BESTSELLING BOOKS BY BALUNGI FRANCIS

This Math-Free book is a good introduction to quantum gravity and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1899. It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should expect that he/she will have to concentrate hard on what Balungi says but the rewards are significant. He is a talented physicist and a good writer. If you read it carefully and stop to think about the message as it unfolds then you will get a worthwhile if imperfect picture of what the theory is saying and how it was invented,It's buried treasure and you will have to do some digging. It is a really serious attempt to do all that can be done in an informal style. Balungi explains and re-defines Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind. This wonderful and exciting book is optimal for physics graduate students and researchers. Not since Stephen W Hawking's celebrated best-seller Brief History of Time and Richard P Feynman's QED:The Strange Theory of Light and Matter has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. This is a Second Edition to Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1. BUY BOOK

In 1900, the British physicist Lord Kelvin declared “There is nothing new to discover in physics. All that remains is to more accurately measure its quantities” today, hardly anyone would dare say that our knowledge of the universe and everything in it is almost complete.There are still some deficiencies in the standard model of physics, such as the origin of mass, the strong CP problem, neutrino oscillations, matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Another problem lies within the mathematical framework of the standard model itself.Some of the major problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomena or experimental result. The others are experimental meaning that there is difficulty in creating an experiment to test a proposed theory.In this book , there is given a discussion of what are arguably the most unsolved problems in physics, astrophysics and cosmology. And this book sets to solve them living none untouched. The form of the discussion is not negative: formulating a problem succinctly is essential to a solution. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the book is that many of the problems are interrelated, so the solution of one or a few opens the prospect of widespread advancement. The book is optimal for researchers, students and teachers pursuing a career in physics, astrophysics, astronomy and cosmology.   BUY BOOK

An Exceptionally Simple Quantum           Theory of Gravity                            

Quantum gravity poses the problem of unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century.The book answers one of the major problems of quantum gravity-The Bekenstein Hawking area entropy law. The approach, presented in this book, is unique and has not been used anywhere in the field. The book aims at answering the questions that where put forward by Carlo Rovelli (Hawking beautiful result raises a number of questions. First, in Hawking's derivation the quantum properties of gravity are neglected. Are these going to affect the result? Second, we understand microscopical entropy in statistical mechanical terms as an effect of the microscopical degrees of freedom. What are the microscopical degrees of freedom responsible for the entropy? Can we derive Bekenstein area entropy law from first principles?) This fascinating text is ideal for graduate students entering the field, as well as researchers already working in quantum gravity. It will also appeal to philosophers and other scholars interested in the nature of space and time.  BUY BOOK

This book is the culmination of nearly fifteen years of work that I have done to develop this derivation method. I had never expected it would take anything like as long, but I have discovered vastly more than I ever thought possible, and in fact what I have done now touches almost every existing problem in physics.  BUY BOOK

GREAT PHYSICISTS OF ALL TIME


The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard of education corresponding to that of a university matriculation examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amount of patience and force of will on the part of the reader. The author has spared himself no pains in his endeavor to present the main ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form, and on the whole, in the sequence and connection in which they actually originated. In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that I should repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightest attention to the elegance of the presentation. I adhered scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be left to the tailor and to the cobbler. I make no pretence of having withheld from the reader difficulties which are inherent to the subject. On the other hand, I have purposely treated the empirical physical foundations of the theory in a “step-motherly” fashion, so that readers unfamiliar with physics may not feel like the wanderer who was unable to see the forest for the trees. May the book bring someone a few happy hours of suggestive thought! December, 1916 A. EINSTEIN  BUY E-BOOK /PAPERBACK 

In 1865 James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) published this work, "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" demonstrating that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. He proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led him to predict the existence of radio waves. Maxwell is also regarded as the founding scientist of the modern field of electrical engineering.His discoveries helped usher in the era of modern physics, laying the foundation for such fields as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th-century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th-century physics. His contributions to physics are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as the ones of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.In this original treatise Maxwell introduces the best of his mind in seven parts, to include:PART I.—INTRODUCTORY.PART II. – ON ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.PART III. – GENERAL EQUATIONS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.PART IV.— MECHANICAL ACTIONS IN THE FIELD.PART V. — THEORY OF CONDENSERS.PART VI. — ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY OF LIGHT.PART VII. — CALCULATION OF THE COEFFICIENTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.  BUY E-BOOK / PAPERBACK

The present book has for its object the presentation of the lectures which I delivered as foreign lecturer at Columbia University in the spring of 1909 under the title: “The Present System of Theoretical Physics.” It also includes the 1920 Nobel Prize Address on the Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory. The points of view which influenced me in the selection and treatment of the material are given at the beginning of the first lecture. Essentially, they represent the extension of a theoretical physical scheme, the fundamental elements of which I developed in an address at Leyden entitled: “The Unity of the Physical Concept of the Universe.” Therefore I regard it as advantageous to consider again some of the topics of that lecture. The presentation will not and cannot, of course, claim to cover exhaustively in all directions the principles of theoretical physics.  BUY E-BOOK / PAPERBACK

