hi,

please anybody tell reference book for gravitational force, quantum gravity, black holes.
 
Physics news on Phys.org


What is your background in math and physics?
 


i am BE graduate. i studied math but not much in physics.
 


I'd suggest you start with Relativity Simply Explained, by Gardner. Then, for more mathematical depth, you could try Spacetime Physics by Taylor and Wheeler and Exploring Black Holes by Taylor and Wheeler. After that, some books to get you started on quantum gravity at a popular level are Susskind's The Black Hole War and Smolin's Three Roads to Quantum Gravity.
 


k thank u very much

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread 'Relativator (Circular Slide-Rule): Simulated with Desmos - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
