When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Mechanics Of The Quantum [MQ] searches for mechanical microprocesses of individual and collective behaviour of quanta (as building blocks of fields, mass, energy, light…) to reveal causality behind the laws of physics. The discrete MQ-model shows a 5th property.

Our reference frame from our level of scale does not allow us to interact mechanically with the smaller or smallest scales. But that doesn’t mean that things at those scales do not behave in ways similar to classical mechanical pr...

Wat wij weten leidt altijd tot wat we niet weten. Dit boek volgt het historische pad van de meest briljante theorieën in de natuurkunde en de mensen die deze maakten: de algemene relativiteitstheorie en de kwantumveldentheorie. De paden van deze zeer succesvolle beschrijvingen van het Heelal kruisen elkaar. Waar de theorieën botsen, dooft het licht dat zij werpen op het begrijpen van onze wereld. Wij weten niet hoe het verder moet. Kunnen ze worden samengevoegd tot een enkele theorie? Niema...

The spectacular culinary creations of modern cuisine are the stuff of countless articles and Instagram feeds. But to a scientist they are also perfect pedagogical explorations into the basic scientific principles of cooking. In Science and Cooking, Harvard professors Michael Brenner, Pia Sörensen and David Weitz bring the classroom to your kitchen to teach the physics and chemistry underlying every recipe.

Science and Cooking answers questions such as why we knead bread, what determines the ...

For courses in introductory calculus-based physics. A research-driven approach to physics Physics for Scientists and Engineers incorporates Physics Education Research and cognitive science best practices that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving skill acquisition, and visualization. Knight stresses qualitative reasoning through physics principles before formalizing physics mathematically, developing student problem-solving skills with a systematic, scaffolded approach.
