  • Cosmology, Gravitational Waves and Particles
    HARALD FRITZSCH
     In February 2016, physicists announced the breakthrough discovery of the gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein in his century-old theory of General Relativity. These gravitational waves were emitted as a result of the collision of two massive black holes that happened about 1.3 billion years ago. They were discovered at the Laser Interferometer Gravitati...

  • The Guru of Gravity
    Rote Writer
    If a child asks if I believe in God, I answer, I don’t know. But I know how gravity created the universe. It all began with a big bang. Gravity held all matter which can neither be created nor destroyed only redeployed like ice, water and steam; into a singular event. Like an atomic explosion, the heat from the pressure of the gravity reached its boiling point like a popped cor...

  • The Meaning of Relativity
    Albert Einstein
    While many have written on relativity, this book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. Einstein has a particular authority. He presents the facts but also exposes the thought processes that led him to them. ...

  • Free and Interacting Quantum Fields
    DANIEL RADU / DORIAN TATOMIR / Ioan Merches
     Modern physics is characterized by two great theories, which make it fundamentally different from its predecessor: quantum theory and theory of relativity. In this book we want to bring to the reader's attention several solutions to problems connected to the quantum-relativistic interaction of particles. Remarkably, such solutions furnished rigorous and pertinent explanati...

  • Proofs that Life is Cosmic
    Chandra Wickramasinghe
    This is a revisit of a radical theory of cometary panspermia and cosmic life that was first proposed by Chandra Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle in 1982. In its earliest form the theory of cosmic life started off as a speculation in 1974 after the first discovery of complex organic molecules and polymeric dust in interstellar space. The speculation soon developed into...

  • Origin and Evolution of Comets
    Hans Rickman
    Since several decades, comets have been considered as key witnesses of solar system formation. Their nature has been explored using the modern arsenal of Earth- and space-based observations, and they hold a central place as dynamical arbiters of the planetary system in the new paradigm of solar system evolution known as the Nice Model. Thus, they have the potential to test the ...
