Download or read book Models for Physics of the Very Small and Very Large written by Thomas J. Buckholtz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph tackles three challenges. First, show a mathematics-based meta-model that matches known elementary particles. Second, apply models, based on the meta-model, to match other known physics data. Third, predict future physics data. The math features solutions to isotropic pairs of isotropic quantum harmonic oscillators. This monograph matches some solutions to known elementary particles. Matched properties include spin, types of interactions in which the particles partake, and (for elementary bosons) approximate masses. Other solutions point to possible elementary particles. This monograph applies the models and the extended particle list. Results narrow gaps between physics data and theory. Results pertain to elementary particles, astrophysics, and cosmology. For example, this monograph predicts properties for beyond-the-Standard-Model elementary particles, proposes descriptions of dark matter and dark energy, provides new relationships between known physics constants (including masses of some elementary particles), includes theory that dovetails with the ratio of dark matter to ordinary matter, includes math that dovetails with the number of elementary-fermion generations, suggests forces that govern the rate of expansion of the universe, and suggests additions to and details for the cosmology timeline.

Download or read book Understanding Gravity The Generation Model Approach written by Brian A Robson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) describes the physics of the very large in terms of classical physics, while quantum theory describes the physics of the very small in terms of the Standard Model of particle physics. Unfortunately, the two theories are incompatible and do not describe satisfactorily all the forces between the various particles comprising ordinary matter. At present, one of the deepest problems in theoretical physics is harmonizing the GTR, which describes gravitation, with quantum mechanics, which describes the other three fundamental forces acting on the atomic scale. The main aim of the book is to provide an understanding of gravity in terms of a quantum theory given by the Generation Model of particle physics. The book presents a fully quantum theory of gravity, which describes both the large cosmological scale and the small atomic scale interactions between all particles.

Download or read book Redefining Standard Model Cosmology written by Brian Albert Robson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current standard model of cosmology is based primarily on two incompatible theoretical models: (1) the standard model of particle physics, which describes the physics of the very small in terms of quantum mechanics, and (2) the general theory of relativity, which describes the physics of the very large in terms of classical physics. Both these theoretical models are considered to be incomplete in the sense that they do not provide any understanding of several empirical observations, such as the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, gravity, and matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The main aim of this book is to discuss these serious problems that threaten to undermine the current standard model of cosmology.

Download or read book Neutrinos And Implications For Physics Beyond The Standard Model written by R Shrock and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-08-12 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book presents the proceedings of the conference “Neutrinos and Implications for Physics Beyond the Standard Model”, put on by the Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, State University of New York at Stony Brook.The observation of neutrino masses and lepton mixing constitutes the first confirmed evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. This evidence includes the measured deficiency of charged current reactions induced by solar neutrinos and the anomalous zenith angle distribution of atmospheric neutrinos. A profound question now facing theorists is: What do these observations imply for new physics? At the conference, members of the major experiments gave an update on current experimental evidence from solar and atmospheric neutrino data for neutrino oscillations, and status reports from KamLAND and MiniBooNE. Leading theorists also reported on neutrinoless double beta decay, high energy neutrino scattering and precision electroweak data, theoretical models for neutrino masses and lepton mixing, and constraints from neutrino data, etc. Since neutrino physics is at present one of the most exciting areas of particle physics, this volume should be of interest to a wide variety of students and researchers in physics.

