{"product_id":"physics-of-the-universe-mendel-sachs-9781848165328","title":"Physics of the Universe","description":"This book presents a new approach to the subject of cosmology. It fully exploits Einstein's theory of general relativity. It is found that the most general formal expression of the theory replaces the (10-component) tensor formalism with a (16-component) quaternion formalism. This leads to a unified field theory, where one field incorporates gravitation and electromagnetism. The theory predicts an oscillating universe cosmology with a spiral configuration. Dark matter is explained in terms of a sea of particle-antiparticle pairs, each in a particular (derived) ground state. This leads to an explanation for the separation between matter and antimatter in the universe. There is a brief discussion of black holes and pulsars. The final chapter delves into philosophical considerations such as the different types of 'truth', positivism versus realism and a discussion of the role of the Mach principle in physics and cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mendel Sachs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848165323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848165328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.37w x 0.59d","brand":"Mendel Sachs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136918728959,"sku":"9781848165328","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd717105-20ad-4a7d-8289-2c91cbc899f1.jpg?v=1770165324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/physics-of-the-universe-mendel-sachs-9781848165328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
