Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances made by physicists in understanding matter, space, and time and by astronomers in understanding the universe as a whole have closely intertwined the question being asked about the universe at its two extremesâ€"the very large and the very small. This report identifies 11 key questions that have a good chance to be answered in the next decade. It urges that a new research strategy be created that brings to bear the techniques of both astronomy and sub-atomic physics in a cross-disciplinary way to address these questions. The report presents seven recommendations to facilitate the necessary research and development coordination. These recommendations identify key priorities for future scientific projects critical for realizing these scientific opportunities.

Download or read book A Matter of Time written by Galen Woodward and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clocks and calendars rule our lives, and while time is constant, life is anything but linear. The Greeks talked about time in two ways. Chronos means measurable time. Kairos means understanding the value of a moment. As the clock ticks by, it's vital you find meaningful moments to hug your toddler, laugh with school-aged child, or have a deep conversation with your teenager. Paul encourages us in Ephesians to make the most of our time, being proactive with every minute we have. The principles in this book will help you develop skills you need to build meaningful relationships with your children, no matter where they are in life. By building on foundational principles such as consistency and intentionality, and modeling leadership values such as honor, courage, and vision, you will position your children to ultimately change their world. Remember, time is free, but it is precious. Master your time and you will master your life.
Download or read book Why Things Matter to People written by Andrew Sayer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Sayer undertakes a fundamental critique of social science's difficulties in acknowledging that people's relation to the world is one of concern. As sentient beings, capable of flourishing and suffering, and particularly vulnerable to how others treat us, our view of the world is substantially evaluative. Yet modernist ways of thinking encourage the common but extraordinary belief that values are beyond reason, and merely subjective or matters of convention, with little or nothing to do with the kind of beings people are, the quality of their social relations, their material circumstances or well-being. The author shows how social theory and philosophy need to change to reflect the complexity of everyday ethical concerns and the importance people attach to dignity. He argues for a robustly critical social science that explains and evaluates social life from the standpoint of human flourishing.
Download or read book Time Matters written by Andrew Abbott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-07-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do variables really tell us? When exactly do inventions occur? Why do we always miss turning points as they transpire? When does what doesn't happen mean as much, if not more, than what does? Andrew Abbott considers these fascinating questions in Time Matters, a diverse series of essays that constitutes the most extensive analysis of temporality in social science today. Ranging from abstract theoretical reflection to pointed methodological critique, Abbott demonstrates the inevitably theoretical character of any methodology. Time Matters focuses particularly on questions of time, events, and causality. Abbott grounds each essay in straightforward examinations of actual social scientific analyses. Throughout, he demonstrates the crucial assumptions we make about causes and events, about actors and interaction and about time and meaning every time we employ methods of social analysis, whether in academic disciplines, market research, public opinion polling, or even evaluation research. Turning current assumptions on their heads, Abbott not only outlines the theoretical orthodoxies of empirical social science, he sketches new alternatives, laying down foundations for a new body of social theory.

Download or read book The Matter with Things written by Iain McGilchrist and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the world essentially inert and mechanical - nothing but a collection of things for us to use? Are we ourselves nothing but the playthings of chance, embroiled in a war of all against all? Why, indeed, are we engaged in destroying everything that is valuable to us? Whitehead observed that philosophy is of urgent importance because 'as we think, we live.' This book argues that if we are wreaking havoc on ourselves and the world, and if our best intentions lead to paradoxical outcomes, it is because we have become mesmerised by a mechanistic, reductionist way of thinking, the product of a brain system which evolved not to help us understand, but merely to manipulate the world: that of the left hemisphere. We have become blind to what the subtler, more intelligent and more perceptive right hemisphere sees. Consequently we no longer seem to have the faintest idea who we are, what the world is, or how we relate to it. Indeed there is a sense in which we no longer live in a world at all, but exist in a simulacrum of our own making. This book offers a vitally necessary and radically new vision, one that is rigorously based in the science of the brain, deeply grounded in philosophy and sustained by the most up-to-date findings of physics: a vision that inverts common assumptions about what matters; sees the whole, not just the parts; and helps us break out of the hall of mirrors. In doing so it must attempt the hardest, because most fundamental, questions of all: what can we say of time, space, motion, matter, consciousness, purpose, value and the existence or otherwise of a God? The resulting world-picture is not just consistent across different disciplines, but happens to be in line with the deepest traditions of human wisdom. It is to this 'unconcealing' of a world that is rich, complex and beautiful that the reader is invited. If we are to survive - and for our survival even to matter - w need to become aware of what is, at a fundamental level, the matter with things.
Download or read book Probability in Physics written by Andy Lawrence and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook presents an introduction to the use of probability in physics, treating introductory ideas of both statistical physics and of statistical inference, as well the importance of probability in information theory, quantum mechanics, and stochastic processes, in a unified manner. The book also presents a harmonised view of frequentist and Bayesian approaches to inference, emphasising their complementary value. The aim is to steer a middle course between the "cookbook" style and an overly dry mathematical statistics style. The treatment is driven by real physics examples throughout, but developed with a level of mathematical clarity and rigour appropriate to mid-career physics undergraduates. Exercises and solutions are included.
Download or read book Space time matter written by Paul S. Wesson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein endorsed the view of Kaluza that gravity could be combined with electromagnetism if the dimensionality of the world is extended from 4 to 5. Klein applied this idea to quantum theory, laying a basis for the various modern versions of string theory. Recently, work by a group of researchers has resulted in a coherent formulation of 5D relativity, in which matter in 4D is induced by geometry in 5D. This theory is based on an unrestricted group of 5D coordinate transformations that leads to new solutions and agreement with the classical tests of relativity. This book collects together the main technical results on 5D relativity, and shows how far we can realize Einstein''s vision of physics as geometry.

Download or read book The Large Scale Structure of Space Time written by S. W. Hawking and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1975-02-27 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known laws of physics break down. They will occur inside black holes, and in the past are what might be construed as the beginning of the universe. To show how these predictions arise, the authors discuss the General Theory of Relativity in the large. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in this 1973 book.
