Some efforts have been made to prove negative mass behavior through some experiments performed in mechanics, and other disciplines as well as some theories in electrostatics, but I haven't found research about similar effects at the atomic level, where the most elementary mass given by the atomic nucleus is to be found.Is the second Newton's law still valid with negative mass?What could happen if we make the atom behave in a negative mass regime?Is...

In this book, we analyze, from a self-taught perspective, the question, "Will there be a fundamental theory of the laws that govern the world we live in?" Shrouded in extreme abstraction embodied in self-described gobbledygook, accessible only to a trained practitioner, modern physics can seem like a capricious subject. Nevertheless, with perseverance, at least a rudimentary understanding of modern physics is available to the uninitiated spectator....

Los descubrimientos de Niels Bohr en el campo de la teoría cuántica llevaron a avances monumentales en la física y en nuestra comprensión de la estructura atómica. Bohr ganó el premio Nobel por su labor en 1922 y sus ideas, aún hoy, siguen impulsando a la física hacia nuevos descubrimientos.
¿Pero qué es la teoría cuántica? La mayoría de nosotros no entendemos ni los conceptos más básicos aunque en ella reside la clave para comprender...

In physics there is a quest to find the mythical Grand Unified Theory. It was begun by Einstein and it is a belief that there exists a singular ultimate theory of Nature and physics. It has not been found. Its search consumes today's physics. It has seen radical ideas, novelties, research paths, experiments, and more to find it. It consumes legions of physicists worldwide. Here in this book, we will review discussion on this amazing mystery,...

Professor Steven Pollock from the University of Colorado at Boulder gives 24 lectures on particle physics. Taken from the guidebook introduction: "This course will offer a tour of the particle zoo and the ideas and phenomena involved in qualitatively understanding current concepts of modern physics. No math involved! What's so strange about strange quarks? Why didn't we build a superconducting supercollider? Should we believe in particles that no...

A brief, cutting-edge introduction to the brightest cosmic phenomena known to science
Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest-and, until recently, among the least understood-cosmic events in the universe. Discovered by chance during the cold war, these evanescent high-energy explosions confounded astronomers for decades. But a rapid series of startling breakthroughs...

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, genauer gesagt Jahrhunderten, wurde viel von "Phänomenen", "Mysterien" oder "Weltenrätseln" gesprochen. Bereits seit Jahrhunderten wird die Welt von Spukerscheinungen heimgesucht, und seit jeher fragt sich der Mensch, ob es ein Weiterleben nach dem Tod gibt und ob die Seele eine gewisse Zeit nach dem Tod wieder auf die Erde zurückkehren müsse.
Seit Plato die Behauptung aufstellte, dass es in unserer Vorzeit im Atlantischen...
