Book Synopsis Ubiquitous Relativity by : Ian Winer
Download or read book Ubiquitous Relativity written by Ian Winer and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not one truth fits all sizes. Seven billion people on one planet, each living in their own universe. One man's journey from West Point to Wall Street to Anonymity asking the Everlasting Question: How can I gain a greater sense of purpose in life through an improved connection to other people? In Ubiquitous Relativity: My Truth is Not the Truth, Ian Winer's philosophy lays a fresh roadmap for anyone searching for a more meaningful life by examining the senses and emotions unique to each of us and challenging our long-held beliefs about the world and everyone in it by pausing on our own judgements. Ian invites each of us to take a leap of faith into the unknown, the uncomfortable, and the unfamiliar. Revealing how surviving an abusive household in childhood incorrectly informed him of a world that was limited and confinedƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚]ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚] in confronting his own truth, he opened up to the possibilities that everyone possesses their own truth revealing the twofold illusion of universality. The first illusion is that people sense the world in exactly the same way. The second illusion is that people react emotionally to those senses in precisely the same expectation. Ubiquitous Relativity considers a less conventional way, yet simplistic testament, to make a difference in the world - a world that can be less frightening and more hopeful.

Book Synopsis Relativistic Electronic Structure Theory by :
Download or read book Relativistic Electronic Structure Theory written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-03-05 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of relativistic electronic structure theory is generally not part of theoretical chemistry education, and is therefore not covered in most quantum chemistry textbooks. This is due to the fact that only in the last two decades have we learned about the importance of relativistic effects in the chemistry of heavy and superheavy elements. Developments in computer hardware together with sophisticated computer algorithms make it now possible to perform four-component relativistic calculations for larger molecules. Two-component and scalar all-electron relativistic schemes are also becoming part of standard ab-initio and density functional program packages for molecules and the solid state. The second volume of this two-part book series is therefore devoted to applications in this area of quantum chemistry and physics of atoms, molecules and the solid state. Part 1 was devoted to fundamental aspects of relativistic electronic structure theory whereas Part 2 covers more of the applications side. This volume opens with a section on the Chemistry of the Superheavy Elements and contains chapters dealing with Accurate Relativistic Fock-Space Calculations for Many-Electron Atoms, Accurate Relativistic Calculations Including QED, Parity-Violation Effects in Molecules, Accurate Determination of Electric Field Gradients for Heavy Atoms and Molecules, Two-Component Relativistic Effective Core Potential Calculations for Molecules, Relativistic Ab-Initio Model Potential Calculations for Molecules and Embedded Clusters, Relativistic Pseudopotential Calculations for Electronic Excited States, Relativistic Effects on NMR Chemical Shifts, Relativistic Density Functional Calculations on Small Molecules, Quantum Chemistry with the Douglas-Kroll-Hess Approach to Relativistic Density Functional Theory, and Relativistic Solid State Calculations.- Comprehensive publication which focuses on new developments in relativistic quantum electronic structure theory- Many leaders from the field of theoretical chemistry have contributed to the TCC series- Will no doubt become a standard text for scientists in this field.
Book Synopsis Euler's Formula and Special Relativity by : Dr. Thomas Stark
Download or read book Euler's Formula and Special Relativity written by Dr. Thomas Stark and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are space and time? Where do they come from? How are they possible? The answer lies in the most important and powerful equation ever discovered: Euler's Formula. This extraordinary formula is the basis of eternal existence. It furnishes the building blocks of reality. It not only explains the pre-time, pre-space domain that produces the Big Bang universe, it also solves the intractable problem of Cartesian dualism by showing exactly how mind produces matter. As we demonstrate mathematically, Euler's Formula is the true basis of Einstein's special theory of relativity, and the all-important Lorentz transformations. Euler's Formula reveals the exact difference between Einstein's relativity and Lorentz's relativity, and shows how they can be reconciled via a higher level of theory. Reality is nothing like what it seems. Do you want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes? Are you ready for the ride of your life? Are you ready to discover the true secrets of reality?
Book Synopsis The Geometry of Special Relativity by : Tevian Dray
Download or read book The Geometry of Special Relativity written by Tevian Dray and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book presents a particularly beautiful way of looking at special relativity. The author encourages students to see beyond the formulas to the deeper structure. The unification of space and time introduced by Einstein’s special theory of relativity is one of the cornerstones of the modern scientific description of the universe. Yet the unification is counterintuitive because we perceive time very differently from space. Even in relativity, time is not just another dimension, it is one with different properties The book treats the geometry of hyperbolas as the key to understanding special relativity. The author simplifies the formulas and emphasizes their geometric content. Many important relations, including the famous relativistic addition formula for velocities, then follow directly from the appropriate (hyperbolic) trigonometric addition formulas. Prior mastery of (ordinary) trigonometry is sufficient for most of the material presented, although occasional use is made of elementary differential calculus, and the chapter on electromagnetism assumes some more advanced knowledge. Changes to the Second Edition The treatment of Minkowski space and spacetime diagrams has been expanded. Several new topics have been added, including a geometric derivation of Lorentz transformations, a discussion of three-dimensional spacetime diagrams, and a brief geometric description of "area" and how it can be used to measure time and distance. Minor notational changes were made to avoid conflict with existing usage in the literature. Table of Contents Preface 1. Introduction. 2. The Physics of Special Relativity. 3. Circle Geometry. 4.

