Book Description
This book provides a complete overview of the development of cosmic ray physics, with historical and educational considerations, from early evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial radiation up to the most recent applications of cosmic ray muons in different aspects of daily life. Many of the original results that contributed to the study of cosmic radiation are presented and discussed, accompanied by bibliographic references, numerous in-depth appendices, about 200 illustrations and a large chapter dedicated to the overall impact of cosmic rays. The book includes sections on, among other topics: the debate on the corpuscular or radiative nature of cosmic radiation; the development of early techniques for detecting cosmic particles; the properties and composition of primary and secondary radiation; and the interaction of cosmic muons in matter and a long list of their recent applications, ranging from the muon tomography techniques to the investigation of the stability of civil buildings. The book is addressed to a wide audience, and thus, while it is used for introductory cosmic ray physics courses at the bachelor's or master's level, high school students and teachers involved in educational projects around cosmic rays also benefit from its many historical and educational aspects.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110890517X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Martin Harwit, author of the influential book Cosmic Discovery, asks key questions about the scope of observational astronomy. Humans have long sought to understand the world we inhabit. Recent realization of how our unruly Universe distorts information before it ever reaches us reveals distinct limits on how well we will ultimately understand the Cosmos. Even the best instruments we might conceive will inevitably be thwarted by ever more complex distortions and will never untangle the data completely. Observational astronomy, and the cost of pursuing it, will then have reached an inherent end. Only some totally different lines of approach, as yet unknown and potentially far more costly, might then need to emerge if we wish to learn more. This accessible book is written for all astronomers, astrophysicists, and those curious about how well we will ever understand the Universe and the potential costs of pushing those limits.

One Universe:
Author: Charles Tsun-Chu Liu
Publisher: Joseph Henry Press
ISBN: 0309064880
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A new window opens onto the cosmos... Almost every day we are challenged by new information from the outermost reaches of space. Using straightforward language, One Universe explores the physical principles that govern the workings of our own world so that we can appreciate how they operate in the cosmos around us. Bands of color in a sunlit crystal and the spectrum of starlight in giant telescopes, the arc of a hard-hit baseball and the orbit of the moon, traffic patterns on a freeway and the spiral arms in a galaxy full of stars--they're all tied together in grand and simple ways. We can understand the vast cosmos in which we live by exploring three basic concepts: motion, matter, and energy. With these as a starting point, One Universe shows how the physical principles that operate in our kitchens and backyards are actually down-to-Earth versions of cosmic processes. The book then takes us to the limits of our knowledge, asking the ultimate questions about the origins and existence of life as we know it and where the universe came from--and where it is going. Glorious photographs--many seen for the first time in these pages--and original illustrations expand and enrich our understanding. Evocative and clearly written, One Universe explains complex ideas in ways that every reader can grasp and enjoy. This book captures the grandeur of the heavens while making us feel at home in the cosmos. Above all, it helps us realize that galaxies, stars, planets, and we ourselves all belong to One Universe.

Cosmic Theories
Author: Steff Jaywan
Publisher: Dedona Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This book consists of 4 titles, which are the following: Cosmic Inflation - Cosmic inflation is more than just a theoretical construct; it is a crucial piece of the puzzle in our understanding of the universe's origins and its subsequent evolution. At its core, the concept of cosmic inflation addresses some of the most profound questions in cosmology, such as why the universe appears so uniform on large scales, despite the randomness we might expect from the chaotic conditions of the Big Bang. Without inflation, these puzzles remain unresolved, leaving gaps in our understanding of how the universe came to be the way it is. Cosmic Rays - Cosmic rays are an intriguing aspect of astrophysics, originating from various sources in the universe, such as supernovae, pulsars, and even black holes. They consist of charged particles accelerated to incredible energies, often far beyond what our most powerful particle accelerators on Earth can achieve. These particles, when they collide with the Earth's atmosphere, create secondary particles in a cascade of interactions, leading to a fascinating array of phenomena. Multiverse Theory - Multiverse theory posits the existence of multiple, possibly infinite, universes that exist parallel to our own, collectively forming what is known as the "multiverse." The origins of this theory are rooted in quantum mechanics and cosmology. String Theory - String theory is a theoretical framework aiming to unify all fundamental forces and particles by positing that they are vibrations of one-dimensional "strings," rather than point-like particles. These strings, in different vibrational modes, correspond to various particle types and properties.
