Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory of radiation is reviewed. A proof is offered to show that a sum of advanced and retarded effects from the absorber can provide the origin of radiative reaction. This proof is different from and perhaps simpler than that of Wheeler and Feynman. From arguments of momentum and energy conservation the necessity of the absorber for the emission of radiation is demonstrated for three cases. (Author).

Book Synopsis Feynman's Thesis by : Richard Phillips Feynman
Download or read book Feynman's Thesis written by Richard Phillips Feynman and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Feynman's never previously published doctoral thesis formed the heart of much of his brilliant and profound work in theoretical physics. Entitled ?The Principle of Least Action in Quantum Mechanics," its original motive was to quantize the classical action-at-a-distance electrodynamics. Because that theory adopted an overall space?time viewpoint, the classical Hamiltonian approach used in the conventional formulations of quantum theory could not be used, so Feynman turned to the Lagrangian function and the principle of least action as his points of departure.The result was the path integral approach, which satisfied ? and transcended ? its original motivation, and has enjoyed great success in renormalized quantum field theory, including the derivation of the ubiquitous Feynman diagrams for elementary particles. Path integrals have many other applications, including atomic, molecular, and nuclear scattering, statistical mechanics, quantum liquids and solids, Brownian motion, and noise theory. It also sheds new light on fundamental issues like the interpretation of quantum theory because of its new overall space?time viewpoint.The present volume includes Feynman's Princeton thesis, the related review article ?Space?Time Approach to Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics? [Reviews of Modern Physics 20 (1948), 367?387], Paul Dirac's seminal paper ?The Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics'' [Physikalische Zeitschrift der Sowjetunion, Band 3, Heft 1 (1933)], and an introduction by Laurie M Brown.

Book Synopsis The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics by : Ruth E. Kastner
Download or read book The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics written by Ruth E. Kastner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exposition of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics (TI), this book sheds new light on longstanding problems in quantum theory and provides insight into the compatibility of TI with relativity. It breaks new ground in interpreting quantum theory, presenting a compelling new picture of quantum reality. The book shows how TI can be used to solve the measurement problem of quantum mechanics and explain other puzzles, such as the origin of the 'Born Rule' for the probabilities of measurement results. It addresses and resolves various objections and challenges to TI, such as Maudlin's inconsistency challenge. It explicitly extends TI into the relativistic domain, providing new insight into the basic compatibility of TI with relativity and the physical meaning of 'virtual particles'. This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students interested in the philosophy of physics and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Time by : Craig Callender
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Time written by Craig Callender and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the study of time has flourished in the physical and human sciences, the philosophy of time has come into its own as a lively and diverse area of academic research. Philosophers investigate not just the metaphysics of time, and our experience and representation of time, but the role of time in ethics and action, and philosophical issues in the sciences of time, especially with regard to quantum mechanics and relativity theory. This Handbook presents twenty-three specially written essays by leading figures in their fields: it is the first comprehensive collaborative study of the philosophy of time, and will set the agenda for future work.
Book Synopsis Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality by : Mathias Frisch
Download or read book Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality written by Mathias Frisch and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrodynamics has largely been ignored by philosophers of science due to what Mathias Frisch says is a mistaken view that it is conceptually unproblematic. Part of the goal of this book is to show that classical physics, while successful in describing phenomena, has some very interesting conceptual problems worth discussing. The other goal of the book is to argue that the theory electrodynamics, a core theory of modern physics and one that's widely held, leaves out some important aspects of scientific theorizing, namely that the notion that consistency is over-valued, and that an inconsistent theory can still be successful.

Book Synopsis The Quantum Labyrinth by : Paul Halpern
Download or read book The Quantum Labyrinth written by Paul Halpern and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the unlikely friendship between the two physicists who fundamentally recast the notion of time and history In 1939, Richard Feynman, a brilliant graduate of MIT, arrived in John Wheeler's Princeton office to report for duty as his teaching assistant. A lifelong friendship and enormously productive collaboration was born, despite sharp differences in personality. The soft-spoken Wheeler, though conservative in appearance, was a raging nonconformist full of wild ideas about the universe. The boisterous Feynman was a cautious physicist who believed only what could be tested. Yet they were complementary spirits. Their collaboration led to a complete rethinking of the nature of time and reality. It enabled Feynman to show how quantum reality is a combination of alternative, contradictory possibilities, and inspired Wheeler to develop his landmark concept of wormholes, portals to the future and past. Together, Feynman and Wheeler made sure that quantum physics would never be the same again.

Book Synopsis Lectures On Cosmology And Action-at-a-distance Electrodynamics by : Fred Hoyle
Download or read book Lectures On Cosmology And Action-at-a-distance Electrodynamics written by Fred Hoyle and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-07-03 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the subject of electrodynamics at classical as well as quantum level, developed as an interaction at a distance. Thus it has electric charges interacting with one another directly and not through the medium of a field. In general such an interaction travels forward and backward in time symmetrically, thus apparently violating the principle of causality. It turns out, however, that in such a description the cosmological boundary conditions become very important. The theory therefore works only in a cosmology with the right boundary conditions; but when it does work it is free from the divergences that plague a quantum field theory.

Book Synopsis The Quantum Vacuum by : Peter W. Milonni
Download or read book The Quantum Vacuum written by Peter W. Milonni and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern physics, the classical vacuum of tranquil nothingness has been replaced by a quantum vacuum with fluctuations of measurable consequence. In The Quantum Vacuum, Peter Milonni describes the concept of the vacuum in quantum physics with an emphasis on quantum electrodynamics. He elucidates in depth and detail the role of the vacuum electromagnetic field in spontaneous emission, the Lamb shift, van der Waals, and Casimir forces, and a variety of other phenomena, some of which are of technological as well as purely scientific importance. This informative text also provides an introduction based on fundamental vacuum processes to the ideas of relativistic quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory, including renormalization and Feynman diagrams. Experimental as well as theoreticalaspects of the quantum vacuum are described, and in most cases details of mathematical derivations are included. Chapter 1 of The Quantum Vacuum - published in advance in The American Journal of Physics (1991)-was later selected by readers as one of the Most Memorable papers ever published in the 60-year history of the journal. This chapter provides anexcellent beginning of the book, introducing a wealth of information of historical interest, the results of which are carefully woven into subsequent chapters to form a coherent whole. - Does not assume that the reader has taken advanced graduate courses, making the text accessible to beginning graduate students - Emphasizes the basic physical ideas rather than the formal, mathematical aspects of the subject - Provides a careful and thorough treatment of Casimir and van der Waals forces at a level of detail not found in any other book on this topic - Clearly presents mathematical derivations
