Book Description
The focus of Unique Physics of Light and Astronomy, a brand new title from Professor Kadakia, is on the processes responsible for the creation of light and its interaction with matter. After several years of extensive research in light wave physics, the author realized that several past physicists had left unexplained gaps in their theories characterizing the behavior of radiation entities in general, and light waves in particular. Though Einstein had postulated a dual nature of of light and radiation, namely a particle and a wave, which travelled at a constant speed c in space, he did not describe the physical phenomenon for the origination of radiant energy. In this text book, we reveal the unique events surrounding the creation of light and radiation waves. They are germinated from a quantum phenomenon, electrons dissipate energy during orbital transitions, inherently due to a quantized change in their energy states while performing oscillations within electrostatic charge field of protons. Thus, the frequencies and the speed of all radiation is set by the reverberation of the charge field that is independent of the motion of atoms and objects. Moreover, various types of radiation is thus considered as manifestations of oscillations of the charge field at different frequencies and, therefore, are not electromagnetic in nature. The readers of this text will be amazed by the several stunning breakthrough ideas presented here. For instance, we developed a novel concept for the probability of finding a radiation quantum in Richard Feynman's QED that is determined from the wave function of a particle electron that creates the radiation. Another remarkable fact that is postulated by us is that "Black Holes" do not possess a singularity, as was made popular by Stephen Hawking, inasmuch as they are quark stars in reality. Finally, we proudly announce that we have revised the most celebrated mass-energy equivalence expression, as postulated by Albert Einstein, for translation of matter into energy E = mc2 to new a relationship to wit: E = Ʃmneutrinoc2 + Ʃhfradiation.

Book Description
Why do polished stones look wet? How does the Twin Paradox work? What if Jupiter were a star? How can we be sure that pi never repeats? How does a quantum computer break encryption? Discover the answers to these, and other profound physics questions! This fascinating book presents a collection of articles based on conversations and correspondences between the author and complete strangers about physics and math. The author, a researcher in mathematical physics, responds to dozens of questions posed by inquiring minds from all over the world, ranging from the everyday to the profound. Rather than unnecessarily complex explanations mired in mysterious terminology and symbols, the reader is presented with the reasoning, experiments, and mathematics in a casual, conversational, and often comical style. Neither over-simplified nor over-technical, the lucid and entertaining writing will guide the reader from each innocent question to a better understanding of the weird and beautiful universe around us. Advance praise for Do Colors Exist?: “Every high school science teacher should have a copy of this book. The individual articles offer enrichment to those students who wish to go beyond a typical ‘dry curriculum’. The articles are very fun. I probably laughed out loud every 2-3 minutes. This is not easy to do. In fact, my children are interested in the book because they heard me laughing so much.” – Ken Ono, Emory University

Exoplanets
Author: C. R. KitchinPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461406447
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Exoplanets: Finding, Exploring, and Understanding Alien Worlds probes the basis for possible answers to the fundamentals questions asked about these planets orbiting stars other than our Sun. This book examines what such planets might be like, where they are, and how we find them. Until around ten years ago, the only planets that we knew about were within the Solar System. The first genuine planet beyond the confines of the Solar System was discovered only 1988. Since then another 350 or so exoplanets have been detected by various methods, and most of these haven been found in the last ten years. Although many more exoplanets discoveries may be expected to occur even as this book is being read, a large enough data set is now available to form the basis for an informed general account of exoplanets. The topic hence is an extremely "hot" one - all the more so because the recently launched Kepler spacecraft should soon start uncovering many more exoplanets, some perhaps comparable with the Earth (and therefore possibly alternative homes for mankind, if we could ever reach them). Exoplanets: Finding, Exploring, and Understanding Alien Life gives a comprehensive, balances, and above all accurate account of exoplanets.
