"At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster four million times more massive than the Sun. Within its domain, space and time are so warped that no light escapes. According to Einstein, here lies the end of time. According to twenty-first century physics, the reality may be far more bizarre. Meet the most extraordinary object in the universe: the black hole ... In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw take you to the...

"Stephen Hawking's closest collaborator offers the intellectual superstar's final thoughts on the cosmos -- a dramatic revision of the theory that made him the heir to Einstein's legacy. Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. Pondering this mystery led Hawking to study the big bang origin of the universe, but his early...

No matter how far away they are, particles of energy or matter can get entangled and interact predictably with one another. This phenomenon is known as entanglement in quantum theory. In physics, the concept of entanglement refers to how particles of matter or energy can join up and interact predictably with one another, regardless of their distance from one another. Because of this inexplicable connection that they nevertheless maintain, particles,...

Basic physics, also known as classical physics, encompasses the fundamental principles that describe the behavior of macroscopic objects in our everyday world. This branch includes classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, covering topics like motion, forces, electricity, magnetism, heat, and fluid dynamics. In contrast, advanced physics goes into the more intricate and abstract realms of the universe. It includes theories such as...

A cohesive theory of everything from quantum physics and gravity to black holes and inertia. The theory hinges upon the existence of a single oscillating particle and the scalable forces created by the mass it governs. This hypothesis suggests that light and electromagnetism are the flow of a bipolar pair of these particles in resonance; while electrons and photons are discreet groups of this charge. Using this theory, everything is explicable, from...
