The Hidden Flaw in Relativity
Richard O. Calkins worked in the telephone industry for more than 40 years. Early in his career, he was a transmission engineer and later an Engineering Manager for network planning at Pacific Northwest Bell in Seattle, Washington.Following a move to GTE, he served in that company's Telephone Operations Headquarters in Stamford Connecticut, where he held positions as Assistant Vice President for regulatory strategy and Assistant Vice President for product planning and pricing.After retiring from GTE, he spent 6 years as Vice President for industry policy development at the United States Telephone Association in Washington, D.C.During his telephone industry career, he was listed in Who's Who of American Business Leaders Special Edition, the Platinum Edition of the Who's Who Registry, and the Who's Who Registry of Global Business Leaders.Since 1996, he has been retired in Sammamish, Washington, where he pursues personal interests in art, philosophy, writing books, and studying physics. His books available at Amazon include: Adages and Aphorisms from Philosophilus - a humorous collection of disdainful pronouncements about the human condition by a curmudgeonly ancient Athenian philosopher who has been channeled by Mr. Calkins.Oneliners: How the Line Communicates with Your Mind - a unique revelation of how the characteristics of a line determine what we see, think, and feel about what it portrays. Every illustration, from small drawings of individual characteristics, with explanatory text, to two dozen full page landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, er al, are drawn with a single line that never crosses or touches itself from beginning to end. How you respond to each of them is caused by the characteristics of a single line. If you want to become a master of line drawing, or simply want a better understanding of art, this book is for you.Revisiting Relativity uses recognized sources of generally accepted theory to unveil an irreparable flaw in Einstein's special theory of relativity. It explains what happened, why it happened, and how it has remained hidden from discovery for more than a century of empirical analysis. It also confirms James Clerk Maxwell's finding of a unique, motionless, inertial reference frame.
Percolation Theory Using Python
This course-based open access textbook delves into percolation theory, examining the physical properties of random media-materials characterized by varying sizes of holes and pores. The focus is on both the mathematical foundations and the computational and statistical methods used in this field. Designed as a practical introduction, the book places particular emphasis on providing a comprehensive set of computational tools necessary for studying percolation theory. Readers will learn how to generate, analyze, and comprehend data and models, with detailed theoretical discussions complemented by accessible computer codes. The book's structure ensures a complete exploration of worked examples, encompassing theory, modeling, implementation, analysis, and the resulting connections between theory and analysis. Beginning with a simplified model system-a model porous medium-whose mathematical theory is well-established, the book subsequently applies the same framework to realistic random systems. Key topics covered include one- and infinite-dimensional percolation, clusters, scaling theory, diffusion in disordered media, and dynamic processes. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this textbook serves as a foundational resource for understanding essential concepts in modern statistical physics, such as disorder, scaling, and fractal geometry.
Origins and Natures of Inflation, Dark Matter and Dark Energy
Exploring the origins of a field to understand inflation, dark matter, and dark energy is one of the most important problems in modern physics and cosmology. The future detection of primordial gravitational waves is strongly expected to reveal the energy scale of inflation in the early universe. Furthermore, there are two possibilities for the origin of dark matter, namely, new particles in particle-theory models beyond the standard model, and astrophysical objects. In addition, two representative studies have been proposed to elucidate the true character of dark energy, the existence of which leads to late-time cosmic acceleration. One introduces some unknown matter called dark energy with a negative pressure in general relativity. The other modifies gravity at large scales. The latter is called geometrical dark energy. The main aim of this Special Issue is to understand the origins and true natures of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy. We have considered both phenomenological approaches and more fundamental physics such as higher-dimensional gravity theories, quantum gravity, quantum cosmology, physics in the early universe, quantum field theories and gauge field theories in curved spacetime, string theories, brane world models, and the holographic principle. We are hopeful that this Special Issue on inflation, dark matter, dark energy, and the related foundations of physics is of utmost use.

