Entropy is one of the most interesting concepts in physics. Although a well-defined concept, it is still frequently perceived as one cloaked in mystery. This book, however, discusses entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics in such a way that everyone can understand them.
This textbook is a unique treatise on the present status of particle physics summarised for physics students at an introductory level: it provides insights into essential experimental and theoretical techniques and will gradually deepen the reader’s understanding of the field.
The “Ultraviolet Catastrophe”, the failure to account for black-body radiation, led to quantum mechanics. Another catastrophe was politely ignored and fluid dynamics remained trapped in the nineteenth century. The book outlines a solution to this dilemma.
The General Theory of Particle Mechanics
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
Fundamental Optics
This book updates our knowledge of light with new data from reproducible experiments. It presents a new theory which interprets verifiable information according to the various speeds of the lights involved, examining light’s general motions in space.
The muon is vital to particle, nuclear, and atomic physics, and a key component of the Standard Model. Muonic processes provide crucial information on the weak interaction. This book explores the various aspects of muon physics, highlighting the most recent experiments conducted.
This book presents a theoretical description of fiber Bragg gratings, focusing on channel densification and tunability. It includes full Matlab code to synthesize and optimize various gratings using genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and tabu search.
Entropy generation minimization is widely used in thermal problems, sometimes as a unified theory. Is this really the case? This book answers this question, showing the theory has limitations and a definite application scope, beyond which it may provide incorrect results.
The unique experiments, numerous measurements, and resulting data presented here, have been collected over 30 years of research and prove with scientific precision, that consciousness involves more than just the brain, but actually depends on the very fabric of the universe.
This book discusses the basic tools of mathematical physics for physicists, mathematicians, and engineers. It reveals the indissoluble connection between physical ideas and mathematical concepts, emphasizing the physical origin and flexibility of the equations.
This book proposes a model of light knot electronic structure, challenging the interpretation of quantum entanglement and proving a paradox in the uncertainty relationship. It establishes the foundation for a deterministic, local-realism quantum mechanics.
This book investigates dynamical mass generation in four-fermion models, exploring the composite Higgs boson and effective chiral Lagrangians. It proves these models describe the region between asymptotic freedom and quark confinement.
Philosophical Semantics
This book offers an innovative systematic approach to meaning and reference, unifying insights from philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege while exposing errors of formalists from Quine to Kripke. It shows how the cartography of philosophy of language can be redrawn.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on magnetic and electric dipolar resonance. In addition to known results, it presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles, which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.
This book is a monograph on Albert Einstein’s odyssey to Special and General Relativity. Bringing together recent studies, it offers an in-depth analysis of the genesis of his theories, Einstein’s own derivations, and the philosophical perspectives of his work.
General Relativity Conflict and Rivalries
Galina Weinstein investigates Albert Einstein and his interactions with various scientists, focusing on their implicit and explicit responses to his work. This analysis reveals the central figures who influenced Einstein during his work on the general theory of relativity.
