Post-Newtonian Hydrodynamics
Theory and Applications
This book introduces and develops post-Newtonian kinetic and phenomenological theories in a self-contained manner. The starting point for phenomenological theory is Einstein’s field equations from which the first and second post-Newtonian approximations are derived. Within phenomenological theory, Eulerian hydrodynamic equations are obtained and the conservation laws are derived. The kinetic counterpart of the theory is developed within the framework of Boltzmann equation, where the post-Newtonian equilibrium distribution function and the hydrodynamic equations are determined. Some astrophysical applications of post-Newtonian hydrodynamic equations, such as stellar structure models for stars, the spherically…
This book develops post-Newtonian kinetic and phenomenological theories, deriving hydrodynamic equations and exploring astrophysical applications like stellar structure, Jeans instability, and galaxy rotation curves. For physicists, astrophysicists, and advanced students.

The book is devoted to the description of physical effects caused by resonant scattering of quasiparticles by isolated impurity atoms, which can localize electrons and phonons in nanosystems. It takes as its starting point the model of local perturbations by I.M. Lifshits, within which short-range impurity atoms are located at random points of the system. The role of a single impurity center in such systems increases with decreasing size. This book presents the first-ever application of the method of local perturbations to describe the physical properties of a wide range…

The N-body problem of 6n-12 degrees of freedom with twelve inherent constraints creates a difficult situation in working the equations of motion for three or more masses. This necessitates the mathematical physicist remedying the situation by determining proper constraints to get past this dilemma by requiring a specialized set of conditions to define a unique problem. This book addresses these issues and provides a general approach to solving certain classes of n-body problems, thereby showing that there exists a large body of mass configurations that can be formulated and solved…

With an opinionated and irreverent tone, the author debunks most of the current theories in the field of modern physics, appealing to the scientific method and common sense. At the same time, in strict compliance with the already known experimental evidence, he proposes his own version of the facts, aimed at rationalizing and unifying the various aspects in which the nature that surrounds us manifests itself. The result is a possible model of the universe where events are all connected by a common thread, even if distributed on different scales,…

Many-body Theory
Normal Fermi Liquid
The interaction of bodies blurs the concept of independent particles. This book presents a way of accommodating the interaction in ensembles of many interacting fermions, like electrons in solids, or H e 3 at low temperatures. The theory of interacting fermions at zero temperatures is described, and its application to the quasiparticle picture is thoroughly investigated, with the aim of relating Landau's theory of the normal Fermi liquid to the quantum-mechanical interaction effects. The reader should have a background knowledge of quantum mechanics, statistical physics and quantum-field theory. The book…

In April of 1922, Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson famously disagreed in a debate on the nature of time. With the benefit of hindsight, the source of this conflict appears to be a dichotomy between the geometric views of time considered by Einstein and the subjective experience of it as duration adopted by Bergson. Is Bergson’s experienced duration identical with Einstein’s geometric time, or are they two separate entities that are merely correlated during life? If we assume the latter, how do we enquire into the nature of this relationship?…
Einstein’s geometric time versus Bergson’s experienced duration. Are they two separate entities? Relying on research into space-time and the philosophy of mind, this book posits that the physical world evolves predictably and examines if our relationship to time can be modified.

This book proposes a model of the light knot electronic structure and the theory of quantum inverse measurement, showing that diffraction experiments can be explained by directional quantization. It points out that there exists a logical loophole in the interpretation process of quantum entanglement, and proves that there is a paradox in the uncertainty relationship. As such, the book lays the foundation for the establishment of local-realism quantum mechanics and successfully establishes the quantum mechanics of localized realism and determinism is successfully established. It will appeal to university students, teachers,…

This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear quadrupole resonance and electric dipolar resonance. The method described here is based on the quasi-classical description of condensed matter, and makes use of the equation of motion of harmonic oscillators with external forces. In addition to known results in magnetic resonance, the book also presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles and dipolar interaction which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.

General Relativity Conflict and Rivalries
Einstein's Polemics with Physicists
This book focuses on Albert Einstein and his interactions with, and responses to, various scientists, both famous and lesser-known. It takes as its starting point that the discussions between Einstein and other scientists all represented a contribution to the edifice of general relativity and relativistic cosmology. These scientists with whom Einstein implicitly or explicitly interacted form a complicated web of collaboration, which this study explores, focusing on their implicit and explicit responses to Einstein’s work. This analysis uncovers latent undercurrents, indiscernible to other approaches to tracking the intellectual pathway of…
