Classical Mechanics: Volume 1
Any education in theoretical physics begins with the laws of classical mechanics. The basics of the subject were laid down long ago by Galileo and Newton and are enshrined in the famous equation F=ma that we all learn in school. But there is much more to the subject and, in the intervening centuries, the laws of classical mechanics were reformulated to emphasis deeper concepts such as energy, symmetry, and action. This textbook describes these different approaches to classical mechanics, starting with Newton's laws before turning to subsequent developments such as the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. The book emphasises Noether's profound insights into symmetries and conservation laws, as well as Einstein's vision of spacetime, encapsulated in the theory of special relativity. Classical mechanics is not the last word on theoretical physics. But it is the foundation for all that follows. The purpose of this book is to provide this foundation.
Smart Materials for Energy Storage and Biomedical Applications
Exploring the Electronic, Magnetic, Optical and Thermoelectric
The study investigates the structural, magnetic, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of MST (half-semi metallic) compound under strain engineering. Experimentally, MST is metallic nature with zero gap, low thermal conductivity, and minute thermoelectric efficiency (ZT 0.01 at 300K). By applying biaxial strain (tensile and compressive), the gap increased, showing a shift from -4% to +15% with SCF and -3% to +10% with GGA and GGA + TB-mBJ methods. At 4% tensile strain, MST exhibited half-semi metallic behavior with a significant gap (1.24 eV) at a high-symmetry point. Hybrid + SOC calculations showed enhanced thermoelectric performance, with ZT reaching 0.716 for p-type and 0.723 for n-type, suggesting MST potential for thermoelectric applications.
Mother Hubble's Cupboard and Other Poems About Inner and Outer Space
Reading Mother Hubble's Cupboard by Sandra Lindow is like sitting in the overlap of a dozen different planet's busy orbits watching them whizz by, except instead of planets they are physics, ecology, sensuality, folklore, and more. Oh, and also sometimes planets. The first section casts the Hubble Telescope as the titular Mother Hubble, and more than just a tool she's a character, a photographer documenting the mysteries of space with an artist's eye. The poetry balances the desire to look up and out and understand with the impulse look back towards the past to name and emotionally process our place in the universe - for example, the Royal Astronomy's Society nickname of the Unicorn Black Hole, not to mention dwarf stars, universal soup, universal trees and even metaphors new to Lindow's collection, like the universe as a Russian Matreshka doll. And as much as the book wanders far beyond our planet and our solar system and even further, Lindow still remembers to bring us home occasionally. As she says, "the great blue beast you ride...She's all you have. Ride/gently." -Amelia Gorman, Field Guide to Invasive Species of Minnesota

New Euclidon Method of Generating Stationary Vacuum Einstein
The purpose of this book is to systematically derive, as much as possible, the main exact asymptotically flat solutions of the static and stationary axially symmetric vacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations. The primary "building block" used is the Euclidon solution, which has a clear physical interpretation as a relativistic accelerated non-inertial reference frame in the flat space-time.In the first part, static Einstein fields are considered. The one-static Euclidon solution and its generalizations are obtained by various methods.The second part deals with the main classes of stationary vacuum Einstein field solutions. The one-stationary soliton solution, the one-stationary Euclidon solution, and its physical interpretation are obtained.In the third part, using the method of variation of parameters, solutions are obtained including a two-Euclidon stationary solution, which coincides with the Kerr-NUT solution.The fourth part deals with the main classes of static Einstein-Maxwell fields. The methods of superposition of the one-stationary Euclidon solution, the one-stationary soliton solution, and the two-Euclidon stationary solution with arbitrary external static electrovacuum fields are also applied to this case.The fifth part deals with stationary Einstein-Maxwell fields. The generalized solutions are constructed using symmetry transformations from the previously found solutions.

Matter-Dimensions Symmetry
To make a better parallel between quantum entanglement and Young's double-slit interferometer (or Young's interferences) we find the matter-dimension symmetry which says that in 3 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi.x簡 = Mplanck, . .., in 5 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi3.x⁴ = Mplanck3 and in n dimensions: m^(n-2).x^(n-1) = h^((n-2 )/2)*C^((n-2)/2)/G^((n-2)/2), with Mplanck^d = h^(d/2)*C^(d/2)/G^(d/2). A magnetically Arrested Disks should prevent the formation of jets via an accretion disk. But particles as small as neutrinos come out of an accretion disk and function after the transformation of their initial mass mi: mi → x.mi as matter (transformed matter) source of jets. In a dense plasma, such as that present in the hearts of stars, the number of neutrinos emitted per kilogram of matter can be of the order of 10⊃1;⁸ to 10⊃2;⁰ neutrinos per second, while on average, a kilogram of matter emits approximately 3 x 10⊃1;⁰ neutrinos per second, and with black holes core edge we reach 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹ more neutrinos emitted (10⊃2;⁰ x 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹) to produce-transform x.m_anti-neutrino = 5.704892367906067*10^-34 kg (x>=10⊃2;⁰) from matter-dimension symmetry process.

