{"product_id":"the-tai-chi-in-star-hua-bai-li-9781643278841","title":"The Tai Chi in Star Formation","description":"Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how 'to conquer the unyielding with the yielding.' The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows the natural rules that inspired Tai Chi. For example, if self-gravity is the force that dominates, the molecular cloud will collapse isotropically, which compresses magnetic field lines. The density of the yielding field lines increases until magnetic pressure reaches the critical value to support the cloud against the gravitational force in directions perpendicular to the field lines (Lorentz force). Then gravity gives way to Lorentz force, accumulating gas only along the field lines till the gas density achieves the critical value to again compress the field lines. The Tai Chi goes on in a self similar way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hua-Bai Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643278843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643278841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iop Concise Physics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Hua-Bai Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127907512575,"sku":"9781643278841","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9c72ce3-118e-489b-bf68-913c9aec6180.jpg?v=1687455891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tai-chi-in-star-hua-bai-li-9781643278841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
