Vincent Massée (1966) Schrijft vrij over de verschillende onderwerpen die hem bezighouden.

Naast cultuur in algemene zin schrijft hij in dit werk over de deeltjes volgens Higgs.

Ook het werk van de Nederlandse Gebroeders Huygens komt aan bod en hij stipt het werk aan van de Gebroeders de Wit.

Het werk is verduidelijkt met enige afbeeldingen.

‘the revealing power of street lighting installations’ vormde in 1938 het antwoord op de vraag van de Britse overheid om een methode voor het ‘meten’ van zichtbaarheid. Het, met behulp van de bevindingen van C. Dunbar en F.C. Smith, door John Maylon Waldram geschreven rapport werd met enthousiasme ontvangen. Maar ondanks verdere ontwikkeling in de zeventiger jaren, heeft de Revealing Power sindsdien de weg naar de dagelijkse ontwerppraktijk helaas nooit gevonden.

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...

Quantum Physics shows us that we create what we observe. Countless experiments confirm that it is our information which manifests reality. Matter and time are created by our observation. This is not only true when we do experiments in laboratories, but it works the same way in everyday reality. We manifest our own experiences. Science does not prove that our consciousness must be a product of our material brain. On the contrary. Consciousness emerging from the brain is just a belief. This boo...

Makes critical topics accessible by illustrating them with simple examples and figures Presents modern quantum mechanical concepts systematically and applies them consistently throughout the book Covers foundational topics, including transition probabilities, crystal structure, reciprocal lattices, and Bloch theorem to build understanding of applications, such as lasers and semiconductor devices Features expanded exercises and problems at the end of each chapter as well as multiple appendi...

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for th...

Focus on the fundamentals and help students see connections between problem types Richard Wolfson's Essential University Physics is a concise and progressive calculus-based physics textbook that offers clear writing, great problems, and relevant real-life applications in an affordable and streamlined text. The book teaches sound problem-solving strategies and emphasises conceptual understanding, using features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies. Realising st...

Einstein has succeeded in separating far more completely than hitherto the share of the observer and the share of external nature in the things we see happen. The perception of an object by an observer depends on his own situation and circumstances; for example, distance will make it appear smaller and dimmer. We make allowance for this almost unconsciously in interpreting what we see. But it now appears that the allowance made for the motion of the observer has hitherto been too crude|a fact...
