After Physics
Author: David Z Albert
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674731263
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Here the philosopher and physicist David Z Albert argues, among other things, that the difference between past and future can be understood as a mechanical phenomenon of nature and that quantum mechanics makes it impossible to present the entirety of what can be said about the world as a narrative of “befores” and “afters.”

From Quanta To Quarks: More Anecdotal History Of Physics
Author: Capri Anton Z
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813101512
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This enlightening book, a sequel to QUIPS, QUOTES, AND QUANTA, helps readers to understand how physicists think about and look at the world. Starting with the discovery and investigation of cosmic rays, the book proceeds to cover some major areas of modern physics in laymen's terms. Unlike other books that deal with the history of physics, this volume concentrates on anecdotes about the physicists who created the new ideas, with a heavy emphasis on personal incidents and quotes. At the same time it presents, in every day language, the ideas created by these physicists. Both thematic and biographical in nature, readers will be entertained with humorous events in the lives of some famous scientists. Readers will also learn quite a lot about modern physics without the mathematical details, but with the important concepts intact.

Physics of High-Density Z-Pinch Plasmas
Author: Michael A. Liberman
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461214246
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
A "z pinch" is a deceptively simple plasma configuration in which a longitudinal current produces a magnetic field that confines the plasma. Z-pinch research is currently one of the fastest growing areas of plasma physics, with revived interest in z-pinch controlled fusion reactors along with investigations of new z-pinch applications, such as very high power x-ray sources, high-energy neutrons sources, and ultra-high magnetic fields generators. This book provides a comprehensive review of the physics of dense z pinches and includes many recent experimental results.
