Showing results for "Gravity" in Physics

In Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, Lee Smolin provides an accessible overview of the attempts to build a final "theory of everything." He explains in simple terms what scientists are talking about when they say the world is made from exotic entities such as loops, strings, and black holes and tells the fascinating stories behind these discoveries: the rivalries, epiphanies, and intrigues he witnessed firsthand.

A sweeping account of the century of experimentation that confirmed Einstein's general theory of relativity, bringing to life the science and scientists at the origins of relativity, the development of radio telescopes, the discovery of black holes and quasars, and the still unresolved place of gravity in quantum theory.

The Man Who Mastered Gravity is an intimate profile of Thomas Townsend Brown, a little-known scientist whose unorthodox ideas about electricity and gravity have made him the subject of decades of speculation and intrigue. Brown developed his novel concepts while serving in the U.S. Navy through the 1930s. In the first months of World War II he was abruptly discharged–despite his expertise in radio, radar, and mine sweeping.

Why is gravity the only force that refuses to play by the rules? In this deep dive, we explore the history and current status of the search for a "Theory of Everything"—the holy grail of physics that aims to unify Einstein’s General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. This series takes you to the frontlines of the battle between the two biggest contenders: String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity. We explain why the "Graviton" is the most elusive particle in the universe, why gravity is so shockingly weak, and whether we might be wrong about the fundamental nature of reality.

Gravity - Holy Spirit - Love - The Force Binding The Universe Together is a book about what gravity is and how it really works in the world around us. It is a new look at what gravity really is and how it works, changing our understandings of the universe we live within. It uses real world examples of comets and hurricanes and twisters and other moving objects in space and on earth to prove its theories. It relates how gravity in material objects is like love in human relationships and between man and God.

metaphysical gravity is where the etheric meets the physical! a space for curious seekers and embodied truth-tellers. we explore the unseen forces that shape our lives (consciousness, energy, patterns, and the soul’s journey) while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. we’re all being pulled toward something... let’s get real about the unseen :) hosted by the politely subversive, erin gunzelman.

Join us as we discuss our past, present, and future ventures in High Power Rocketry and general nonsense.

I invite you inside my mind to view the universe through the eyes of a madman. I am a bipolar autistic psychopath with ADHD and PTSD—a retired military officer, an engineer, a lawyer, a husband, and a father; I am an objectivist observing the universe. I didn't create this podcast to advance an agenda, sell an ideology, or challenge your beliefs, I like you just the way you are. And, if you surrender your consciousness to my Sonic Gravity and spend one episode in my orbit—what you see will change you and your perception of the universe for the rest of your life.

This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focuses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe.
