Description for Landscape of Theoretical Physics, A Global View
Paperback. Provides a synthetic view of fundamental theoretical physics. This title describes the ingredients which may have to be used in order to build a theory which will unify general relativity, quantum field theory, and the known fundamental interactions. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 396 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 158 x 235 x 29. Weight in Grams: 592.
Today many important directions of research are being pursued more or less independently of each other. These are, for instance, strings and mem branes, induced gravity, embedding of spacetime into a higher dimensional space, the brane world scenario, the quantum theory in curved spaces, Fock Schwinger proper time formalism, parametrized relativistic quantum the ory, quantum gravity, wormholes and the problem of “time machines”, spin and supersymmetry, geometric calculus based on Clifford algebra, various interpretations of quantum mechanics including the Everett interpretation, and the recent important approach known as “decoherence”. A big problem, as I see it, is that various people ... Read more