Laws: Rigidity and Dynamics
Laws: are they a human invention or are they independent and indifferent to our existence? Are they there to be discovered, dictated, and enforced? Are they absolute and rigid, or do they evolve? Are they applicable in some cases and irrelevant in others? A group of multidisciplinary fellows and world-leading mentors from all habitable continents met at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and the IAS University of Birmingham, UK, to share and challenge their opinions on the subject. The results of their deliberations are to be found in the chapters of this book. The existence, dynamics, and flexibility of laws are analyzed in the arts, economy, engineering, history, philosophy, and science. The role of law in real-life applications such as the historic transformations of laws in South Africa, the construction of dynamic cities within the law, potential insurmountable obstacles to building quantum computers, as well as charting the best route to low or even zero carbon emissions are addressed by the fellows and mentors. The meetings were held within the framework of the Inter-Continental-Academia of the University-Based Institutes of Advanced Studies. The concept is also described in this book.
Relativity
General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It is the current description of gravitation in modern physics. General relativity generalises special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation, providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. In particular, the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the four-momentum (mass-energy and linear momentum) of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by the Einstein field equations, a system of partial differential equations. Einstein's theory has important astrophysical implications. For example, it implies the existence of black holes-regions of space in which space and time are distorted in such a way that nothing, not even light, can escape-as an end-state for massive stars. There is evidence that such stellar black holes as well as more massive varieties of black hole are responsible for the intense radiation emitted by certain types of astronomical objects such as active galactic nuclei or microquasars.

Blackout
For 20 years Australia has been in political denial about the seismic changes occurring in the way we power our country. Successive governments continue to tell people that power prices will fall while the lights stay on. Debate is reduced to two equally preposterous narratives: coal-fired, climate change indifference versus an impossibly utopian renewable energy future. This nonsense swirls around an incredulous public while power prices rise, the grid is stretched, energy becomes political poison and the earth warms. How did it come to this and how can we find our way out of this mess? Matthew Warren has worked for all sides of the energy industry, is regularly attacked for being too pro-coal and too pro-renewables, and writes without fear or favour. He has been lobbying for a national climate and electricity policy for over a decade. With an entertaining and fascinating narrative, BLACKOUT cuts through the waffle to chart the disintegration of Australia's energy security, call out what is holding us back, and plot the way for a brighter future.

All the photographs in this lavishly illustrated book were taken by the author, an internationally recognized authority on celestial photography. Reeves has perfected image processing techniques that allow the amateur astronomer, using modest equipment, to exceed the quality of Earth-based professional lunar photographs taken during the Apollo era. Although Reeves is an accomplished deep-sky photographer, his current passion is re-popularizing the Moon within the amateur astronomy community. Momentum is building for a manned return to the Moon to continue the exploration started over half a century ago. Photographic Atlas of the Moon will provide even the most novice reader with an understanding of the Moon and its allure so they can appreciate the upcoming explorations by NASA's Artemis lunar program.

Illustrative figures and notes are included throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in cosmic rays and the history of science.
Biomass as Raw Material for the Production of Biofuels and Chemicals
For the power industry, biomass is just a modern name for the ancient material of plant origin that was converted into energy in the simple technology of burning. This book discusses biomass as a raw material for the production of liquid or gaseous biofuels and valuable chemicals. Such biomass processing should be beneficial from both economic and environmental points of view. Classic technologies of biogas production are still being improved, but they always generate waste that differs in terms of chemical parameters, depending on the feedstock digested. These parameters dictate the manner of their final managing. Various biotechnologies allow the use of the biomass of hydrobionts, such as cyanobacteria as a raw substance for obtaining different products, e.g. hyaluronic acid, biopolymers, fertilizers, or even drugs. Animal fats or algae can be used to produce biodiesel which in turn is used in environmentally friendly urban transport. Even municipal solid waste can be a source of useful biomass. The authors show how its volume and composition can be predicted, by which form of processing it can be converted into valuable products, as well as in which ways its negative environmental impact can be limited.
Electrons (+ and -), Protons, Photons, Neutrons, and Cosmic Rays
Originally published in 1935, this book was written to provide a broad range of readers with an accessible guide to developments in physics. Mathematical proofs are included in the appendices in order to make the main body of the text more comprehensible for those without technical training. Illustrative figures are incorporated throughout. This is a highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in physics and the history of science.

