  • The Infinite Cosmos

    Questions from the frontiers of cosmology

    by Joseph Silk ...
    From time immemorial, poets and philosophers have looked in awe and wonder at the Universe. Such awe is shared by astrophysicists, too, as they seek to understand its nature, and whether it has any limits. In The Infinite Cosmos, Joseph Silk, Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University, cosmologist and well-known science writer, brings together the modern understanding of the Universe, ...

  • The Little Book of Black Holes

    by Frans Pretorius, Steven S. Gubser ...
    Series series Science Essentials
    Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holesBlack holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality—a ... Read more

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more
