Something Deeply Hidden

by Sean Carroll
333 pages - - 3  MB New!

Something Deeply Hidden is the physics of gravity, quantum theory and physics book which tells the modern developments in physics. Sean Carroll is the author of this wonderful book. The universe is itself a mystery and science help the scientists to reveal the secrets of success. There are many things which wonder man and only a few of the science is able to answer. What is time and why it is impossible to control or pause the time? Why the scientists failed while controlling time and what is the role of the second law of thermodynamics. What is the view of scientists on Time Reversal in particle physics? How science teaches us in daily activities of life such as action, causality, and memory. Why humans are getting old with the passage of time and how our lives become complex when we view it under physics. All people have different perceptions about time. Space is another universe of complexities and scientists are just in the beginning. Physics believes in time traveling but reality does not. Sometimes reality becomes a myth when science tells us about the big bang, evolution of the universe and black hole entropy. Sometimes we listen, there are dozens of other worlds in parallel and we exist more than twice. A comprehensive book of sciences and universe.

Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity provides a lucid and thoroughly modern introduction to general relativity. With an accessible and lively writing style, it introduces modern techniques to what can often be a formal and intimidating subject. Readers are led from the physics of flat spacetime (special relativity), through the intricacies of differential geometry and Einstein's equations, and on to exciting applications such as black holes, gravitational radiation, and cosmology.

The Big Picture

by Ajit, Sean Carroll
333 pages - - 8 MB New!

“The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself” is a great book which is well written and delightful to read. Sean Carroll is the author of this awesome book. Sean Carroll is a successful theoretical physicist, skilled panderer of philosophical questions and gifted communicator of science. This is a magnificent book written by an erudite physicist, an astute observer and a humane and thoughtful human being. Professor Carroll beautifully summarizes the current state of thinking in physics and cosmology, referencing major philosophical strands, and covering epistemology, ontology, Entropy, evolution, complexity, the origin of life, Consciousness, Reason, Morality and ethics. There are six parts to this book: Cosmos, Understanding, Essence, Complexity, Thinking and Caring. The author is an atheist, though raised a Christian and he has coined a phrase for his way of thinking Poetic Naturalism. Prof. Carroll maintains a steadfast commitment to naturalism which he defines as follows: “There is only one world, the natural world, exhibiting patterns we call the ‘laws of nature,’ and which is discoverable by the methods of science and empirical investigation. There is no separate realm of the supernatural, spiritual, or divine nor is there any cosmic teleology or transcendent purpose inherent in the nature of the universe or in human life. He tackles the difficult problems of origins, consciousness, body & soul and morality head-on and to his great credit discusses all sides fairly. Maintaining his presupposition naturalistic commitments, he continues with this summary “‘Life’ and ‘consciousness’ do not denote essences distinct from matter, they are ways of talking about phenomena that emerge from the interplay of extraordinarily complex systems. Purpose and meaning in life arise through fundamentally human acts of creation, rather than being derived from anything outside ourselves. Naturalism is a philosophy of unity and patterns describing all of reality as a seamless web.
