Book excerpt: A broken pilot falls for a man who might be a walking weapon. They may need to save far more than each other. A mysterious distress call draws the crew of the Hermes to what appears to be an empty, drifting ship. Empty, except for the gore-spattered corridors and one survivor locked in a holding cell. Drawn to the traumatized man, the crew's comm officer, Isaac Ozawa, makes Turk his responsibility, offering him kindness and warmth after the horror he experienced. Turk longs for Isaac, a desperate, hopeless ache he'll always carry with him. But Turk's brain harbors dangerous secrets, a military experiment gone wrong. When an amoral, power-hungry admiral kidnaps Isaac to convince Turk to become the weapon he's hungered for, it will take Turk's strength, the Hermes crew's ingenuity, the enigmatic Drak'tar's help, and Isaac's own stubborn will to save them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the basic concepts of space mechanics. These include vector kinematics in three dimensions; Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation; relative motion; the vector-based solution of the classical two-body problem; derivation of Kepler’s equations; orbits in three dimensions; preliminary orbit determination; and orbital maneuvers. The book also covers relative motion and the two-impulse rendezvous problem; interplanetary mission design using patched conics; rigid-body dynamics used to characterize the attitude of a space vehicle; satellite attitude dynamics; and the characteristics and design of multi-stage launch vehicles. Each chapter begins with an outline of key concepts and concludes with problems that are based on the material covered. This text is written for undergraduates who are studying orbital mechanics for the first time and have completed courses in physics, dynamics, and mathematics, including differential equations and applied linear algebra. Graduate students, researchers, and experienced practitioners will also find useful review materials in the book. NEW: Reorganized and improved discusions of coordinate systems, new discussion on perturbations and quarternions NEW: Increased coverage of attitude dynamics, including new Matlab algorithms and examples in chapter 10 New examples and homework problems

Download or read book Feynman Lectures On Gravitation written by Richard Feynman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a useful record of his viewpoints and some of his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.Characteristically, Feynman took an untraditional non-geometric approach to gravitation and general relativity based on the underlying quantum aspects of gravity. Hence, these lectures contain a unique pedagogical account of the development of Einstein's general theory of relativity as the inevitable result of the demand for a self-consistent theory of a massless spin-2 field (the graviton) coupled to the energy-momentum tensor of matter. This approach also demonstrates the intimate and fundamental connection between gauge invariance and the principle of equivalence.

Download or read book The Mystery of Gravitational Attraction written by Juris Bogdanovs and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In short, clearly, this book is about the Gravitational Attraction and Anti-gravity. However, here I am also addressing some topics that are seemingly only vaguely related to it. But they are! One of them is the possibly true essence of Vacuum, which might be completely different from what science thinks about it today. And I will provide suggestion for experiment to test it! Another topic concerns the question about why do planes fly. Turns out, there is one thing that has avoided scientists and hasn't been fully answered yet. Yes, there is a mystery still! And yes, the ideas about Gravitational Attraction and Vacuum (as they are interpreted in this book) will be very important in explaining that problem with all flying objects too! Readers should be aware that despite the fact that we have several ideas explaining (trying to explain) Gravity, they still have multiple and very serious flaws. All of them are addressed in this book along with a new hypothesis that would explain absolutely everything we observe with respect to the phenomenon we all call Gravity. I believe that the right way to address this phenomenon is to call it the Gravitational Attraction. In this book you will find answered all those questions about Gravity current models are failing to. Some of those questions are these: 1)Why is Gravity such a weak force?, 2)Why Gravity only attracts?, 3) Why and how Gravity attracts the non-magnetic objects and substances? The Laws of Nature leading to Gravitational Attraction might be simpler than we currently think about them, and that can be experimentally tested... Ideas for those tests are described in this book.

Download or read book Einstein Was Right written by Jed Z. Buchwald and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational waves In 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large masses—as part of the theory of general relativity. A century later, researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed Einstein's prediction, detecting gravitational waves generated by the collision of two black holes. Shedding new light on the hundred-year history of this momentous achievement, Einstein Was Right brings together essays by two of the physicists who won the Nobel Prize for their instrumental roles in the discovery, along with contributions by leading scholars who offer unparalleled insights into one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of our time. This illuminating book features an introduction by Tilman Sauer and invaluable firsthand perspectives on the history and significance of the LIGO consortium by physicists Barry Barish and Kip Thorne. Theoretical physicist Alessandra Buonanno discusses the new possibilities opened by gravitational wave astronomy, and sociologist of science Harry Collins and historians of science Diana Kormos Buchwald, Daniel Kennefick, and Jürgen Renn provide further insights into the history of relativity and LIGO. The book closes with a reflection by philosopher Don Howard on the significance of Einstein's theory for the philosophy of science. Edited by Jed Buchwald, Einstein Was Right is a compelling and thought-provoking account of one of the most thrilling scientific discoveries of the modern age.
