Planetary Habitability and Stellar Activity

Arnold Hanslmeier

The search for exoplanets and habitable objects in general is one of the fastest growing and most prominent fields in modern astrophysics. This book provides an overview on habitability on exoplanets. Habitability is strongly dependent on stellar activity. Therefore, space weather effects on objects in the solar system as well as on exoplanets are discussed.The concept of the b...

Physics of Buoyant Flows

Mahendra K Verma

Gravity pervades the whole universe; hence buoyancy drives fluids everywhere including those in the atmospheres and interiors of planets and stars. Prime examples of such flows are mantle convection, atmospheric flows, solar convection, dynamo process, heat exchangers, airships and hot air balloons. In this book we present fundamentals and applications of thermal convection and...

The Story of Antimatter

Guennadi Borissov

Each elementary particle contained within every known substance has an almost identical twin called its antiparticle. Existing data clearly indicate that equal numbers of particles and antiparticles were initially created soon after the birth of the universe. Despite this, all objects around us, as well as all the stars in all the known galaxies, are made of particles, while an...

Taking on Gravity

Richard W Miller

Miller says a number of years ago he asked himself the question, what would be less problematic: to take on the mainstream ideology, or to take on gravity? He decided to take on gravity. Oddly enough, his first draft was on the back of a pizza box. 'We don’t understand the true cause of gravity,' says Miller. 'For all we know, it may be hidden in plain sight.' Taking on Gravity...

The State of the Art of Neutrino Physics

Antonio Ereditato

The neutrino is the most fascinating elementary particle due to its elusive nature and outstanding properties that have attracted the interest of generations of physicists since 1930, when it was first postulated by Wolfgang Pauli as a "desperate remedy" to explain the apparent energy violation in the beta decay. Many fundamental discoveries in particle physics had the neutrin...

The Cause and Evolution of the Universe

John Auping

The work of Dr John Auping seeks to assist readers to differentiate observationally verified aspects of cosmology from ideas whose verification is distant, or perhaps impossible. Such a task is performed by using a careful application of the orthodox scientific method. This English edition is a part of Auping’s original work especially devoted to the description of the dynami...

Dark Energy Physics

Anthony William Green

In 2003 NASA published the first year data release of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Explaining the universe contains 96% more matter than we thought. The implications of this knowledge is profound, it undermines all the theories of the universe. How can any theory based on just 4% of the data be viable? A new theory of the universe was required based on 100% of the ...
