Book Synopsis Something Deeply Hidden by : Sean Carroll
Download or read book Something Deeply Hidden written by Sean Carroll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As you read these words, copies of you are being created. Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of twentieth-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps—which have come to be simply ignored. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, how impossible it is to understand. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. There are many, many Sean Carrolls. Many of every one of us. Copies of you are generated thousands of times per second. The Many-Worlds theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn't happen. Step-by-step in Carroll's uniquely lucid way, he tackles the major objections to this otherworldly revelation until his case is inescapably established. Rarely does a book so fully reorganize how we think about our place in the universe. We are on the threshold of a new understanding—of where we are in the cosmos, and what we are made of.
Book Synopsis Beyond Time & Space by : Chuck Missler
Download or read book Beyond Time & Space written by Chuck Missler and published by Koinonia House. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there more than four dimensions to physical reality?Is it possible to traverse time as well as space?Is there a reality beyond our traditional concepts of time and space? The startling discovery of modern science is that our physical universe is actually finite. Scientists now acknowledge that the universe had a beginning. They call the singularity from which it all began the "Big Bang." While the detail among the many variants of these theories remain quite controversial, the fact that there was a definite beginning has gained widespread agreement. This is, of course, what the Bible has maintained throughout its 66 books.

Book Synopsis The Mathematical Reality by : Alexander Unzicker
Download or read book The Mathematical Reality written by Alexander Unzicker and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Unzicker is a theoretical physicist and writes about elementary questions of natural philosophy. His critique of contemporary physics Bankrupting Physics (Macmillan) received the 'Science Book of the Year' award (German edition 2010). With The Mathematical Reality, Unzicker presents his most fundamental work to date, which is the result of years of study of natural laws and their historical development.The discovery of fundamental laws of nature has influenced the fate of Homo sapiens more than anything else. Has modern physics already understood these laws? Many puzzles formulated by Albert Einstein or Paul Dirac are still unsolved today, in particular the meaning of fundamental constants. In this book, Unzicker contends that a rational description of nature must do without any constants.A methodological and historical analysis shows, however, that the underlying problem of physics is deep, unexpected and fatal: the concepts of space and time themselves, the basis of science since Newton, could be fundamentally inappropriate for the description of reality, although-or precisely because-they are so easily accessible to human perception.A new understanding of reality can only arise from mathematics. By exploring the three-dimensional unitary sphere, which could replace the concepts of space and time, the author presents a mathematical vision that points the way to a new understanding of reality.

Book Synopsis Air & Light & Time & Space by : Helen Sword
Download or read book Air & Light & Time & Space written by Helen Sword and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Stylish Academic Writing comes an essential new guide for writers aspiring to become more productive and take greater pleasure in their craft. Helen Sword interviewed one hundred academics worldwide about their writing background and practices. Relatively few were trained as writers, she found, and yet all have developed strategies to thrive in their publish-or-perish environment. So how do these successful academics write, and where do they find the “air and light and time and space,” in the words of poet Charles Bukowski, to get their writing done? What are their formative experiences, their daily routines, their habits of mind? How do they summon up the courage to take intellectual risks and the resilience to deal with rejection? Sword identifies four cornerstones that anchor any successful writing practice: Behavioral habits of discipline and persistence; Artisanal habits of craftsmanship and care; Social habits of collegiality and collaboration; and Emotional habits of positivity and pleasure. Building on this “BASE,” she illuminates the emotional complexity of the writing process and exposes the lack of writing support typically available to early-career academics. She also lays to rest the myth that academics must produce safe, conventional prose or risk professional failure. The successful writers profiled here tell stories of intellectual passions indulged, disciplinary conventions subverted, and risk-taking rewarded. Grounded in empirical research and focused on sustainable change, Air & Light & Time & Space offers a customizable blueprint for refreshing personal habits and creating a collegial environment where all writers can flourish.
Download or read book Knowledge In Motion written by Jan Nespor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using an analysis of learning by a case study comparison of two undergraduate courses at a United States University, Nespor examines the way in which education and power merge in physics and management. Through this study of politics and practices of knowledge, he explains how students, once accepted on these courses, are facilitated on a path to power; physics and management being core disciplines in modern society. Taking strands from constructivist psychology, post-modern geography, actor-network theory and feminist sociology, this book develops a theoretical language for analysing the production and use of knowledge. He puts forward the idea that learning, usually viewed as a process of individual minds and groups in face-to-face interaction, is actually a process of activities organised across space and time and how organisations of space and time are produced in social practice.; Within this context educational courses are viewed as networks of a larger whole, and individual courses are points in the network which link a wider relationship by way of texts, tasks and social practices intersecting with them. The book shows how students enrolled on such courses automatically become part of a network of power and knowledge.
Book Synopsis Time and Space in Literacy Research by : Catherine Compton-Lilly
Download or read book Time and Space in Literacy Research written by Catherine Compton-Lilly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy researchers interested in how specific sites of learning situate students and the ways they make sense of their worlds are asking new questions and thinking in new ways about how time and space operate as contextual dimensions in the learning lives of students, teachers, and families. These investigations inform questions related to history, identity, methodology, in-school and out-of school spaces, and local/global literacies. An engaging blend of methodological, theoretical, and empirical work featuring well-known researchers on the topic, this book provides a conceptual framework for extending existing conceptions of context and provides unique and ground-breaking examples of empirical research.
Book Synopsis Internet Communication in Six Classrooms by : Ruth Garner
Download or read book Internet Communication in Six Classrooms written by Ruth Garner and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about communication. The authors tell half a dozen stories about teachers and students who, because of recent advances in telecommunications, are able to move ideas back and forth across time, space, and culture. All of this is quite remarkable -- not the electronic "handshaking" and movement of bits of information, but the intensely social activity that this technology supports. Young children learn to provide enough detail to make unfamiliar ideas comprehensible to other children thousands of miles away, and adolescents are able to tailor their language so that it is informal and engaging and still useful in persuading peers of the greater legitimacy of one or two competing claims. Teachers swap accounts of classroom triumphs and failures -- and even discuss basic beliefs about teaching and learning -- with relative strangers. Each of the six stories told here makes it clear that teachers and students are attempting to connect, often across considerable geographic and cultural distances. They are informing, entertaining, and persuading, and as they use computers to accomplish all sorts of social purposes, they belie the stereotype of computer users as isolates relating to machines, but not to other people. The connections made are both similar to and different from non-electronic connections. Many of the conversations -- full of wit, intimacy, grace, fear, bias, and joy -- could have occurred on the playground or at the mall. What is quite different, however, is that children in Joliet, Illinois seldom meet Yup'ik Eskimo children on the playground, and adolescents going to the mall near rural La Center, Washington rarely meet peers with a wide range of experiences and diverse views on such topics as gays in the military or evolution. Teachers, who spend most of their days in isolation from other adults, seldom find colleagues with whom they can talk openly about teaching. Children, adolescents, and adults have an opportunity to make contact on the Internet with persons who they simply would not encounter otherwise. It can be a formidable cognitive task to encounter someone else's experiences indirectly and attempt to understand them. Each of the teachers in this volume is providing extended opportunities for students to learn to do just that. Each of the six teachers featured in this volume is a quite extraordinary educator working in a rather ordinary setting. Their conversations about conceptions and actions, and their reflections about their own practice sit at the core of this book. Each has agreed to continue conversations with the authors, with each other, and with readers. E-mail and web addresses are listed in the book.