Book Synopsis Relativity in Rotating Frames by : G. Rizzi
Download or read book Relativity in Rotating Frames written by G. Rizzi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if the subject is a long-standing one, this is the first monograph on this field. On the one hand, this book is intended to give a rather wide review on this field, both in a historical and pedagogical perspective; on the other hand, it aims at critically re-examining and discussing the most controversial issues. For instance, according to some authors the celebrated Sagnac effect is a disproval of the theory of relativity applied to rotating frames; according to others, it is an astonishing experimental evidence of the relativistic theory. In order to give the reader a deeper insight into this research field, the contributing authors discuss their opinions on the main subjects in an enthralling virtual round table: in this way, the reader can get a direct comparison of the various viewpoints on the most controversial and interesting topics. This is particularly expedient, since the differences in the various approaches are often based upon subtleties that can be understood only by a direct comparison of the underlying hypotheses.

Book Synopsis The Dialectics of Exile by : Sophia A. McClennen
Download or read book The Dialectics of Exile written by Sophia A. McClennen and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of exile literature is as old as the history of writing itself. Despite this vast and varied literary tradition, criticism of exile writing has tended to analyze these works according to a binary logic, where exile either produces creative freedom or it traps the writer in restrictive nostalgia. The Dialectics of Exile: Nation, Time, Language and Space in Hispanic Literatures offers a theory of exile writing that accounts for the persistence of these dual impulses and for the ways that they often co-exist within the same literary works. Focusing on writers working in the latter part of the twentieth century who were exiled during a historical moment of increasing globalization, transnational economics, and the theoretical shifts of postmodernism, Sophia A. McClennen proposes that exile literature is best understood as a series of dialectic tensions about cultural identity. Through comparative analysis of Juan Goytisolo (Spain), Ariel Dorfman (Chile) and Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), this book explores how these writers represent exile identity. Each chapter addresses dilemmas central to debates over cultural identity such as nationalism versus globalization, time as historical or cyclical, language as representationally accurate or disconnected from reality, and social space as utopic or dystopic. McClennen demonstrates how the complex writing of these three authors functions as an alternative discourse of cultural identity that not only challenges official versions imposed by authoritarian regimes, but also tests the limits of much cultural criticism.
Book Synopsis A Pluralist Theory of the Mind by : David Ludwig
Download or read book A Pluralist Theory of the Mind written by David Ludwig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges common debates in philosophy of mind by questioning the framework of placement problems in contemporary metaphysics. The author argues that placement problems arise when exactly one fundamental ontology serves as the base for all entities, and will propose a pluralist alternative that takes the diversity of our conceptual resources and ontologies seriously. This general pluralist account is applied to issues in philosophy of mind to argue that contemporary debates about the mind-body problem are built on this problematic framework of placement problems. The starting point is the plurality of ontologies in scientific practice. Not only can we describe the world in terms of physical, biological, or psychological ontologies, but any serious engagement with scientific ontologies will identify more specific ontologies in each domain. For example, there is not one unified ontology for biology, but rather a diversity of scientific specializations with different ontological needs. Based on this account of scientific practice the author argues that there is no reason to assume that ontological unification must be possible everywhere. Without this ideal, the scope of ontological unification turns out to be an open empirical question and there is no need to present unification failures as philosophically puzzling “placement problems”.
Book Synopsis How Einstein Created Relativity out of Physics and Astronomy by : David Topper
Download or read book How Einstein Created Relativity out of Physics and Astronomy written by David Topper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tracks the history of the theory of relativity through Einstein’s life, with in-depth studies of its background as built upon by ideas from earlier scientists. The focus points of Einstein’s theory of relativity include its development throughout his life; the origins of his ideas and his indebtedness to the earlier works of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Mach and others; the application of the theory to the birth of modern cosmology; and his quest for a unified field theory. Treading a fine line between the popular and technical (but not shying away from the occasional equation), this book explains the entire range of relativity and weaves an up-to-date biography of Einstein throughout. The result is an explanation of the world of relativity, based on an extensive journey into earlier physics and a simultaneous voyage into the mind of Einstein, written for the curious and intelligent reader.
Book Synopsis Basic Relativity by : Richard A. Mould

