In 1905, Albert Einstein declared speeds greater than light to be impossible. This book describes the author's decades-long search for hypothetical subatomic particles known as tachyons that violate this principle.
What if the earth were square?Discover the amazing answers to some cooland weird questions aboutour world* What if the earth stopped spinning?* What if we could see sounds?* What if the moon fell down?* What if aliens landed and only wanted to talk to dogs?Bizarre brainteasers and ingenious inquiries set the stage for afantastic foray into the wacky world of real science. Theintriguing topics range from plants and animals to light and sound,from the wind and the weather to the planets and the stars.Captivating cartoons and quick, fun-filled experiments will stretchyour mind and your imagination.
The Consortium for Upper Level Physics Software (CUPS) has developed a comprehensive series of Nine Book/Software packages that Wiley will publish in FY `95 and `96. CUPS is an international group of 27 physicists, all with extensive backgrounds in the research, teaching, and development of instructional software. The project is being supported by the National Science Foundation (PHY-9014548), and it has received other support from the IBM Corp., Apple Computer Corp., and George Mason University. The Simulations being developed Astrophysics, Classical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Modern Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Solid State, Thermal and Statistical, and Wave and Optics.
