Description
From V.E. Schwab, the critically acclaimed author of Vicious, comes a new universe of daring adventure, thrilling power, and parallel Londons, beginning with A Darker Shade of Magic. Kell is one of the last Travelers--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes--as such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where...

Description
A brilliantly diverting and mind-expanding guide to quantum and particle physics.
At the start of the twentieth century, our knowledge of science appeared complete and it seemed that the laws of nature were almost all discovered, but then we woke a sleeping giant—we discovered quantum mechanics. In the quantum realm, objects can be in two places at once. It's a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It's a place...

Scientist Patrick Boardman was assigned to the Einstein Project in 1956, which proved to take a lifetime in discovering the answers to Quantum Theory and melding Physics with Philosophy to present the Unified Field Solution. This book defines Energy and Infinity in a mathematical adjunct to Einstein's work. The Big Bang of creation is described in vivid detail to end the debate on how and why we came into existence, as will as the answer to which...

We may have lived knowing that the world around us operates in a way as if we observe them to be. This knowledge of how the universe operates, based primarily of our observations, has enabled us to predict actions and motions and allowed us to build machines and equipments that have made our lives easier and more enjoyable. The field that allowed us to do that is classical physics. The world, however, is advancing and our knowledge of how things are...

Theory of Quantum Physics provides a beginner's guide to this difficult and rarely understood area.
Quantum Physics. If you're not a scientist, then these two words fill you full of worry and anxiety. This is because Quantum Physics is not easily understood and is a mystery to most people. Quantum physics, along with the theory of relativity, is one of the two major revolutionary ideas that shook the world of physics to the core in the early 20th...

On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva made history when they discovered an entirely new type of subatomic particle that many scientists believe is the Higgs boson. For forty years, physicists searched for this capstone to the Standard Model of particle physics-the theory that describes both the most elementary components that are known in matter and the forces through which they interact. This particle points to the Higgs...

Todos hemos oído hablar de la física cuántica, aunque realmente no sepamos ni qué es ni para qué sirve. Hasta hace poco, ni siquiera los físicos parecían tenerlo demasiado claro.
En las últimas décadas se ha aprendido algo más, y ahora sabemos que la física cuántica no va de partícula y ondas, ni de "cosas que hacen cosas raras", sino que es una teoría sobre la propia información, sobre el espacio y el tiempo, sobre las relaciones...

This monograph introduces advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics to the "many-body" theory in theoretical physics. The treatment addresses problems and solutions related to nuclear and atomic physics, the electron theory of metals, and the theories of liquid helium three and four. A unified account of the field rather than a description of parallel methods, the text's main thematic approaches include the self-consistent field and...
