Sobre IBD

"The book includes many illustrations to aid in explanations. Broad in scope, the book will interest readers seeking a brief introduction to a variety of topics in the history of science."CHOICE Connect Time and Age explores how time is defined by man. It follows the development of our means for measuring time from early methods using the flow of water or the steady burning of candles through to the atomic clock that records time with incredible precision.The classical idea of time as something that progresses at a uniform rate and as something that is the same to all observers was overturned by Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The conclusions coming from this theory are described, including the anti-intuitive twin paradox where one twin, returning from a journey to a distant star, is younger than his twin brother.Also covered is how age can be determined in a wide range of situations, such as how we work out the age of the Universe to how we calculate the age of artefacts that are just a few centuries old.

  • Multidimensional Time
    Robert Kersten
    Time is a concept we all use every day to measure the passage of our days and lives without giving it much thought. Physics inherently does not limit time to going forward only, but it is treated that way since we do not understand time any other way.  Could time have multidimensions, just like space has?   What would it mean to move in multidimensional time?  This book on mult...

  • Inflativity The Origin of Time
    Kevin Jonathan Warne
    Inflativity is a groundbreaking new theory of universal 4D inflation that solves many of the fundamental problems currently existing in modern Physics. The reasoning follows from simple fundamental principles and develops one's thorough understanding and the revelatory implications. Requiring only a basic understanding of Physics, one is taken on an amazing journey that ultimat...

    Lee Smolin
    One of our foremost thinkers and public intellectuals offers a radical new view of the nature of time, and explores its implications for everything from physics and cosmology to economics and climate change.What is time? It’s the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion: if you could so...

    "This slender work is packed with an enormous amount of information related to the science of colour. The best part of the material is the array of pictures and diagrams, many of which are in colour, that help to complement the text. The book has something for the physicist, chemist, biologist, engineer, and lay reader. Summing up: Highly recommended."CHOICE Connect "The text i...

    Michael Mark Woolfson
     This book explores a large number of resonance effects that occur both in everyday life and in scientific contexts. It is a topic that provides a cross-link between many branches of science and shows how a single scientific principle can manifest itself in many, apparently disparate, ways.Resonance covers fields as diverse as civil engineering in relation to the safety of brid...