From Newton's Second Law to the Decoding of Complex Fluctuations
This book introduces the latest results of interdisciplinary research on complex systems. Dr. He Zonglu obtained the nonlinear autoregressive integrated (NLARI) model for describing complex systems by mathematizing Newton's second law in stochastic systems. The NLARI model clarifies the generative mechanism and regulatory mechanism of complex systems (open systems, feedback loops, system evolution, randomness, nonlinearity, fractality and adaptability). In particular, nonlinear dynamical behavior and fractal behavior arise from the same physical integer-dimensional topological space, the former depending on the restoring and resisting forces within the system, and the latter as a product of fluctuations, which are the system's response to external perturbations. Self-adaptive functions are the product of maintaining stable fixed points through the resilience of Gaussian function component with the resistance. Separate complementary modeling of networks, emergence, spontaneous order, and self-organizing behavior. Applied results include SSCCPI circuits for efficient temporal signal propagation of high-intensity information in cortical networks, heart rate/heart rate variability for identifying heart disease and predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death, and optimal pathway for economic growth. This book demonstrates that the optimal way to increase profits at von Neumann equilibrium prices is achieved by a dynamic equilibrium-stabilizing fixed point formed by market competition, and that the ratio of average investment to economic resistance coefficient determines the rate of economic growth. NLARI model-based approach standardizes the research methodology in the field of complex systems. The methodology is highly interpretable, since all parameters are derived mathematically, have the same dynamical meaning and different physical meaning. The book details modeling, parameter estimation, statistical tests, algorithms, prediction, simulation, and interpretation of results and phenomena, and provides examples of applications in biology, network theory, medicine, and economics. This book is applicable to the study of complexity in a wide range of fields.

It's (Just) Rocket Science
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the fascinating physics behind space exploration.It's (Just) Rocket Science delivers on a bold promise: spaceflight isn't just for engineers or physicists. Science writer Trisha Muro introduces readers to the physics principles behind how rockets, satellites, and space telescopes reach their destinations by making the science behind these technological marvels both meaningful and accessible. Muro untangles the concepts and calculations that make space exploration possible. Addressing a handful of core topics--including motion, forces, waves, and energy--each section demonstrates how to see physics at work in easy-to-understand explanations. Chapters center on the challenges faced by real spaceflight missions, such as Voyager's deep space dispatches, the James Webb Space Telescope's distant perch beyond the Moon, and DART's asteroid-deflecting impact, while connecting the physics behind these missions to readers' daily lives. Muro introduces essential physics concepts and makes abstract principles tangible through true stories of human ingenuity and cosmic ambition. Covering topics such as orbits, gravity, momentum, light, and relativity, this book explains the surprising science behind familiar headlines, like: How do missions like Psyche use a gravitational slingshot to reach their destinations? Why does the Webb telescope orbit a million miles away from Earth? How do we land rovers like Perseverance safely on Mars? Whether readers are seasoned stargazers or hesitant explorers, It's (Just) Rocket Science invites you to see the science behind space exploration --and recognize how those missions connect back to us.
Reinventing Seti
For millennia, humanity has looked up at the sprawling tapestry of stars and wondered what lay beyond. With time, we learned that each star is not a pinprick point in a domed sky, but a massive plasma sphere so far away that the distance becomes incomprehensible to the human mind, measured in light years of millions and billions. This distance invokes crucial questions. Do we share the universe with other intelligent lifeforms? If so, how do we approach the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)? Lastly, do we need to examine our assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligence? Reinventing SETI clears out the cobwebs of outdated or wrongheaded SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI (i.e., proactively sending signals from Earth to putative aliens). It argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials (ETs) in a more effective manner. Author John Gertz states that ETs, as biological lifeforms themselves, cannot accomplish interstellar travel, but have instead placed robotic probes throughout the universe, perhaps even in our own Solar System. Gertz also warns that humankind is woefully unprepared for the day of First Contact with an alien probe right here in our own backyard. He suggests contingency planning, involving international cooperation as well as broad cross-disciplinary expertise. Humorous and deeply informative, this book takes the reader through the universe, conventional SETI methods, ideas on future ET exploration, and a discussion on who else shares this space.
Understanding Time and Space
Understanding Time and Space is an invitation to the theory of relativity for anyone who is now or has ever been an inquisitive high school student.Relativity can seem violently counterintuitive. It says that different observers can describe the world in very different ways and they can all be correct. It helps to be reminded that you've known this since childhood, when you learned that the direction you call left might be the same as the direction I call right, and we can both be correct. This book illuminates and demystifies the theory of relativity through repeated analogies to that kind of everyday experience. Dozens of drawings, analogous to the maps we all use to navigate through ordinary space, emphasize that relativity is a branch of geometry - the geometry of navigating through that more mysterious venue called spacetime.The reader is assisted by exercises sprinkled throughout, and by "dangerous curve" sections that identify and combat the most common misunderstandings.Steven Landsburg is a professor at the University of Rochester. He has published widely in mathematics, economics, physics and philosophy. His hobby is answering questions about relativity on the internet, which has taught him a lot about how to be helpful.
