by Leong Chuan Kwek, Simone Severini & Haibin Su

This volume mainly summarizes the invited talks presented at the 5th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Quantum Information Science (APWQIS) in conjunction with a Festschrift in honor of Professor Vladimir Korepin's 60th...

The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

by Isaac Newton

First published in 1687, "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", often referred to as simply the "Principia",  is a work in three books by Isaac Newton. 

"The Mathematical Principles of Natural...

The foundation of the generalized theory of relativity

by Albert Einstein

The theory which is sketched in the following pages forms the most wide-going generalization conceivable of what is at present known as "the theory of Relativity;" this latter theory I differentiate from the...

Newton's Principia

by Sir Isaac Newton

It was Isaac Newton's Principia that founded the law of universal gravitation on 5th July 1687. It is the same principia that inspired Albert Einstein into formulating the Einstein field equations (the general...

Relativity

by Albert Einstein

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the...

The Jazz of Physics

by Stephon Alexander

A spectacular musical and scientific journey from the Bronx to the cosmic horizon that reveals the astonishing links between jazz, science, Einstein, and Coltrane

More than fifty years ago, John Coltrane drew...

The Andre Norton Collection

by André Norton & Steppenwolf Press

Andre Norton was the first woman to be Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy and the first woman to be SFWA Grand Master. There isn't really anything else that needs to be said...

The Andre Norton Collection brings...

Galilei and Einstein

by Santo Armenia

We had studied Einstein’s Theory of General relativity starting from elementary phenomena, together with the Galileo`s principle on free fall of bodies that represent his precondition. We underlined the discrepancy...

General Relativity

by Michael J W Hall

This book is based on a set of 18 class-tested lectures delivered to fourth-year physics undergraduates at Griffith University in Brisbane, and the book presents new discoveries by the Nobel-prize winning...

The Theory of Relativity and its Influence on Scientific Thought

by Arthur Eddington

p"Every one now admits that the Ptolemaic system, which regarded the earth as the centre of all things, belongs to the dark ages. But to our dismay we have discovered that the same geocentric outlook still permeates...

Gravity's Mysteries

by Louis Komzsik

Gravity is the most detectable physical phenomenon of the universe. Nothing or nobody can escape its grasp, even in very large, astronomical distances. It is manifested in many aspects of our lives. Yet we are...

On Gravity

by A. Zee

A brief introduction to gravity through Einstein’s general theory of relativity

Of the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate....

Gravitational Waves

by Brian Clegg

Until then, investigation of the universe had depended on electromagnetic radiation: visible light, radio, X-rays and the rest. But gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space and time – are unrelenting,...

The Tai Chi in Star Formation

by Hua-bai Li

Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how 'to conquer the unyielding with the yielding.' The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction...

The Little Book of Black Holes

by Steven S. Gubser & Frans Pretorius

Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holes

Black holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public...

Why Did That Apple Fall on My Head? | Children's Physics of Energy

by Baby Professor

Do you know the famous story of how Isaac Newton discovered gravity? We're going to use the same concept to teach the little ones about Newton’s discovery. Since we are teaching young minds, it is very important...

What Will Hit the Ground First? | Children's Physics of Energy

by Baby Professor

Physics is already a difficult subject to tackle for adults; what more if it were taught to children? The key is to use interesting materials that contain age-appropriate lessons. This is one of those books....

Gravity: A Very Short Introduction

by Timothy Clifton

Gravity is one of the four fundamental interactions that exist in nature. It also has the distinction of being the oldest, weakest, and most difficult force to quantize. Understanding gravity is not only essential...

I Like To Move It! Physical Science Book for Kids - Newton's Laws of Motion | Children's Physics Book

by Professor Beaver

If you’re playing basketball, that’s science in action! Science is all around us and in everything that we do this even more true for basketball. Issac Newton explains the concept of Motion in Physical Science...
