Description
Some efforts have been made to prove negative mass behavior through some experiments performed in mechanics, and other disciplines as well as some theories in electrostatics, but I haven't found research about similar effects at the atomic level, where the most elementary mass given by the atomic nucleus is to be found.Is the second Newton's law still valid with negative mass?What could happen if we make the atom behave in a negative mass regime?Is...

When the fuzzy indeterminacy of quantum mechanics overthrew the orderly world of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger were at the forefront of the revolution. Neither man was ever satisfied with the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, however, and both rebelled against what they considered the most preposterous aspect of quantum mechanics: its randomness. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe,...

A Nobel-prize winning physicist takes on the essential question: what are we made of?
Our understanding of nature's deepest reality has changed radically, but almost without our noticing, over the past twenty-five years. Transcending the clash of older ideas about matter and space, acclaimed physicist Frank Wilczek explains a remarkable new discovery: matter is built from almost weightless units, and pure energy is the ultimate source of mass. He...

Los descubrimientos de Niels Bohr en el campo de la teoría cuántica llevaron a avances monumentales en la física y en nuestra comprensión de la estructura atómica. Bohr ganó el premio Nobel por su labor en 1922 y sus ideas, aún hoy, siguen impulsando a la física hacia nuevos descubrimientos.
¿Pero qué es la teoría cuántica? La mayoría de nosotros no entendemos ni los conceptos más básicos aunque en ella reside la clave para comprender...

This book deals concisely with all the theories of contemporary physics, from relativity (restricted and general) to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, via nuclear and particle physics. In addition, the rudiments of plasma physics, solid state physics, semiconductor physics, and group theory are exposed.The approach of this textbook is to deal directly with the mathematical formalism and to present the main equations of each theory, explaining...

In this book, we analyze, from a self-taught perspective, the question, "Will there be a fundamental theory of the laws that govern the world we live in?" Shrouded in extreme abstraction embodied in self-described gobbledygook, accessible only to a trained practitioner, modern physics can seem like a capricious subject. Nevertheless, with perseverance, at least a rudimentary understanding of modern physics is available to the uninitiated spectator....

The story of the unlikely friendship between the two physicists who fundamentally recast the notion of time and history.
In 1939, Richard Feynman, a brilliant graduate of MIT, arrived in John Wheeler's Princeton office to report for duty as his teaching assistant. A lifelong friendship and enormously productive collaboration was born, despite sharp differences in personality. The soft-spoken Wheeler, though conservative in appearance, was a raging...

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, genauer gesagt Jahrhunderten, wurde viel von "Phänomenen", "Mysterien" oder "Weltenrätseln" gesprochen. Bereits seit Jahrhunderten wird die Welt von Spukerscheinungen heimgesucht, und seit jeher fragt sich der Mensch, ob es ein Weiterleben nach dem Tod gibt und ob die Seele eine gewisse Zeit nach dem Tod wieder auf die Erde zurückkehren müsse.
Seit Plato die Behauptung aufstellte, dass es in unserer Vorzeit im Atlantischen...

Two leading physicists discuss the importance of the Higgs Boson, the future of particle physics, and the mysteries of the universe yet to be unraveled.
On July 4, 2012, the long-sought Higgs Boson-aka "the God Particle"-was discovered at the world's largest particle accelerator, the LHC, in Geneva, Switzerland. On March 14, 2013, physicists at CERN confirmed it. This elusive subatomic particle forms a field that permeates the entire universe, creating...

The aim of this book is to provide a more efficient way to calculate and predict orbits and trajectories, not only for celestial bodies, but also for artificial satellites we send outside our atmosphere, and for ballistic. The equations presented here might also help improve weather forecasts and perhaps predict atmospheric behavior more precisely. Nowadays, we know that gravity is an electromagnetic (EM) wave of atomic origin caused by a kind of...
