principio di Galilei prevede che tutti i corpi, prescindendo dalla loro massa, cadano con la stessa accelerazione di gravità. Invece, si constata la non vigenza di tale principio di Galilei non essendo detratta la massa del corpo di prova da quella della terra (ritenuta erroneamente costante), inoltre per non essere valutata la mutua attrazione reciproca dei corpi (sovrapposizione degli effetti).

What do you know about traveling through time and space? Are you keen to learn about it? This book will tell you about space and time and it will explain vital terms in a simple yet factual way that does not blind the listener with science. It will tell you about the vitally important topics of the solar system, flight, and light. It will introduce you to the fascinating topics of black holes, dark matter, and wormholes, which are so important to anyone with an interest in space and time.

This book explores the fascinating world of string theory and quantum physics from a kid’s perspective. Originally published as an interactive text, it soon became an international best seller on Apple’s iBooks store and has been number one in the category of string theory on iTunes for the past two years.

For centuries, Newton's doctrine of the attraction of gravitation had been the most prominent example of a theory of natural science. However, as with many successful theories, there were some anomalies it could not explain. In his attempts to address these problems, Einstein developed a radical and equally influential theory, that of relativity. This essay is a classic exposition of the basic elements of Einstein's theory by his Dutch colleague, Professor H.A. Lorentz.