Experiment and Theory in Physics
Max Born (1882-1970) was a physicist and mathematician who won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in the area of quantum mechanics. Originally published in 1943, this book presents a slightly expanded version of an address Born gave to the Durham Philosophical Society and the Pure Science Society, King's College, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne on 21st May 1943. The text provides an examination of the mutual relationship between theory and experiment in the development of physics. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the works of Born, physics and the history of science.
Hybrid Epistemology as a Solution to Reductionism-Physicalism Issues
This book provides an introspection into overlooked aspects of physical science: overrated standards, an Aristotelian perspective, and underappreciated paradigms. Combining two works, it explores physical science - describing the world scientifically and consistently - through two themes. First, it shows that while an experimental hypothesis approach succeeds due to the availability of the physical world, other strategies exist. The author proposes one approach focused on physical science's extreme prioritization of certain goals, which may limit its exploration. Some overlooked ideas are thoroughly detailed. Second, it re-examines Aristotelian physics, contrasting it with modern science and analyzing its wholesale replacement. Beyond just comparing, it identifies Aristotelian virtues, citing recent supporting works. It illustrates an unfinished pre-modern science paradigm. Overall, readers gain a complete understanding of the hard science paradigm, including its hidden assumptions, exaggerations, evolutionary myths, and options for innovation. The study sheds new light on hard science's modern pre-eminence, grounding analysis in principles, not achievements. This clarifies physical studies' roots, each paradigm's exaggerations and oversimplifications, allowing new approaches.
Mars Beckons
The astronomer Percival Lowell envisioned a world threaded by canals and peopled by ancient, intelligent beings. The Viking spacecraft showed us a seemingly sterile planet with a salmon-pink sky and sub-Antarctic temperatures. In this swiftly paced and authoritative book, a Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer traverses the vast physical and cognitive distances between Earth and Mars--and between Lowell's Mars and Viking's--while offering an informed vision of the future of Martian exploration. Mars Beckons is a fascinating synthesis of myth, history, politics, and high technology, written with the momentum of a grand adventure story. "Absorbing, fast, paced and neatly balanced . . .

Quantum Geometry, Matrix Theory, and Gravity
Building on mathematical structures familiar from quantum mechanics, this book provides an introduction to quantization in a broad context before developing a framework for quantum geometry in Matrix Theory and string theory. Taking a physics-oriented approach to quantum geometry, this framework helps explain the physics of Yang-Mills-type matrix models, leading to a quantum theory of space-time and matter. This novel framework is then applied to Matrix Theory, which is defined through distinguished maximally supersymmetric matrix models related to string theory. A mechanism for gravity is discussed in depth, which emerges as a quantum effect on quantum space-time within Matrix Theory. Using explicit examples and exercises, readers will develop a physical intuition for the mathematical concepts and mechanisms. It will benefit advanced students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics, and is a useful resource for physicists and mathematicians interested in the geometrical aspects of quantization in a broader context.
Top Quark at the New Physics Frontier
The hunt for top quarks began back in the 1970s after the proposal of the sixquark model by Kobayashi and Maskawa, and it was discovered in 1995 at the Fermilab Tevatron. It was experimentally established by five different experiments in different production modes and a variety of collision energies. At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), top quark-antiquark pairs are routinely produced at a rate of about six per minute, enabling experiments to make detailed measurements of the properties of top quarks. The analysis of the data collected at the Tevatron and the LHC experiments has revealed, so far, good agreement with the standard model (SM) predictions. The top quark is the most massive elementary particle identified to date: not only does it have a privileged Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson, but its mass is also significantly higher than that of the Higgs boson. Owing to its large mass, the top quark decays before hadronization, making the study of "bare" quark properties possible in experimental settings. Therefore, top quark physics simultaneously pushes the frontiers of quantum chromodynamics, electroweak, and flavor physics. The aim of this reprint is to provide a comprehensive review of the status and prospects of top quark physics at the LHC and possible future colliders. We have included articles that especially emphasize where the present understanding is incomplete and suggest new directions for research in this area.

