This book investigates the propagation of waves in the presence of black holes. Astrophysical black holes may eventually be probed by these techniques. The authors emphasise intuitive physical thinking in their treatment of the techniques of analysis of scattering, but alternate…
Bogen handler om en videnskabelig krig om forståelsen og beskrivelsen af de fysiske processer i universets sorte huller. Hvad sker der, når noget suges ind i et sort hul? Forsvinder det så? For tredive år siden hævdede fysikeren Stephen Hawking, at det var tilfældet, og satte he…
Traces the efforts of an elite scientific team who tested Einstein's theory of relativity during a historic mission to photograph a black hole, addressing key questions about time, space, and the nature of the universe. "[This book] follows a team of elite scientists on their h…
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a sound mathematical introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity, both special relativity and general relativity, as well as an understanding of the physical insights needed to explore the subject and the principles that gui…
This resource gives a wide spectrum of topics of modern astroparticle physics, such as neutrino astrophysics, dark matter of the universe, high energy cosmic rays, topological defects in cosmology, gamma-ray bursts, and phase transitions at high temperatures.
Five extraordinary papers by Albert Einstein that transformed physics, edited and introduced by John Stachel and with a foreword by Nobel laureate Roger Penrose After 1905, Einstein's miraculous year, physics would never be the same again. In those twelve months, Einstein shatte…
Quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host Jim Al-Khalili offers a fascinating and illuminating look at what physics reveals about the world Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to underst…
