  • Teaching Einsteinian Physics in Schools

    An Essential Guide for Teachers in Training and Practice

    Edited by Magdalena Kersting, David Blair ...
    In our world today, scientists and technologists speak one language of reality. Everyone else, whether they be prime ministers, lawyers, or primary school teachers speak an outdated Newtonian language of reality.While Newton saw time and space as rigid and absolute, Einstein showed that time is relative – it depends on height and velocity – and that space can stretch and distort. The modern ... Read more

  • Lost in Math

    How Beauty Leads Physics Astray

    by Sabine Hossenfelder ...
    In this "provocative" book (New York Times), a contrarian physicist argues that her field's modern obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science.Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine ... Read more

    Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different

    by Philip Ball ...
    A journey into the mysteries and meaning of quantum theory: "Gorgeously lucid text . . . easily the best book I've read on the subject." — The Washington Post"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen ... Read more

  • The Quantum World

    The disturbing theory at the heart of reality

    by New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. ... Read more

    Illusion or Reality?

    by Alastair Rae ...
    Series series Canto Classics
    Quantum physics is believed to be the fundamental theory underlying our understanding of the physical universe.

    What Everyone Needs to Know®

    by Michael G. Raymer ...
    Series series What Everyone Needs To Know®
    Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining phenomena on ...

  • Farewell to Reality

    How Fairytale Physics Betrays the Search for Scientific Truth

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Modern physics is heady stuff. It seems that barely a week goes by without some new astounding science story; some revelation about hidden dimensions, multiple universes, the holographic principle or incredible cosmic coincidences. But is it true? What evidence do we have for super-symmetric squarks', or superstrings vibrating in an 11-dimensional space-time? How do we know that we live in a ... Read more

  • The Short Range Anti-Gravitational Force and the Hierarchically Stratified Space-Time Geometry in 12 Dimensions

    by Christina Anne Knight ...
    The fi eld of cosmology may be on the verge of a signifi cant paradigm shift, as there is an increasing awareness that scientists have missed something fundamental as they carry on in their quest for a theory of everything and a theory that unites general relativity with quantum mechanics. Knight proposes a new theory suggesting that the space-time geometry possesses a complex hierarchical ... Read more
