This book was released on 1996 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with the metaphysical foundations of modern physical science, this book demonstrates that not only is classical metaphysics not in conflict with the principles of modern experimental science but that, when analogously transferred to the different divisions of modern science, the metaphysical principle of unity makes intelligible all the laws of modern science. This revolutionary book provides the means for reestablishing the unity of science by interpreting the whole of modern experimental science from the perspective of an analogous transfer of the metaphysical principle of unity rather than in terms of efficient causality.

Download or read book The New International System of Units SI written by Ernst O. Göbel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International System of Units, the SI, provides the foundation for all measurements in science, engineering, economics, and society. The SI has been fundamentally revised in 2019. The new SI is a universal and highly stable unit system based on invariable constants of nature. Its implementation rests on quantum metrology and quantum standards, which base measurements on the manipulation and counting of single quantum objects, such as electrons, photons, ions, and flux quanta. This book explains and illustrates the new SI, its impact on measurements, and the quantum metrology and quantum technology behind it. The book is based on the book ?Quantum Metrology: Foundation of Units and Measurements? by the same authors. From the contents: -Measurement -The SI (Système International d?Unités) -Realization of the SI Second: Thermal Beam Cs Clock, Laser Cooling, and the Cs Fountain Clock -Flux Quanta, Josephson Effect, and the SI Volt -Quantum Hall Effect, the SI Ohm, and the SI Farad -Single-Charge Transfer Devices and the SI Ampere -The SI Kilogram, the Mole, and the Planck constant -The SI Kelvin and the Boltzmann Constant -Beyond the present SI: Optical Clocks and Quantum Radiometry -Outlook

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until 40 years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840 its use has rapidly spread until now it is either obligatory or permissive in practically every civilized country in the world. Its use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures. No organized effort had been made up to time to supply the different countries with authentic copies of the metric prototypes which were preserved in the archives of France. In order to meet the demand for accurate standards whose relation to one another would be known with the highest 'prec1s1on, metric. Conventions were held in Paris in 1870 and 187 2, which were attended by. Official delegates from about 30 countries. At these conferences committees were appointed to investigate the best form and material for the proposed new standards. In 1875 a treaty was signed at Paris by 17 of the principal: nations of the world, the United States being among the number, which provided for the permanent organization of an International Bureau of Weights and Measures under the direction Of an International Committee. The most important work of the International Committee was to provide for the construction of a sufficient number of platinum-iridium meters and kilograms to meet the demand, of the interested nations, The comparison of all these standards. With one another and with the original meter and kilogram was made at the International Bureau Which had been established near Paris-on neutral territory ceded to the International Committee by. The French Government. Following the completion of this work in 1889 a Certain meter and a certain kilogram were selected and adopted as the international prototype standards, dis placing the meter and the kilogram of the archives which had heretofore been regarded as the standards: Prototype meters and kilograms were distributed by lot to the countries signatory to the Convention of 187 The international prototype meter and kilo gram are preserved in a special underground vault at the International Bureau and are accessible only to the International Committee.
