505 | 0 | |a 1. Introduction -- 2. Reasons from astrophysics and atomic physics for our world to be three-dimensional -- 3. More on the stability of atoms and planetary systems in our three-dimensional world : why do we live longer than a tiny fraction of a second? -- 4. Crossing of the micro- and macro-worlds : similarities between planet-star or satellite-planet systems and giant (Rydberg) atoms with a diameter twice the size of a human hair -- 5. The magic of numbers : a fine-tuned Universe? -- 6. Similarities between the motion of a satellite with constant acceleration and the Stark effect in Rydberg atoms -- 7. Similarities between the motion of a satellite around the oblate Earth and Rydberg atoms in a high-frequency laser field and heavy hydrogen-like ions, including a description using uncommon 'two-dimensional' numbers -- 8. The 'Sun' going back and forth : similarities between a planet around binary stars or a star-planet-moon system and one-electron Rydberg quasimolecules -- 9. The stormy relationship between black holes and atomic/quantum physics -- 10. Atomic nuclei beyond the Standard Model and a natural explanation of the dark matter in the Universe -- 11. Concluding remarks on the harmony and beauty of micro- and macro-worlds : symmetries ruling everything -- Appendices. A. Overview of generalized classical dynamics -- B. Super-generalized Runge-Lenz vector -- C. The classical Stark effect -- D. Derivation of the effective potential energy of a hydrogen Rydberg atom in a high-frequency laser field -- E. A natural explanation of dark matter. | |
520 | 3 | |a As fascinating and unexplainable as the Universe appears to be, there are also an incredible number of similarities between the Universe and the everyday world, and we are constantly evolving to discover more about these incredible parallels, as this book unveils. Important topics such as Rydberg atoms, planet-star and satellite planet systems, star-planet-moon systems, and black holes, and atomic/quantum physics, as well as the explanation of dark matter, are addressed throughout the book. For those with a fascination for the world around us, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and anyone who wishes to gain better physical insight into the discussed phenomena, this book offers a simplified approach to the beautiful world around us. | |

545 | |a Professor Dr. Eugene Oks received his PhD degree from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and later the highest degree of Doctor of Sciences from the Institute of General Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR by the decision of the Scientific Council led by the Nobel Prize winner, academician A.M. Prokhorov. His research has included atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, laser physics, nonlinear dynamics, and astrophysics. He has also discovered new research areas such as intra-Stark spectroscopy and quantum chaos and has consequently published over 400 papers and 5 books on relevant subjects. Professor Oks works at Auburn University and continues his research in theoretical atomic, laser and plasma physics, as well as astrophysics. | ||
