  • UFOs - A Scientific Inquiry
    Christopher Montgomery
    This book deals with the relationship between the appearance of UFOs as part of our conscious reality and the physical evidence left behind that substantiates that reality. The book shows how UFO evidence is examined and evaluates the mind’s ability to distort and alter the information that is perceived, further complicating the identification of the unidentified flying object....

  • Effective Field Theories for Nuclei and Compact-Star Matter
    Mannque Rho / Yong-Liang Ma
    Effective field theories have been widely used in nuclear physics. This volume is devoted to exploring the intricate structure of compact-star matter inaccessible directly from QCD. It is principally anchored on hidden symmetries and topology presumed to be encoded in QCD. It differs from standard effective field theory and energy density functional approaches in that it exploi...

  • The Most Interesting Galaxies in the Universe
    Joel L Schiff
    Prior to the 1920s it was generally thought, with a few exceptions, that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was the entire Universe. Based on the work of Henrietta Leavitt with Cepheid variables, astronomer Edwin Hubble was able to determine that the Andromeda Galaxy and others had to lie outside our own. Moreover, based on the work of Vesto Slipher, involving the redshifts of these ga...

  • Quantum Physics - An Overview of a Weird World
    Marco Masi
    There is probably no science that is as confusing as quantum theory. There's so much misleading information on the subject that for most people it is very difficult to separate science facts from pseudoscience. The goal of this book is to make you able to separate facts from fiction with a comprehensive introduction to the scientific principles of a complex topic in which m...

  • The Story of Antimatter
    Guennadi Borissov
    Each elementary particle contained within every known substance has an almost identical twin called its antiparticle. Existing data clearly indicate that equal numbers of particles and antiparticles were initially created soon after the birth of the universe. Despite this, all objects around us, as well as all the stars in all the known galaxies, are made of particles, while an...

    Richard W Miller
    Miller says a number of years ago he asked himself the question, what would be less problematic: to take on the mainstream ideology, or to take on gravity? He decided to take on gravity. Oddly enough, his first draft was on the back of a pizza box. 'We don’t understand the true cause of gravity,' says Miller. 'For all we know, it may be hidden in plain sight.' Taking on Gravity...
