Physics Theory

A collection of essays that displays Oliver Sacks' passionate engagement with the most compelling and seminal ideas of human endeavor: evolution, creativity, memory, time, consciousness, and experience. The River of Consciousness is one of two books Sacks was working on up to his death, and it reveals his ability to make unexpected connections, his sheer joy in knowledge, and his unceasing, timeless project to understand what makes us human.

In the beginning was the Big Bang: an unimaginably hot fire almost fourteen billion years ago in which the first elements were forged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the Big Bang—was one of the most consequential developments in twentieth-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered: Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In An Infinity of Worlds, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe.

This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines. As real Artificial Intelligence (AI) begins to touch on all aspects of our lives, this long narrative history shapes how the technology is developed, deployed, and regulated. It is therefore a crucial social and ethical issue. Part I of this book provides a historical overview from ancient Greece to the start of modernity. Part II focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries in which a greater density of narratives emerge alongside rapid developments in AI technology.

Are we living in a simulation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk draws from research and concepts from computer science, artificial intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and ancient mystics to explain why we may be living inside a simulated reality like the Matrix. The Simulation Hypothesis is the definitive book on simulation theory and is now completely updated to reflect the latest developments in artificial intelligence and virtual reality.

The Scientific Worldview‚ presents a balanced perspective that has profound implications for the social as well as the physical sciences. Borchardt outlines the philosophical alternatives and selects those necessary for consistent thinking. The central concept of his philosophical system is univironmental determinism‚ a new, universal, mechanism of evolution founded on the simple proposition that whatever happens to a portion of the Infinite Universe is a result of the infinite variety of matter in motion within and without. Borchardt criticizes the 20th century "scientific world view,"...

Myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas dives deeply into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people's neat and tidy storybook version of reality. The book's argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives - and our societies - could be radically different. Offering an entirely new lens, Fluke explores how our world really works, driven by strange interactions and apparently random events.

Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory: A New Physics of Light, Gravity, and the Cosmos A Journey into the Structured Reality That Holds the Cosmos Together Step into a revolutionary new physics vision with the Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory. This spread book reimagines the fundamental nature of light, gravity, and the cosmos through structure and motion, challenging traditional ideas with a bold, mechanical framework. From the birth of light as a spinning Luxidoni on a straight thread to the formation of gravity through tension within thread structures, this book offers an intuitive, visual ...

Discover the Universe's Hidden Blueprint—A Radical New Theory of Light, Matter, and Cosmic Structure. Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory: The DNA of the Universe introduces a revolutionary scientific model that challenges the Big Bang, quantum paradoxes, and abstract physics. Instead, it presents a structured, mechanical explanation of how the universe works—from the birth of the first thread to the formation of galaxies and dense Black Cores. In this mind-opening journey, you will explore how continuous threads and spinning units of energy—Luxidoni—form the building blocks of light,...

The Life and Legacy of Jules Henri Poincaré A Master of Pattern Recognition, He Laid the Groundwork for Chaos Theory, Relativity, and More Step into the life of one of history’s most quietly transformative minds—Jules Henri Poincaré, the mathematician, physicist, philosopher, and polymath who bridged the old world of Newtonian mechanics and the modern age of chaos and relativity.

Threads and Spinons Light Theory: The End of the Identical Particles The Folding Uniqueness of Structure of Matter, Universe, and Energy What if the universe is not built from identical particles but from one continuous thread, endlessly folding into unique forms? In this groundbreaking continuation of the Threads and Spinons Light Theory series, inventor and independent theorist Samir Hanna Safar unravels the myth of particle sameness. The End of the Identical Particles reveals a revolutionary insight: no two protons, atoms, or photons are ever truly alike. Each is a uniquely folded ...

Did you know that there’s so much empty space inside matter that the entire human race could be squeezed into the volume of a sugar cube? Or that you grow old more quickly on the top floor of a building than on the ground floor? The two towering achievements of modern physics are quantum theory and Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But, almost a century after their advent, most people haven’t the slightest clue what either is about. Get set for the most entertaining science book of the year.

The beauty of fractal patterns and their relation to chaos, as well as the history of chaos, and its uses in the real world and implications for the philosophy of science are all discussed in this Very Short Introduction audiobook.

The first problem of man was to find his way about on the earth. Hence the art of measuring the earth (geodesy) became the source of the science of space, which derived its name geometry from the Greek word for earth. From the very outset, however, the measure of time arose from the regular changes of night and day, the phases of the moon, and the seasons. These phenomena forced themselves on mans attention and caused him to direct his gaze toward the stars, which were the source of the science of the universe, cosmology.

Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the big bang. But few of us understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the solar system, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She then moves out past nearby galaxies - and back in time - to the horizon of the observable universe, which contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each with billions of stars, many orbited by planets, some of which may host life.

How should we approach life and its challenges? Are they real? What do we really know about reality? Could modern physics help us to understand? What kind of worldview does it really shape for us? What is the connection between reality and consciousness? Do we live in a simulation? In this book Johanna Blomqvist, PhD is diving into the question of reality, a topic which has been of interest to her since childhood. The desire to understand the world, reality and the purpose of everything has also led her to the frontiers of science and to topics physicists do not often approach. Her first ...
