Book excerpt: Pionnier dans l’étude de la gravité quantique, Carlo Rovelli propose dans ce livre une vaste fresque des grandes avancées de la physique. Des atomes de Démocrite aux « atomes d’espace », de la chaleur des trous noirs aux hypothèses sur le rôle de l’information dans notre perception de la réalité, il nous guide, sans aucune équation, sur le fascinant chemin des grandes théories – physique quantique, relativité générale – qui ont changé notre vision du monde et nous ont dévoilé, par-delà le visible, une autre réalité. Atomes, quanta et espace-temps courbe mènent le lecteur vers l’étrange image du réel suggérée par la physique d’aujourd’hui : celle d’un monde sans espace ni temps, ni énergie. Seulement un fourmillement probabiliste de quanta élémentaires qui, dans leur danse folle, dessinent l’espace, le temps, la matière et la lumière. C’est la trame d’un nouveau regard sur la réalité qui se révèle sous la plume d’un merveilleux conteur. Carlo Rovelli, physicien et historien des sciences, membre senior de l’Institut universitaire de France, est l’un des pères, internationalement reconnu, de la « gravité quantique à boucles », théorie qui cherche à comprendre l’intérieur des trous noirs et les tout premiers instants de l’Univers. Il dirige le groupe de recherche en gravité quantique au Centre de physique théorique de Marseille-Luminy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrice Uguet Chercheur indépendant, et ingénieur de formation, il est un vrai réaliste. Il cherche des explications et la description des phénomènes quantiques inexpliqués à ce jour. Nous découvrons ainsi avec surprise, mais aussi un grand plaisir, ce que pourrait signifier vraiment l’intrication. Il tente une explication rationnelle, du paradoxe EPR, et de la non-localité. Une nouvelle théorie des fibres émerge progressivement, structurée, logique, élégante. Il éclaire d’un jour nouveau des notions de la physique quantique actuelle, qui sont floues ou inexpliquées : la gravité, l’accélération de l’expansion, la matière noire. Sa description réaliste du temps qui passe, est très singulière.

Book excerpt: Gravité quantique, supersymétrie, univers multiples : la cosmologie et la physique quantique nous donnent aujourd’hui de l’univers une image stupéfiante, à même de défier l’imagination la plus délirante. Conjuguant la puissance de la science et le souffle de la poésie, Michel Cassé parvient à nous rendre intelligibles les concepts les plus abstraits et les théories les plus ardues. Quand le vide quantique, sous sa plume, fleurit en particules élémentaires puis, en un clin d’œil cosmique (l’« inflation »), se déploie en stupéfiants « plurivers », la physique et la cosmologie s’éclairent du bonheur de l’écriture. Michel Cassé, astrophysicien, a été directeur de recherche au Commissariat à l’énergie atomique. Il est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages, dont Du vide et de la création, qui a été un très grand succès.

Download or read book Asymptotically Safe Gravity written by Alessia Benedetta Platania and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to construct a consistent fundamental quantum theory of gravity, which is often considered one of the most challenging open problems in present-day physics. It approaches this challenge using modern functional renormalization group techniques, and attempts to realize the idea of "Asymptotic Safety" originally proposed by S. Weinberg. Quite remarkably, the book makes significant progress regarding both the fundamental aspects of the program and its phenomenological consequences. The conceptual developments pioneer the construction of a well-behaved functional renormalization group equation adapted to spacetimes with a preferred time-direction. It is demonstrated that the Asymptotic Safety mechanism persists in this setting and extends to many phenomenologically interesting gravity-matter systems. These achievements constitute groundbreaking steps towards bridging the gap between quantum gravity in Euclidean and Lorentzian spacetimes. The phenomenological applications cover core topics in quantum gravity, e.g. constructing a phenomenologically viable cosmological evolution based on quantum gravity effects in the very early universe, and analyzing quantum corrections to black holes forming from a spherical collapse. As a key feature, all developments are presented in a comprehensive and accessible way. This makes the work a timely and valuable guide into the rapidly evolving field of Asymptotic Safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dernier épisode des avancées de la physique moderne : la physique de l’infiniment grand a rejoint celle de l’infiniment petit, et la cosmologie s’est unie à la physique des particules. À l’origine de l’Univers et de la matière, il y a quelque 14 milliards d’années, il n’y avait en effet que de l’énergie. Reste à comprendre la nature de cette curieuse interaction entre énergie, espace, temps et matière. Pour résoudre l’énigme, on a d’abord pensé que l’espace-temps, courbé à grande échelle par la gravitation, pouvait à très petite échelle se courber plus violemment, jusqu’à former une « écume » de pure énergie aussi chaotique que poétique. Ont suivi d’autres théories — supercordes, boucles, géométrie non commutative, gravité entropique et trois autres décrites ici pour la première fois de façon accessible — dont émergent aujourd’hui les modèles de « gravité quantique » qui raviront les amateurs de scénarios décoiffants. Certaines voient le tissu de l’espace-temps fait de minuscules bouts d’espace et de temps élémentaires, d’autres le voient flou, d’autres encore voient dans le réel une illusion due au grand nombre de particules dont nous sommes constitués. À défaut de donner ici la clé de l’énigme, Jean-Pierre Luminet nous fait partager sa passion — sans équation — et dresse un surprenant panorama des théories actuelles sur l’origine de l’Univers. Jean-Pierre Luminet, spécialiste des trous noirs et de la cosmologie, est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages destinés au grand public. Il travaille au Laboratoire d’astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) sur les théories de gravité quantique.

Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book Your Mindful Compass written by Andrea Maloney Schara and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

Download or read book The Mis Behaviour of Markets written by Benoit B. Mandelbrot and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.
