Description
For centuries, physics has been the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world. From classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, physics has given us the tools to describe and predict the behavior of everything around us. But as our knowledge of the universe grows, we are forced to confront the limits of our current understanding.In "Beyond the Quantum World," we take a journey through cutting-edge research that is expanding the boundaries...

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...

Este libro es un primer intento de presentar la mecánica cuántica relativista a aquellos interesados en la mecánica cuántica, pero sin conocimientos previos de ella. Actualmente, la mecánica cuántica relativista se considera un tema avanzado al que sólo pueden acceder aquellos que ya han recibido una formación considerable en mecánica cuántica no relativista. Sin embargo, los autores creen haber encontrado un excelente enfoque pedagógico...

Basic physics, also known as classical physics, encompasses the fundamental principles that describe the behavior of macroscopic objects in our everyday world. This branch includes classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, covering topics like motion, forces, electricity, magnetism, heat, and fluid dynamics. In contrast, advanced physics goes into the more intricate and abstract realms of the universe. It includes theories such

A cohesive theory of everything from quantum physics and gravity to black holes and inertia. The theory hinges upon the existence of a single oscillating particle and the scalable forces created by the mass it governs. This hypothesis suggests that light and electromagnetism are the flow of a bipolar pair of these particles in resonance; while electrons and photons are discreet groups of this charge. Using this theory, everything is explicable, from...

On July 4, 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva madehistory 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...
