“Fundamental” Physics: Molecular Dynamics vs. Hydrodynamics

Condensed matter physics concerns the “study of matter at everyday length and energy scales.” [12] The physics of such systems is by and large decoupled from the more “fundamental” physics at small lengths and higher energies. The nature of this decoupling is of great interest and brings with it the possibility of understanding aspects of how certain phenomena can be emergent. I believe there a...

Fundamental Principles of Bacteriology

IDELY adopted in colleges and universities, the first edition of this standard text was generally regarded as one of the best available. Teachers like particularly the emphasis on chemistry, the thorough explanations of phenomena, the sound morphological and physiological material, and the wealth of excellent illustrations. The new second edition is really a new book: all material has been comp...

Time-domain Mw Spectroscopy: Fundamental Physics from Molecular Rotation

In the past, it was a great triumph of Dirac’s theory to predict the fine structure in the energy levels of the simplest atom. Nevertheless, even the relativistic Dirac theory did not completely describe the spectrum of the electron in an H-atom. However, at that time, attempts to obtain accurate information through a study of the Balmer lines have been frustrated by the large Doppler width in ...

Fundamental physics with LISA

LISA has the potential to make observations that probe deeply into fundamental physics. Not only will it test to exquisite precision the general relativity model for gravitational radiation, but will also test strong-field gravity and in particular the proposition that all black holes are described by the Kerr metric. More research is needed, however, on how to quantify the theoretical meaning ...