Download or read book Physics Doesn t Need to Be That Difficult written by Jack F. Bennett and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics Doesn't Need To Be That Difficult presents the origins of a conclusion that the model which is in general use today for the teaching of the theory of physics could be and should be replaced by a simpler and yet more comprehensive model. The book presents such a suggested model, and also makes clear the ways in which the suggested new model differs from the currently conventional model. The physicists deemed newsworthy these days are often those whose focus is far out. Astronomical subjects like the Big Bang, the Expanding Universe, Black Holes, and Dark Matter are all the rage. Yet I have developed a conviction that what physics most needs right now is a new look at some things closer to home: how students are taught the subject and the conventional model on which that teaching is now based. I came to that conviction in an unexpected way. When I retired at age 65 from a full-time career in finance, including service in the US Treasury as Under Secretary for Monetary Affairs and at Exxon Corporation for fourteen years as chief financial officer and director, I became a director of a number of other corporations, including the US computer company Tandem and the European electronics company Philips. It occurred to me then that some up-to-date knowledge of physics might come in handy during my service on the boards of those companies. It had been almost fifty years since my brief brush with formal education in the subject, an undergraduate semester course at Yale. So I began reading some textbooks and other books available from public libraries and book stores. It turned out that during my period of service no questions ever came before the boards where a better knowledge of physics seemed required, but by the time I realized that I had become interested in the subject. Unfortunately I had no access to university libraries, but I did have an advantage relative to university students when I came to a statement I couldn't understand. I had the time - and the long airline flights - to continue to wrestle with the statement rather than have to memorize it for the next exam and pass on to the next subject. And I had the good fortune to find some knowledgeable experts who had great patience with my resistance to education and who were willing in occasional meetings to try to explain to me the conventional answers to questions I asked. One of these tutors was a brilliant MIT post-graduate student, Derin Sherman, later a professor at Cornell College in Iowa. Another was Howard Hayden, a perceptive professor of physics at the University of Connecticut, now retired to Colorado. A fourth was Jill Moring, an experienced bio-chemist. And the fifth was a thoughtful professor from Hampshire College, Herbert Bernstein. These scholars did not share the extreme skepticism which I developed about current theory and instructional practices, but all of them were tolerant, and Professor Hayden had edited an alternative academic journal, Galilean Electrodynamics, had published a number of scientific journal articles questioning the conventional interpretation of some empirical data as supporting Einstein's Special Relativity. Despite the professional help I received I found trying to understand the way the theory of physics is being presented to students today extremely difficult. My experience convinced me that the subject could be made much simpler and more understandable. Sometimes the complex formulations of the experts reminded me of those frequent historical occasions when religious leaders objected to presentation of the teachings of their sects in a form which the uninitiated might understand without priestly intermediaries. Often I found myself wondering whether the emperor had any clothes. The new model posits that, apart from some extremely small things called neutrinos and possibly some very large things far out in space called dark matter, about which little is known, all the thi

Download or read book String Gravity and Physics at the Planck Energy Scale written by Norma G. Sànchez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary trends in the quantum unification of all interactions including gravity motivate this Course. The main goal and impact of modern string theory is to provide a consistent quantum theory of gravity. This, Course is intended to provide an updated understanding of the last developments and current problems of string theory in connection with gravity and the physics at the Planck energy scale. It is also the aim of this Course to discuss fundamental problems of quantum gravity in the present-day context irrespective of strings or any other models. Emphasis is given to the mutual impact of string theory, gravity and cosmology, within a deep a well defined programme, which provides, in addition, a careful interdisciplinarity. Since the most relevant new physics provided by strings concerns the quantization of gravity, we must, at least, understand string quantization in curved space-times to start. Curved space-times, besides their evident relevance m classical gravitation, are also important at energies of the order of the Planck scale. At the Planck energy, gravitational interactions are at least as important as the rest and can not be neglected anymore. Special care is taken here to provide the grounds of the different lines of research in competition (not just only one approach); this provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the real state of the discipline, and to learn it in a critical way.
Download or read book Big And The Small Vol 2 written by Ganesan Venkataraman and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second part of the two-volume set entitled The Big and the Small. In the earlier volume, Journey into the Microcosm: the Story of Elementary Particles, the story of elementary particle physics was related. In the present volume the author describes how the physics of elementary particles allow us to reconstruct the origin of the universe and its subsequent evolution. Carrying on from the point where volume 1 was concluded, the story of the fascinating quest for the Ultimate Theory (the theory that stands all by itself and does not rest on any other pedestal) is revealed here in the context of the shortcomings of the Standard Model.
