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 Cycles of Time written by Roger Penrose and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Nobel prize-winner Roger Penrose, this groundbreaking book is for anyone "who is interested in the world, how it works, and how it got here" (New York Journal of Books). Penrose presents a new perspective on three of cosmology’s essential questions: What came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? And what cosmic future awaits us? He shows how the expected fate of our ever-accelerating and expanding universe—heat death or ultimate entropy—can actually be reinterpreted as the conditions that will begin a new “Big Bang.” He details the basic principles beneath our universe, explaining various standard and non-standard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, the paramount significance of black holes, and other basic building blocks of contemporary physics. Intellectually thrilling and widely accessible, Cycles of Time is a welcome new contribution to our understanding of the universe from one of our greatest mathematicians and thinkers.

Download or read book Astrophysics for Physicists written by Arnab Rai Choudhuri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for teaching astrophysics to physics students at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, this textbook also provides an overview of astrophysics for astrophysics graduate students, before they delve into more specialized volumes. Assuming background knowledge at the level of a physics major, the textbook develops astrophysics from the basics without requiring any previous study in astronomy or astrophysics. Physical concepts, mathematical derivations and observational data are combined in a balanced way to provide a unified treatment. Topics such as general relativity and plasma physics, which are not usually covered in physics courses but used extensively in astrophysics, are developed from first principles. While the emphasis is on developing the fundamentals thoroughly, recent important discoveries are highlighted at every stage.

Download or read book The Universe in a Nutshell written by Stephen Hawking and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2001-11-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Hawking’s phenomenal, multimillion-copy bestseller, A Brief History of Time, introduced the ideas of this brilliant theoretical physicist to readers all over the world. Now, in a major publishing event, Hawking returns with a lavishly illustrated sequel that unravels the mysteries of the major breakthroughs that have occurred in the years since the release of his acclaimed first book. The Universe in a Nutshell • Quantum mechanics • M-theory • General relativity • 11-dimensional supergravity • 10-dimensional membranes • Superstrings • P-branes • Black holes One of the most influential thinkers of our time, Stephen Hawking is an intellectual icon, known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas but for the clarity and wit with which he expresses them. In this new book Hawking takes us to the cutting edge of theoretical physics, where truth is often stranger than fiction, to explain in laymen’s terms the principles that control our universe. Like many in the community of theoretical physicists, Professor Hawking is seeking to uncover the grail of science — the elusive Theory of Everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and often playful style, he guides us on his search to uncover the secrets of the universe — from supergravity to supersymmetry, from quantum theory to M-theory, from holography to duality. He takes us to the wild frontiers of science, where superstring theory and p-branes may hold the final clue to the puzzle. And he lets us behind the scenes of one of his most exciting intellectual adventures as he seeks “to combine Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman’s idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe.” With characteristic exuberance, Professor Hawking invites us to be fellow travelers on this extraordinary voyage through space-time. Copious four-color illustrations help clarify this journey into a surreal wonderland where particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions; where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secret with them; and where the original cosmic seed from which our own universe sprang was a tiny nut. The Universe in a Nutshell is essential reading for all of us who want to understand the universe in which we live. Like its companion volume, A Brief History of Time, it conveys the excitement felt within the scientific community as the secrets of the cosmos reveal themselves.
