Tabla de Contenidos:
- 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
