Quantum Physics

Lighthearted, quirky, and upbeat, this book explores the portrayal of science and technology on both the big and little screen - and how Hollywood is actually doing a better job of getting it right than ever before. Grounded in the real-word, and often cutting-edge, science and technology that inspires fictional science, the authors survey Hollywood depictions of topics such as quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and alien worlds.

The discovery of quantum mechanics has paved the way to just about every important innovation in the last half century: it has led us to the technology that powers microwaves, iPhones, and self-driving cars and is about to trigger a computing revolution that will either spell the end of the human species or propel us to heights we've never imagined. But there's another reason that quantum mechanics is so important: it is really the only way we can understand ourselves and each other.

Award-winning author Pat Murphy takes us aboard a luxury cruise ship and into the strange confluence of time and space known as the Bermuda Triangle, in an engaging science-fiction romp that recalls the work of Kate Wilhelm.

In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a 27-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity - a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics - to create a simple model of the Universe. Loop quantum cosmology was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of relativity had failed to do - illuminate the very birth of the Universe.

You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how to influence people, and not one of them could be made without the essential component of emotion. It has long been held that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behaviour. But as best-selling author Leonard Mlodinow tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience have proven that emotions are as critical to our well-being as thinking.

Over 100 quotations from the top thinkers in physics, including: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”– Albert Einstein “Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.”– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi “Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”– Werner Heisenberg “The ‘paradox’ is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality ‘ought to be.’ ”– Richard Feynman “If you start any large theory, such as quantum ...

In "The Multiverse and the Fabric of Reality," physicist and philosopher Iman Nasser takes readers on a mind-bending journey through the concept of everything happening in every universe. From the theoretical background of the multiverse to the implications for philosophy, society, and life itself, Nasser offers a comprehensive exploration of this fascinating and thought-provoking idea. Beginning with an explanation of the concept and a brief history of its development, Nasser dives into the theoretical background of the multiverse, including the possibility of multiple universes according ...

At the two four-kilometre long LIGO observatories in the US, scientists developed incredibly sensitive detectors, capable of spotting a movement 100 times smaller than the nucleus of an atom. In 2015, they spotted the ripples produced by two black holes spiralling into each other, setting spacetime quivering. This was the first time black holes had ever been directly detected, and it promises far more for the future of astronomy. Brian Clegg presents a compelling story of human technical endeavour and a powerful new path to understand the workings of the universe.

Time-travel between multiple universes! According to quantum mechanics, it is possible! This fun, fantastic, devotional is a faith-building journey into understanding the mysteries of The Bible. The writers of The Bible described God’s activities in the affairs of humans by recording stories of what happened. We call them miracles. Then in the twentieth century, human development had progressed to the point of attempting to explain them. We discovered that even the scientific methods we use in explanation – cannot be explained either! This book brings those ideas together, offering an ...

Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize-winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their observations. They had found the key to unravelling the story of the Big Bang and the origin of our universe. That signal was the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the Big Bang.

How does Einstein’s description of space and time compare with Doctor Who? Can James Bond really escape from an armor-plated railroad car by cutting through the floor with a laser concealed in a wristwatch? What would it take to create a fully intelligent android, such as Star Trek’s Commander Data? Exploring Science Through Science Fiction addresses these and other intriguing questions, using science fiction as a springboard for discussing fundamental science concepts and cutting-edge science research.

In this condensed version of It’s All Light: Juicy Science Meets Spirituality Without Religion, the focus is on the explanation of spirituality. After an intense spiritual healing experience while studying science, the author set out on a quest to explain what she witnessed. Seventeen years of research later, the trilogy of It's All Light was born.

Recent scientific discoveries in quantum physics and relativity theory leave no doubt that nonlocality is a basic feature of physical reality. In addition, numerous phenomena such as ESP, out-of-body and near-death experiences, as well as mental states affecting physiological changes indicate that mind is nonlocal and cannot be equated with the brain. Nonlocality in the physical and mental realms negates the materialistic worldview but is entirely consistent with the spiritual worldview. The spiritual worldview is a top-down ontology—it begins and ends with Consciousness and considers ...

We look into the depths of Albert Einstein's groundbreaking theories and lasting legacy in this enlightening look at his huge contributions to science. Einstein's work laid the groundwork for modern physics. His groundbreaking ideas in Relativity changed the way we think about space, time, and gravity. His Photon Theory of Light was also a key part of the early development of Quantum Mechanics.

Mystics and sages have long maintained that everything in the universe is connected and have identified consciousness as the unifying ground substance of creation. Recent discoveries in quantum physics are consistent with this worldview leading several of the “founding fathers” of quantum mechanics to embrace the concept of oneness—the Unity Principle. Modern scientific observations from the behavioral studies indicate that mind cannot be equated with brain. Hence, a new model of reality is needed that integrates modern scientific observations with the metaphysics of unity. This new ...
