The Nature of Space and Time: Ebooks Free Download | The Nature of Space and Time | Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity. Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue, two of the world's most famous physicists Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Emperor's New Mind and Shadows of the Mind) disagree. Here they explain their positions in a work based on six lectures with a final debate, all originally presented at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. How could quantum gravity, a theory that could explain the earlier moments of the big bang and the physics of the enigmatic objects known as black holes, be constructed. Why does our patch of the universe look just as Einstein predicted, with no hint of quantum effects in sight. What strange quantum processes can cause black holes to evaporate, and what happens to all the information that they swallow? Why does time go forward, not backward

In this book, the two opponents touch on all these questions. Penrose, like Einstein, refuses to believe that quantum mechanics is a final theory. Hawking thinks otherwise, and argues that general relativity simply cannot account for how the universe began. Only a quantum theory of gravity, coupled with the no-boundary hypothesis, can ever hope to explain adequately what little we can observe about our universe. Penrose, playing the realist to Hawking's positivist, thinks that the universe is unbounded and will expand forever. The universe can be understood, he argues, in terms of the geometry of light cones, the compression and distortion of spacetime, and by the use of twistor theory. With the final debate, the reader will come to realize how much Hawking and Penrose diverge in their opinions of the ultimate quest to combine quantum mechanics and relativity, and how differently they have tried to comprehend the incomprehensible.

The Alternative (Focused On The Need To Save Humanity): illian Speke of http://www.the-alternative.org.uk/ has a great free ebook about a Green Living campaign directory detailing how to overcome poverty, homelessness, pollution and corruption, and survive global warming; featuring design specifications for new-style affordable housings for homes, commercial buildings, transport and space-craft.

Gillian also has a blog on the above website, together with the rest of the information, including the download link of the full ebook and individual chapters which you download directly. The full ebook is relatively huge I would say, going at 28mb, giving the reason why I think the individual chapters are provided for an alternative downloading method. But hey, don�t let the size stop you from downloading the ebook. It also has a short ebook version, so you might want to get that version if you don�t have the patience on getting the full one. Do take note that this is not the ordinary ebook which you download to read, although it meant to be read, but for me personally it tends to look more like an encyclopedia, or a dictionary, I don�t know probably it looks like that because of the layout.
