If you are curious to enjoy complex astrophysics concepts and want to skip math in between and rather enjoy physical illustrations then you are at the right place. Don't let complex differential calculus, tensors, coordinate transformations, etc hinder your curiosity to know our universe (at least at some scale!). The book will fulfill your non-physicist level of curiosity to learn astrophysics concepts like black holes, wormholes, gravitational lensing, spacetime cutoffs, and many more This book combines established astrophysics results and the author's lens to look at this universe being illustrated by pure imagination. The difficulty level of this book is medium and it strongly focuses on making concepts imaginative and understandable enough. And surely it would astound you as imagining astrophysics is another level of feeling. Story Behind the making of ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS : I am Hiten Shelar, an Astrophysicist and Philosopher. My interest in the universe goes way back when I was just a wee lad of 5. But it was the film Interstellar that really got my gears turning when I was 14. Then, my math skills were pretty good at that time, but not quite advanced enough for understanding the complexities of astrophysics. So, I made it my mission to learn all the math I needed to understand this field, and it took me a solid four years to do it! However, during those years, I had a hell of a time trying to quench my thirst for knowledge about the universe without relying on mathematics. That's when I realized that our universe is mind-blowing even when we try to imagine it without math, just using our imagination (say at least at a definite extent). That's when I had the bright idea to write ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS, where I share all my juicy non-mathematical knowledge about astrophysics that I accumulated over those four years. Now, even though I'm equipped with advanced math skills, I still believe that my book is a real treasure trove for anyone who's curious about the universe and wants to understand it without getting bogged down by complex math. So, if you want to discover the secrets of the universe without having to deal with those pesky numbers and formulas, then ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS is the book for you.

Download or read book Cosmology Physics and Philosophy written by Benjamin Gal-Or and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is unorthodox in this book? Much has happened in the last few years, especially in terms of the somewhat surpris ing rate at which the theories presented herein have been gaining increasing acceptance and support even by the most skeptical professionals. Nevertheless, the purpose of this up-dated Preface is not to tell the biographical and acceptance story behind this book, but to bring together some non-physical and non technical conclusions for those readers who find the physico-mathematical sections of this book too difficult to follow. A secondary purpose is to present here some newer conclu sions, especially in general philosophy and in aesthetics. Yet, the main physico philosophical conclusions presented in this book are not to be summarized here. For that purpose one must tum to the text itself. * * * The theories presented here have been developed in total isolation. They were never presented in "professional conferences", as most current writers do. Whether or not that was important remains to be seen. Hence, all I can state to critics and enthusiastic follow ers alike is the fact that I do not belong to any 'formal discipline', 'pressure group', or 'pro fessional organization'.

Download or read book Comets written by P. Andrew Karam and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiating fire and ice, comets as a phenomenon seem part science, part myth. Two thousand years ago when a comet shot across the night sky, it convinced the Romans that Julius Caesar was a god. In 1066, Halley’s Comet was interpreted as a foreshadowing of the death of Harold the Second in the Battle of Hastings. Even today the arrival of a comet often feels auspicious, confirming our hopes, fears, and sense of wonder in the universe. In Comets, P. Andrew Karam takes the reader on a far-ranging exploration of these most beautiful and dramatic objects in the skies, revealing how comets and humanity have been interwoven throughout history. He delves into the science of comets and how it has changed over time; the way comets have been depicted in art, religion, literature, and popular culture; and how comets have appeared in the heavens through the centuries. Comprehensive in scope and beautifully illustrated throughout, the book will appeal not only to the budding astronomer, but to anyone with an appreciation for these compelling and remarkable celestial bodies.
Download or read book Understanding the Universe written by James B. Seaborn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for undergraduate non-science majors, satisfying a general education requirement or seeking an elective in natural science, this is a physics text, but with the emphasis on topics and applications in astronomy. The perspective is thus different from most undergraduate astronomy courses: rather than discussing what is known about the heavens, this text develops the principles of physics so as to illuminate what we see in the heavens. The fundamental principles governing the behaviour of matter and energy are thus used to study the solar system, the structure and evolution of stars, and the early universe. The first part of the book develops Newtonian mechanics towards an understanding of celestial mechanics, while chapters on electromagnetism and elementary quantum theory lay the foundation of the modern theory of the structure of matter and the role of radiation in the constitution of stars. Kinetic theory and nuclear physics provide the basis for a discussion of stellar structure and evolution, and an examination of red shifts and other observational data provide a basis for discussions of cosmology and cosmogony.