Cambridge Lower Secondary Complete Physics Workbook 2nd Edit
Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the properties of macroscopic systems (large collections of atoms, such as in a solid) to the microscopic properties of its parts.
Pseudocapacitive Storage in Advanced Nanostructured Materials towards Flexible Supercapacitor Device
Flexible Supercapacitors (FSCs) possessing higher power output, greater energy density, extended cycle life, superior rate performance, and eco-friendly attributes can satisfy the future energy storage and delivery requirements in upcoming flexible electronics. However, the current supercapacitors (SCs) technology based on carbonaceous or conducting polymers is constrained primarily by their low energy density, restraining their large-scale implementation. In this context, Pseudocapacitive materials such as Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) that undergo rapid and highly reversible redox and intercalation kinetics at or near the electrode surface, coupled with electric double-layer capacitive (EDLC) kinetics, can assist FSCs in achieving higher energy and power densities simultaneously.
Partial Moments in System Identification
This book provides a complete round-up of developments concerned with the application of partial moments in system identification and data-driven modelling; it captures the essence of work carried out at the Laboratoire d'Informatique et d'Automatique pour les Syst癡mes for more than 40 years. The book begins with introductory material, describing both the mathematical tools associated with partial moments and reinitialized partial moments and an example demonstrating their use. The authors then proceed to show how these tools can be used for the identification of continuous-time linear models, discrete-time linear models, continuous-time linear state-space models, linear parameter-varying models and multidimensional models based on partial differential equations. The properties and performances of each of these approaches are presented. The analogy with algebraic approaches is proved, thus opening perspectives for extension to other fields. The text removes some long-standing limitations on the implementation of partial-moment-based tools in system identification. This book is of interest to researchers and postgraduates studying system identification, control theory, applied mathematics and computer science. It is also useful for engineers working on industrial applications of the parametric estimation of mathematical models.
Photon and Particle Impact Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Atoms, Molecules, and Clusters
There have been three recent developments in AMO and cluster science: a) new and progressively precise technologies to synthesize materials with good purity statistics for their gas-phase, as thin films, or in their liquid-phase; b) significant diversification of pump-probe laser and particle sources and related experimental techniques allowing us to access both the energy response and temporal response of the target materials in ultrafast time scales; and c) increasing the availability of high-performance computer software on ever faster computers, which can be processed in both series and parallel mode. These developments have empowered the broader AMO community to address more detailed and critical aspects of the response and relaxation processes. As a result, many groups have become involved in ever-more challenging and complex investigations, pushing the frontier of knowledge. This Special Issue will provide a forum in which to broadcast emerging research results, creating a repository professional knowledge, novel research questions and outlooks, and stimulating brand-new collaborations.

This book provides a broad introduction to integrable systems with many degrees of freedom. Within a much larger orbit, discussed are models such as the classical Toda lattice, Calogero fluid, and Ablowitz-Ladik discretized nonlinear Schr繹dinger equation. On the quantum mechanical side, featured are the Lieb-Liniger delta-Bose gas and the quantum Toda lattice. As a genuinely novel twist, the study deals with random initial data described by generalized Gibbs ensembles with parameters of slow spatial variation. This is the hydrodynamic scale, in spirit similar to the ballistic Euler scale of nonintegrable simple fluids. While integrable microscopic particle models are very diverse, the central theme of this book is to elucidate their structural similarity on hydrodynamic scales.
The Physics of Supernovae and Their Mathematical Models
This book is dedicated to the theory of supernovae, focusing on new computational methods and simulations. It contains three parts: basic principles, numerical methods, and applications. The first part contains a non-formal introduction into the basics of supernovae, Boltzmann kinetic equations -- with details of two particles reaction rate calculations -- and the transformation of Boltzmann kinetic equations into hydrodynamic elements of statistical physics. It also contains the equation of state for matter of high energy density, with details of calculations for thermodynamic parameters, weak interactions, reaction rate details, and thermonuclear burning. The second part introduces elements of computational physics.The book closes with a presentation of original thought regarding the regime of burning in degenerate carbon-oxygen cores, a neutrino transport in Type II supernovae, a simulation of general relativity (GR) coalescence of neutron stars, aspherical nucleosynthesis in a core-collapse supernova, and thermalization in a pair of plasma winds from a compact strange star.This book brings together generally accepted simulations methods as well as original material written by two respected members of Russian research groups: the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics and Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics. It contains the necessary information for a person to start independent research in this fast-developing field, and is therefore an important read for new researchers in this subject.
