How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life

Textbook - How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life ISBN: 0470223995
Binding: Paperback
Edition: 4
Author(s): Louis A. Bloomfield
Publisher: Wiley
Number of Pages: 632

How Things Work uses familiar objects to introduce basic physics concepts demonstrating the excitement and relevance to professionals in a variety of technical fields Because its structure is defined by real-life examples this book explores concepts as they're needed and then revisits them later on when they reappear in other objects It integrates case studies throughout the chapters to easily convey an understanding and appreciation for physics For example discussions of skating falling balls and bumper cars are included to explain the Laws of Motion Air conditioners and automobiles are used to explore thermodynamics Engineers architects and professionals in other technical fields will benefit from the material that connects science to our everyday world

  • Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness

    Textbook - Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness ISBN: 0199753814
    Binding: Paperback
    Edition: 2
    Author(s): Bruce Rosenblum, Fred Kuttner
    Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
    Number of Pages: 304

    In trying to understand the atom physicists built quantum mechanics the most successful theory in science and the basis of one-third of our economy They found to their embarrassment that with their theory physics encounters consciousness Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's developers They present the quantum mystery honestly emphasizing what is and what is not speculation Quantum Enigma's description of the experimental quantum facts and the quantum theory explaining them is undisputed Interpreting what it all means however is heatedly controversial But every interpretation of quantum physics involves consciousness Rosenblum and Kuttner therefore turn to exploring consciousness itself--and encounter quantum mechanics Free will and anthropic principles become crucial issues and the connection of consciousness with the cosmos suggested by some leading quantum cosmologists is mind-blowing Readers are brought to a boundary where the particular expertise of physicists is no longer the only sure guide They will find instead the facts and hints provided by quantum mechanics and the ability to speculate for themselves

    In the few decades since the Bell's theorem experiments established the existence of entanglement (Einstein's "spooky action") interest in the foundations and the mysteries of quantum mechanics has accelerated In recent years physicists philosophers computer engineers and even biologists have expanded our realization of the significance of quantum phenomena This second edition includes such advances The authors have also drawn on many responses from readers and instructors to improve the clarity of the book's explanations
