Classical And Quantum Phase Space Mechanics

de Karim Pierre Yves (University Of Bristol) Thebault

~~24,33€~~ 21,90€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 This Element explores the formal and conceptual foundations of phase space formulations of classical and quantum mechanics. The formal material is unified via three interpretative themes relating to structured possibility spaces, Liouville's theorem and its failure, and the classical and quantum notions of open and closed systems.

Causation In Physics

de Christopher Gregory (University Of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) Weaver

~~74,35€~~ 66,92€ 10% IMEDIATO

Why Do We Want A Theory Of Quantum Gravity?

de Karen (Universitetet I Oslo) Crowther

~~24,33€~~ 21,90€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 This Element explores the motivations for seeking a quantum gravity theory, focusing on unification, incompatibilities between general relativity and quantum field theory, consistency, singularity resolution, and black hole thermodynamics results, aiming to provide a critical perspective on the definition and constraints of this theory.

Gauge Theory And The Geometrization Of Physics

de Henrique De Andrade (University Of Oxford) Gomes

~~24,33€~~ 21,90€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 This Element is broadly about the geometrization of physics, but mostly it is about gauge theories. The over-arching question this Element aims to answer is: why is descriptive redundancy fruitful for physics? It provides three inter-related answers: pragmatic, or methodological; based on geometrical considerations, and broadly relational.

Laws Of Physics

de Eddy Keming (University Of California, San Diego) Chen

~~74,35€~~ 66,92€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 This Element provides a philosophical introduction to laws of physics. They are connected to ontology, possibility, explanation, induction, counterfactuals, time, determinism, and fundamentality. Simplicity, exactness, and objectivity are discussed to see whether and how they may be associated with laws of physics.

The Philosophy Of Symmetry

de Nicholas Joshua (University Of Notre Dame) Yii Wye Teh

~~24,33€~~ 21,90€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 This Element introduces the philosophy of physical symmetry. It stresses both the continuity with historically important themes such as the Relativity Principle, as well as novel insights earned by working with contemporary media such as the covariant phase space and derived critical locus formalisms.

Philosophy Of Physical Magnitudes

de Niels C. M. Martens

~~23,85€~~ 19,08€ 20% IMEDIATO + 5% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Dimensional quantities such as length, mass and charge, i.e., numbers combined with a conventional unit, are essential components of theories in the sciences. This Element illustrates questions about them by imagining how one would convey the meaning of a kilogram to aliens if one were only allowed to communicate via Morse code.

~~23,85€~~ 19,08€ 20% IMEDIATO + 5% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this Element, the authors investigate the philosophical and foundational issues that arise in statistical mechanics . They introduce the theoretical approaches in SM, Boltzmannian SM and Gibbsian SM, and discuss how they conceptualise equilibrium and explain the approach to it. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

From Randomness And Entropy To The Arrow Of Time

de Lena (University Of Bristol) Zuchowski

~~74,35€~~ 66,92€ 10% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 The Element reconstructs, analyses and compares different derivational routes to a grounding of the Arrow of Time in entropy. It demonstrates that it is unlikely that high entropy states will coincide with visible disorder, thus disputing any link between the Arrow of Time and visible disorder.
