Gravity does not exist - Vincent Icke - eBook (9789048517053)

Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our universe, we keep each in its own domain: space and time for very large things, particles for the very small ones. However, 13.8 billion years ago, those two incompatible domains belonged to a single realm. Who in the current or future generations of physicists will crack this seemingly impossible puzzle? This, contends the author, is not just a big question, but the biggest question in physics in our century. Combining Ickes's first-hand knowledge with a robust argument and intellectual playf…

Zwaartekracht bestaat niet - Vincent Icke - eBook (9789048522774)

In de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw bedachten wetenschappers de `klassieke mechanica: de theoretische beschrijving van de beweging van voorwerpen door de ruimte, gedreven door hun onderlinge krachten. De zwaartekracht was de oervorm van zon kracht. In de negentiende eeuw werden deze klassieke regels met succes toegepast op systemen bestaande uit zeer veel deeltjes, hetgeen leidde tot een beschrijving van de materie in het groot. Elektromagnetische krachten werden aan het beeld toegevoegd, maar deze werden niet goed begrepen totdat, in de twintigste eeuw, relativiteit en quantumgedrag ten tonele verschenen. De eenentwintigste eeuw begon met een onthutsende opeenstapeling van raadsels, vooral dankzij de toegenomen precisie van de kosmologie. Wat bleek? Ons heelal bestaat vrijwel geheel uit `donkere materie, met een aard en samenstelling die volkomen onbekend zijn. Op een dergelijke grote schaal wordt de werkelijkheid niet zozeer bepaald door de beweging van voorwerpen door de ruimte…

What does Tropical Medicine stand for today? - Martin Peter Grobusch - eBook (9789048514571)

The Tropics in geographical and astronomical terms simply refers to the area between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer; Tropical Medicine as a discipline, however, whose origins date back at least to the age of exploration, remains ill-defined and encompasses a wealth of different medical specialties and scientific areas, forming altogether the highly dynamic field of Medicine in the Tropics. The Tropencentrum within Infectious Diseases, Tropical Medicine and AIDS at the Amsterdam Medical Center contributes together with numerous partners and collaborators worldwide to the broad field of Tropical Medicine and Travel Medicine through a wealth of clinical care, teaching and research activities in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and abroad. Martin Peter Grobusch is Professor of Tropical Medicine at the Academic Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam. He previously held the Chair of Infectious Diseases at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and remain…

Surrounded by physics - R.F. Mudde - eBook (9789065621924)

Surrounded by physics This book is the result of a series of lectures that the author gave during a number of years to fi rst year students in Applied Physics at Delft University of Technology. The idea for such a course started from discussions with our students. They made a plea for an extra physics course in the fi rst year to get a better balance in the math and physics courses. Their wish was granted and the author was asked to prepair a series of lectures with as theme 'Physics of Daily Life'. This idea was of course inspired by the series of books that Prof. Dr. M. Minnaert wrote in the 30s of the 20th century. It should not be a course, that deals with only one of the main theories of physics. On the contrary, the idea was rather to stroll along all kinds of more or less familiar phenomena. By touching on these phenomena, different parts of physics and the accompanying theory would be discussed with the students. Being exposed to phenomena and open questions and…

Apokatastasis - Arjan Smit - eBook (9789082035001)

Almost 13,000 years ago the earth was struck by a sudden, worldwide catastrophe. Giant mammals like the mammoth became extinct. Civilizations vanished, leaving only a few traces. The map of the world changed considerably. After a final convulsion the ice age definitely came to a close. The author presents a new and startling theory about the events that likely happened in those days, using elements of geology, archaeology, palaeontology, astronomy and mythology, which assent to his theory. These indications show that the earths crust shifted as a whole over a large distance within a very short time. The finds provide us with a delicate surprise that had not been detected before. Especially in our time of great changes, this book should be read. What is the connection to the Maya, who let their Long Count Calendar end at December 21st, 2012? To what were they referring? ` A hypothesis, made clear from the beginning of the book, is explained so well that it is difficult not to search for…

A new philosophy of man & humanism - Hans L.M. Dassen - eBook (9789086662937)

On 10 December 2006, Pakhuis De Zwijger in Amsterdam organised a forum discussion on consciousness and free will. According to the English psychologist and panellist Susan Blackmore, there is only experience – the rest is not important. In the past few years, neuroscientists Victor Lamme and Dick Swaab have fuelled this debate. In recent publications both have further decried the idea that there is such a thing as free will. A new philosophy of man shows that questions about consciousness and free will are borrowed from the old philosophy, with its focus on ultimate knowledge and the absolute beginning. But we cannot find any answers to these questions if we leave human beings out of the equation. The theoretical basis for the new philosophy was laid by the American philosopher James Joseph Dagenais (1923-1981), who came to the conclusion that the universe is “primordially … a world of and for persons”, and that a philosophy of man can only come about as a joint undertaking of all scie…

Dynamic data processing - P.J.G. Teunissen - eBook (9789065622174)

Dynamic data processing This book is a follow-up on Adjustment theory. It extends the theory to the case of time-varying parameters with an emphasis on their recursive determination. Least-squares estimation will be the leading principle used. A least-squares solution is said to be recursive when the method of computation enables sequential, rather than batch, processing of the measurement data. The recursive equations enable the updating of parameter estimates for new observations without the need to store all past observations. Methods of recursive least-squares estimation are therefore particularly useful for applications in which the time-varying parameters need to be instantly determined. Important examples of such applications can be found in the fields of real-time kinematic positioning, navigation and guidance, or multivariate time series analysis. The goal of this book is therefore to convey the necessary knowledge to be able to process sequentially collected measurements …

Origins and ends of the mind - eBook (9789461660374)

Psychoanalysis claims that the individual human mind is structured by its childhood relationships with its parents. But the theory of attachment, evolutionary psychology and contemporary philosophy of mind have all recently re-introduced new dimensions of innateness into mental development and pathology. If attachment is an instinct, then what is the psychological status of the child's relation to the mother? If the mind is in part a product of evolution, then how far down do the inhibitory mechanisms of the mind go? If the mind of the child is shaped by their encounter with a set of prohibitions, how, in the light of contemporary 'cognitive science' and philosophy of mind, can the child be conceived as 'taking on' a rule? How is the construction of the mind related to the normative ends of cognitive experience? Today, it is Lacanian psychoanalysis which most vigorously defends psychoanalytic theory and practice from the encroachment of the biological and 'cognitive' sciences. But a pa…

The Theory of Democractic Integration - Jaap Hoeksma - eBook (9789462404762)

The Theory of Democratic Integration, which will be presented in this treatise, is the first political theory to account for the dual character of the EU as both a Union of States and a Union of Citizens. The new theory brings about a revolutionary breakthrough in EU research as it replaces the traditional Westphalian paradigm of states with the civic perspective of democracy and the rule of law. From this perspective there is no point in governing an organisation of democratic states in an undemocratic manner. At the same time it is equally self-evident that, if two or more democratic states agree to share the exercise of sovereignty in a number of fields with a view to attain common goals, the organisation they establish for this purpose should be democratic too. The Copernican revolution, engendered by the theory of democratic integration, is not only of academic interest. It also has great practical consequences. The first concrete result of the new theory is that it provides for t…
