Book excerpt: At long last, with sufficient technical details, emphasizing key historical moments, a book that develops all of fundamental modern theoretical physics from energy considerations in a compact form. Starting with a few electron-volts of atoms in the quantum world at low energies extending up to quantum gravity and beyond to the birth of the Universe, readers will experience the entire spectrum of fundamental modern theoretical physics, with one theory leading to another in an integrated unified manner. Energy considerations lead to the development of special and general relativity, quantum field theory, renormalization theory, modern quantum electrodynamics, electro-weak theory, the standard model of particle physics, grand unified theories, string theory, the current standard model of inflationary big bang theory, and even to the birth of the Higgs field, and in developments of quantum gravity. Unfortunately, due to strong specialization within theirfields, students and many practicing physicists are exposed only to parts of the beautiful story of modern fundamental physics. Here the entire story is told! This is a must-read book for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, instructors and professionals who are interested in all aspects of fundamental modern theoretical physics and key historical moments in its development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of quantum mechanics continues to appear arbitrary and abstruse to new students; and to many veterans, it has become acceptable and useable only because it is familiar. Yet, this theory is at the basis of all modern physics, chem istry, and engineering, describing, as it does, the behavior of the submicroscopic particles making up all matter. So it needs to be presented more effectively to a diverse audience. The primary question is, I believe, 'What can be considered self-evident?' Indeed, what do certain key experiments reveal about the workings of nature? How can we consider that some probabilities are not a result of our ignorance, but instead, fundamental properties? We must pay particular attention to the subject of what we can do, what we cannot do, and what we can and cannot observe. We can prepare a homogeneous beam of almost independent particles by boiling electrons out of a metal and accelerating them by a given potential drop. We cannot follow an electron in dividually in the beam without introducing conditions that destroy the beam's homogeneity, but we can detennine when electrons arrive at a given position.

Book excerpt: This volume contains a portion of the presentations given at the session on High Energy Physics and Astro physics of Orbis Scientiae II, held at the Center for Theoretical Studies, University of Miami, from January 20 through January 24, 1975. This, second in the new series of meetings held at the CTS, strove to implement the goals professed in the organization of Orbis Scientiae in 1974, namely to encourage scientists in several disciplines to exchange views, not only with colleagues who share similar research interests, but also to acquaint scientists in other fields with the leading ideas and current results in each area repre sented. Thus, an effort has been made to include papers in each session that discuss fundamental issues in a way which is comprehensible to scientists who are specialists in other areas. Also in keeping with the philosophy of Orbis Scientiae, the major topics each year are to be varied, with the invariant being the inclusion of developments in fundamental physics. The discussions of the current state of the art in high energy physics represented in this volume include new theories and experiments in the field. v PREFACE Special gratitude is due to the following for their contributions as organizers and moderators of the ses sions on high energy physics and astrophysics: Abdus Salam, Jogesh Pati, Karl Strauch, O. W. Greenberg, Sheldon Glashow, George Sudarshan and W. John Cocke. The editors wish to express their appreciation to Mrs. Helga Billings and Mrs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics at the beginning of the twenty-first century has reached new levels of accomplishment and impact in a society and nation that are changing rapidly. Accomplishments have led us into the information age and fueled broad technological and economic development. The pace of discovery is quickening and stronger links with other fields such as the biological sciences are being developed. The intellectual reach has never been greater, and the questions being asked are more ambitious than ever before. Physics in a New Era is the final report of the NRC's six-volume decadal physics survey. The book reviews the frontiers of physics research, examines the role of physics in our society, and makes recommendations designed to strengthen physics and its ability to serve important needs such as national security, the economy, information technology, and education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current mainstream theories of physics, the Standard Model of particle physics and the General Theory of Relativity, are incompatible due to the different mechanisms that they offer as explanations of fundamental energy interactions. This is considered the main problem for unifying them into a 'theory of everything.' Unfortunately, the problems are not limited to this issue. Both theories contain arbitrary variables and constants that do not have any physical meaning and are fitted to the results of experimental tests every time the predictions fail. Moreover, the equations lead to infinities that are hidden by mathematical tricks to adjust the solutions to reality. Many physicists consider this internal inconsistency to be a sign of the mathematical ingenuity of the models. However, the sad truth is that the descriptive and explanatory basis of the models is a muddle and the predictive power is zero. Thus, they are practically useless. On top of this, both postulate the existence of virtual entities responsible for observable physical interactions. This means that the models have become metaphysical belief systems. Some physicists dare to correctly call the situation the fall of theoretical physics as a science. To see it rise, we need an alternative path. In the second volume, the author continues to build the Theory of Energy Harmony based on the model of the universal mechanism proposed in the first part of the study. This mechanism underlies all fundamental interactions and can be called a unifying physical principle. The model does not use any virtual "ghosts" or arbitrary postulated parameters. It is self-consistent and adequate to reality. It contains only empirically verifiable assumptions and predictions. This is a paradigm shift that takes us back to physics.