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook develops in a logical and coherent way both the formalism and the physical ideas of special and general relativity. Part one focuses on the special theory and begins with the study of relativistic kinematics from three points of view. Part two begins with a chapter introducing differential geometry. Subsequent chapters cover: rotation, the electromagnetic field, and material media. A second chapter on differential geometry provides the background for Einstein's gravitational-field equation and Schwarzschild's solution. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in physics or astrophysics.
Book Synopsis High Resolution NMR Spectroscopy by : Jochen Autschbach
Download or read book High Resolution NMR Spectroscopy written by Jochen Autschbach and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-06-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For heavy atoms, and for molecules with heavy atoms, a theoretical description of the electronic structure needs to consider the finite speed of light and Einstein’s special relativity. This chapter provides a brief introduction to special relativity and to relativistic methods in quantum chemistry. It is shown how these methods can be used to calculate NMR chemical shifts and indirect spin–spin coupling constants (J-coupling). A number of examples are discussed where relativistic effects have a significant influence on these NMR parameters. In some cases for example, for indirect spin–spin coupling involving 199Hg, relativistic effects may be larger than the total value calculated with a nonrelativistic method.
Download or read book The New Bergson written by John Mullarkey and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the threshold of the twentieth century, Bergson reset the agenda for philosophy and its relationship with science, art and even life itself. Concerned with both examining and extolling the phenomena of time, change, and difference, he was at one point held as both "the greatest thinker in the world" and "the most dangerous man in the world." Yet the impact of his ideas was so all-pervasive among artists, philosophers and politicians alike, that by the end of the First World War it had become impossibly diffuse. In a manner imitating his own cult of change, the Bergsonian school departed from the scene almost as quickly as it had arrived. As part of a current resurgence of interest in Bergson, both in Europe and in North America, this collection of essays addresses the significance of his philosophical legacy for contemporary thought.

Download or read book Fat Lives written by Irmgard Tischner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever caught somebody – or yourself – checking out the content of a ‘fat’ person’s supermarket trolley? Ever wondered what lies behind this behaviour, or what it might be like to be at the receiving end of this judging gaze? Within the context of the current ‘obesity debate’, this book investigates the embodied experience of ‘being large’ from a critical psychological perspective. Using poststructuralist and feminist theories, the author explores the discourses available to and used by self-designated ‘fat’ individuals, as well as the societal power relationships that are produced by these. Using the issues of body size and ‘fat’ as an illustration, the book describes the benefits of exploring psychological and social matters from a poststructuralist perspective, and the dangers inherent in taking reductionist approaches to public health and other social issues. As such, this book should be of particular interest to anyone working within the disciplines of psychology, sociology, and health studies, as well as those involved in the study of health, gender issues and appearance.
