  • From QCD Flux Tubes to Gravitational S-matrix and Back

    by Victor Gorbenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis studies various aspects of non-critical strings both as an example of a non-trivial and solvable model of quantum gravity and as a consistent approximation to the confining flux tube in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It proposes and develops a new technique for calculating the finite volume spectrum of confining flux tubes. This technique is based on approximate integrability and it ... Read more

  • Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You

    A Guide to the Universe

    by Marcus Chown ...
    The two towering achievements of modern physics are quantum theory and Einstein's general theory of relativity. Together, they explain virtually everything about the world we live in. But, almost a century after their advent, most people haven't the slightest clue what either is about.Did you know that there's so much empty space inside matter that the entire human race could be squeezed into the ...

    Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

    by Lisa Randall ...
    A New York Times Notable Book: A particle physicist's "engaging and remarkably clear" look at the dimensions that may exist beyond the ones we know ( The New York Times Book Review).The universe has many secrets. It may hide additional dimensions of space other than the familiar three we recognize. There might even be another universe adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable . . . for now ... Read more

  • Three Roads To Quantum Gravity

    by Lee Smolin ...
    "It would be hard to imagine a better guide to this difficult subject." -- Scientific AmericanIn Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, Lee Smolin provides an accessible overview of the attempts to build a final "theory of everything." He explains in simple terms what scientists are talking about when they say the world is made from exotic entities such as loops, strings, and black holes and tells the ... Read more

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more

  • Gravity, Strings and Particles

    A Journey Into the Unknown

    by Maurizio Gasperini ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    New fundamental forces of Nature? New forms of "dark'' energy? Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this book – gravity, strings and particles – may provide answers to these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely: Besides time and ... Read more

  • Out of this World

    Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have ... Read more

  • Theory of Gravitational Interactions

    by Maurizio Gasperini ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This reference textbook is an up-to-date and self-contained introduction to the theory of gravitational interactions. The first part of the book follows the traditional presentation of general relativity as a geometric theory of the macroscopic gravitational field. A second, advanced part then discusses the deep analogies (and differences) between a geometric theory of gravity and the gauge ... Read more