The subject of Plane Geometry is here presented to the student arranged in six books, and each book is subdivided into propositions. To assist the student in following the steps of the reasoning, references are given to the results already obtained which are required in the demonstration. The books cover plane and solid Euclidean geometry, elementary number theory, and incommensurable lines. Elements is the oldest extant large-scale deductive treatment of mathematics. It has proven instrumental in the development of logic and modern science, and its logical rigor was not surpassed until the 19th century. Euclid's Elements has been referred to as the most successful and influential textbook ever written. It was one of the very earliest mathematical works to be printed after the invention of the printing press and has been estimated to be second only to the Bible in the number of editions published since the first printing in 1482, with the number reaching well over one thousand. For centuries, when the quadrivium was included in the curriculum of all university students, knowledge of at least part of Euclid's Elements was required of all students. Not until the 20th century, by which time its content was universally taught through other school textbooks, did it cease to be considered something all educated people had read This Original Edition Contains SIX Books: BOOK I. 1 BOOK II. 90 BOOK III. 119 BOOK IV. 184 BOOK V. 215 BOOK VI. 274 BOOK XI. 335 BOOK XII. 369 NOTES ON EUCLID'S ELEMENTS. 377 THE FIRST BOOK. 380 THE SECOND BOOK. 401 THE THIRD BOOK. 408 THE FOURTH BOOK. 417 THE FIFTH BOOK. 419 THE SIXTH BOOK. 425 THE ELEVENTH BOOK. 434 THE TWELFTH BOOK. 437 APPENDIX. 438    BUY E-BOOK /PAPERBACK

It was Isaac Newton's Principia that founded the law of universal gravitation on 5th July 1687. It is the same principia that inspired Albert Einstein into formulating the Einstein field equations (the general relativity theory). It is still the same principia, I believe, will lead us to the quantum theory of gravity (Quantum gravity)


According to Newton’s Principia, the force of gravity governs the movement of bodies in the solar system. It is this simple mathematical law which determines the motion of bodies. The force of gravity accurately predicts the planetary orbits, it was used to put the first man on the moon, it predicts the return of comets, the rotation of galaxies, the solar eclipses, artificial satellites, satellite communications and television, the GPS and interplanetary probes. I almost forgot, it is why NASA was established in the first place.

Nikola Tesla has been called the most important man of the twentieth century. Certainly, he contributed more to the field of electricity, radio, and television than any other person living or dead. Ultimately he died alone and impoverished having driven all of his friends away through his neurotic and eccentric behavior. Tesla was never able to fit into the world that he found himself in. This autobiography, originally serialized in 'Electrical Experimenter', is an intensely fascinating glimpse into the mind of a genius, his inventions, and the magical world in which he lived.

The theory which is sketched in the following pages forms the most wide-going generalization conceivable of what is at present known as "the theory of Relativity;" this latter theory I differentiate from the former "Special Relativity theory," and suppose it to be known. The generalization of the Relativity theory has been made much easier through the form given to the special Relativity theory by Minkowski, which mathematician was the first to recognize clearly the formal equivalence of the space like and time-like co-ordinates, and who made use of it in the building up of the theory. The mathematical apparatus useful for the general relativity theory, lay already complete in the "Absolute Differential Calculus", which were based on the researches of Gauss, Riemann and Christoffel on the non-Euclidean manifold, and which have been shaped into a system by Ricci and Levi-Civita, and already applied to the problems of theoretical physics. I have in part B of this communication developed in the simplest and clearest manner, all the supposed mathematical auxiliaries, not known to Physicists, which will be useful for our purpose, so that, a study of the mathematical literature is not necessary for an understanding of this paper. Finally in this place I thank my friend Grossmann, by whose help I was not only spared the study of the mathematical literature pertinent to this subject, but who also aided me in the researches on the field equations of gravitation.  BUY E-BOOK/ PAPERBACK

"On Physical Lines of Force" is a four-part paper written by James Clerk Maxwell published in 1861. In it, Maxwell derived the equations of electromagnetism in conjunction with a "sea" of "molecular vortices" which he used to model Faraday's lines of force. Maxwell had studied and commented on the field of electricity and magnetism as early as 1855/6 when "On Faraday's Lines of Force" was read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society. Maxwell made an analogy between the density of this medium and the magnetic permeability, as well as an analogy between the transverse elasticity and the dielectric constant, and using the results of a prior experiment by Wilhelm Eduard Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch performed in 1856, he established a connection between the speed of light and the speed of propagation of waves in this medium.


The paper ushered in a new era of classical electrodynamics and catalyzed further progress in the mathematical field of vector calculus. Because of this, it is considered one of the most historically significant publications in physics and science in general, comparable with Einstein's Annus Mirabilis papers and Newton's Principia Mathematica.

This book includes the following:

Part I: The Theory of Molecular Vortices applied to Magnetic Phenomena1

Part II: The Theory of Molecular Vortices applied to Electric Currents29

Part III: The Theory of Molecular Vortices applied to Statical Electricity67

Part IV: The Theory of Molecular Vortices applied to the Action of Magnetism on Polarized Light92
