Download or read book The Magick of Physics written by Felix Flicker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning Oxford physicist draws on classic sci-fi, fantasy fiction, and everyday phenomena to explain and celebrate the magical properties of the world around us. If you were to present the feats of modern science to someone from the past, those feats would surely be considered magic. Theoretical physicist Felix Flicker proves that they are indeed magic—just familiar magic. The name for this magic is “condensed matter physics.” Most people haven’t heard of the field, yet more than a third of physicists identify as condensed matter researchers, making it the most active area in the subject—with good reason. Condensed matter is the solids, liquids, and gasses that surround us—and the more exotic matters—which dictate every aspect of our present existence, and hold the keys to a brighter future, from quantum computing to real-life invisibility cloaks. Flicker teases out the magical threads that run through our daily lives. Condensed matter physics allows you to create anything abiding by the laws of reality—and often, we find that those laws can be bent. Flicker explains how to create new particles which never existed before, how to make crystals shoot out such intense light they can cut through metal, how to separate the poles of a magnet. And more. The book’s endearing conceit is that you, the reader, are an aspiring wizard whose ability to cast spells (i.e. to do science) is dependent on your grasp of the fundamentals of our universe. This book contains no equations or charts—instead, it’s full of owls and mountains and infinite libraries, and staffs and wands, and martial arts and mythical islands ruled by sage knot-makers. Part of the book’s magic is that, for all these fanciful trappings, it still feels practical and applicable. The Magick of Physics will open your eyes to the miracles that surround us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book in your hands develops the best traditions of the Russian scientific popular literature. Written in a clear and captivating manner by working theoretical physicists, who are, at the same time, dedicated popularizers of scientific knowledge, it brings to the reader the latest achievements in quantum solid-state physics, but along the way it also shows how the laws of physics reveal themselves even in seemingly trivial episodes concerning the natural phenomena around us. And most importantly, it shows that we live in the world, where scientists are capable of ?proving harmony with algebra?. ? A A Abrikosov, 2003 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics
Download or read book The Physics of Invisibility written by Martin Beech and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability is see is fundamental to our very existence. How true our perceptions really are depends upon many factors, and not least is our understanding of what light is and how it interacts with matter. It was said that the camera, the icon of light recording instruments, never lies, and in the day of the glass plate and celluloid roll-film this might well have been true. But in this modern era, with electronic cameras and computer software, it is often safe to assume that the camera always lies. The advertising images that bombard our every waking moment are manipulated in shape, profile, color, and form. In this new era, light can be manipulated with metamaterials to make one object look like another or even cause that objects to vanish, literally before our eyes; not only can the image we see be manipulated, but so can the light itself.

Download or read book Conversations on the Dark Secrets of Physics written by Wilson Talley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book began over four decades ago when Edward Teller began teaching physics appreciation courses at the University of Chicago. Then, as now, Dr. Teller believes that illiteracy in science is an increasingly great danger to American society, not only for our chil dren but also for our growing adult population. On one hand, the future of every individual on this globe is closely related to science and its applications. Fear of the results of science, which has become prevalent in much of the Western World, leads to mistaken decisions in important political affairs. But this book speaks of no fears and of no decisions-only of the facts that can prevent one of them and indirectly guide the others. From the perspective of this book, a second point is even more vii viii PREFACE significant. The first quarter of this century has seen the most won derful and philosophically most important transformation in our thinking. The intellectual and aesthetic values of the points of view of Einstein and Bohr cannot be overestimated. Nor should they be hidden at the bottom of tons of mathematical rubble. Our young people must be exposed to science both because it is useful and because it is fun. Both of these qualities should be taken at a truly high value.
Download or read book Dispelling Wetiko written by Paul Levy and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a contagious psychospiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, that is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus—which Native Americans have called "wetiko"—covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests. Drawing on insights from Jungian psychology, shamanism, alchemy, spiritual wisdom traditions, and personal experience, author Paul Levy shows us that hidden within the venom of wetiko is its own antidote, which once recognized can help us wake up and bring sanity back to our society.
Download or read book Quantum Sorcery written by Dave Smith and published by Megalithica Books. This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Sorcery is a modern magical system through which an individual can learn to manifest desired effects in the physical world through the exertion of Will, assisted by appropriate symbols and tools. This paradigm incorporates elements from earlier magical systems as well as physics, psychology, mathematics and biology to propose a mechanism by which such an act might occur through means more natural than supernatural. Basic magical principles such as the laws of similarity and contagion are examined alongside the principles of entanglement and entrainment. The application of thermodynamic laws and communication theory to the transmission of magical intent is approached. Examples of ritual workings and the creation of magical constructs are included to display the flexibility of Quantum Sorcery as a stand-alone system, a larger framework in which other types of magic can be practiced, or as a robust set of techniques for those who prefer to assemble their own system of practical sorcery.
Download or read book The Science of Magick written by Joseph Lee Vreeland and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Magick, takes and breaks down every day ritual to quantum theory studies, from understanding the concepts of time itself, gravity and why things happen without seeming to have a reason behind it. It was written to help people understand the laws of the known and the unknown universe and the mundane world. Why things happen that cannot be explained. Through over 30 years of studying quantum mechanics, Quantum movement, Energy manipulation, the psychology of the mind connected to the physical body, the energy flow and movement of the physical body I have been able to place within a single book a well explained not only reason, but a way to perform such actions. Step by step. This Manual will be able to guide you through life in a way you never thought possible. To take and understand everything that we do not know is to take the very universe into the palm of your hand and bend it to your will. Napoleon Hill started it back in the 30's. The law of attraction continued it, but all was with money and lifestyle to minimal health. The Science of Magick takes all forms and places them into one book. To teach the reader that there is way more to life than what is seen, and the unseen does not have to be a scary thing. If we bring ourselves into an understanding of what real actually is, we can bring ourselves into a set of developed ideals to help understand why life goes wrong and how to shift and correct it.
