Showing results for "Every" in Physics

The Quantum Rules applies the laws of physics to explain everything from relationships and human nature to the effects of globalization. It achieves the impossible task of making quantum physics deeply relevant to all listeners - even those with no interest in science. With a lively and engaging tone, author Kunal Das ponders the underlying truths and patterns in our shared and common life experiences, using insights derived from the fundamental laws of physics.

Hosted by astrophysicist Jennifer and science journalist Inara, Advanced Physics in Everyday Language unpacks some of the most complex ideas in modern physics — from general relativity to quantum mechanics, string theory, the timescape model, and beyond — and explains them in ways that are both intellectually rigorous and refreshingly clear. Designed for curious minds with no formal background in physics, each weekly episode takes a single theory or concept and breaks it down using real-world analogies, stories, and simple language — without dumbing it down

How does soap know what's dirt? How do magnets work? Why do ice cubes crackle in your glass? And how can you keep them quiet? These are questions that torment us all. Now Robert L. Wolke, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, provides definitive - and amazingly simple - explanations for the mysteries of everyday life.

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to reality than meets the eye? Imagine a universe where a single particle can be in two places at once, where two objects separated by light-years remain mysteriously linked, and where the very act of watching can change what unfolds. This may sound like the plot of a science fiction novel, but it is the astonishing world revealed by quantum physics—a realm that continues to surprise even the scientists who study it. The Quantum World Explained takes you on a clear, accessible journey into this hidden layer of reality.

Discover the wonder of Quantum Physics and its application in technology, science, and human consciousness—even if science has never been your strength. In this book you'll learn the Quantum principles we rely on in our day-to-day lives and how they impact human health and well-being.

Physics informs our understanding of how the world works - but more than that, key breakthroughs in physics have transformed everyday life. We journey back to 10 separate days in history to understand how particular breakthroughs were achieved, meet the individuals responsible and see how each breakthrough has influenced our lives.

In a world defined by rapid change and mounting uncertainty, it's easy to feel unmoored or unsure of how to move forward. This book offers scientific and experiential insights to navigate such times through the interconnected domains of mind, body, and world. It moves beyond a collection of facts to uncover the deeper foundations of coherence and understanding.

From adrenaline to dopamine, most of us are familiar with the chemicals that control us. They are the hormones and neurotransmitters that our brains run on, and Overloaded looks at the role they play in every aspect of our lives, from what we remember, how we make decisions and who we love to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.

Our brains evolved to solve the survival problems of our Stone Age ancestors, so when faced with modern-day situations that are less extreme, they often encounter a mismatch. Our primitive brains put us on the wrong foot by responding to stimuli that - in prehistoric times - would have prompted behaviour that was beneficial. If you've ever felt an anxious fight-or-flight response to a presenting at a board meeting, equivalent to facing imminent death by sabre-toothed tiger, then you have experienced a mismatch.

Are you seeking a deeper understanding of consciousness? Are you interested in meditation or currently practicing meditation? The Buddha and the Quantum is about the connection between meditation and physics. Many books show parallels between consciousness and physics; a few of these attempt to explain consciousness in terms of the physics of everyday experience. This is the only book that explains physics and the everyday world in terms of consciousness alone.

A New Scientist Best Popular Science Book of 2023 How seeing Earth through the eyes of an astronaut brings new wonder and meaning to life on our planet. One stifling summer night, the poet and journalist Marjolijn van Heemstra lay awake, unable to sleep—like so many of us feeling anxious and...

Our intuition about how things should behave is usually right in the everyday world. We see the baseball soar in the air, arc, drop, and lie stationary on the ground. Through data gathered by our senses and basic knowledge of the laws of classical mechanics, the motion of a ball makes perfect sense. But enter the world of the tiniest particles on earth—the motion of electrons, the shapes of molecules—and everything we think we know about the world radically changes.

The Collected Writings of Edward Leedskalnin is a compilation of two of Leedskalnin's works, Magnetic Current and A Book in Every Home. This eccentric sculptor and amateur scientist devoted most of his life to creating a large complex of megalithic stones that he quarried and carved himself.

From Beethoven's connection to plumbing to why rotten eggs smell like sulfur, the technical explanations included in this scientific primer tackle 99 chemistry-related questions and provide answers designed to inform and entertain. What jewelry metal is prohibited in some European countries? What does Miss Piggy have to do with the World Cup? How can a cockroach be removed from a human ear? The quirky information offered incorporates scientific savvy, practical advice, and amusing anecdotes.

No grammar tests. No memory drills. No chance of failure. Improve your everyday French speaking and listening skills by following typical, fun conversations and practising what you hear in the dialogues. Ideal preparation for travelling to France and French-speaking countries.

Most people have heard about quantum physics and its remarkable, well-nigh bizarre claims. And most people would assume that quantum reality describes a world quite different from ours. In this book, David A. Grandy shows that one can find quantum puzzles, or variations thereof, in the backyard of everyday experience.
