Description for Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
Hardback. Describes a paradigm change in modern physics from the philosophy and mathematical expression of the quantum theory to those of general relativity. This work defines the field that unifies electromagnetism, gravity and inertia, with predictions, in terms of quaternion and spinor field equations in a curved spacetime. Series: The Frontiers Collection. Num Pages: 206 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 470.
Theoretical physics is presently at a very exciting time in the history of scientific discovery. For we are at a precipice facing two conflicting 20th century revolutionary movements in physics, each purporting to be basic truths of nature - the quantum theory and the theory of relativity. In the 20th century the mathematical expression of the quantum theory yielded correct predictions of a great deal of the data on the behavior of the molecular, atomic, nuelear and elementary partiele domains of matter. In the same period, the theory of relativity suc cessfully described new features of material systems. In special ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
From the reviews: "This book differs from the many other books on the same topics in three essential points: 1st, it concentrates on the historical development of the question of the unification of quantum theory and gravity, 2nd, it uses the quaternion approach to describe the metric and other geometric objects, and 3rd, it is ...
