Quantum Fluctuations

This by now classic text provides an excellent introduction to and survey of the still-expanding field of quantum chaos. For this long-awaited fourth edition, the original text has been thoroughly modernized.
The topics include a brief introduction to classical Hamiltonian chaos, a detailed exploration of the quantum aspects of nonlinear dynamics, quantum criteria used to distinguish regular and irregular motion, and antiunitary (generalized time reversal) and unitary symmetries.

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) offer wonderful examples of the radical macroscopic effects inherent in quantum physics: phase changes between different forms of matter driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations, typically at very low temperatures.

Time travel doesn't require a machine with flashing lights, spinning dials, and a warp engine—in fact, you were born with the power to navigate the timestream. Impossible? Not with the help of Dr. Quantum! The renowned "superhero of science" Fred Alan Wolf makes his triumphant return in Dr. Quantum Presents: Do-It-Yourself Time Travel. On this six-session audio journey down the wormhole of infinite possibility, Dr. Quantum provides you with the physics, insights, and practices you need to expand your power to journey through time and space.
Break Free from the Chains of Linear Time
"It may sound like science fiction," says Fred Alan Wolf, "but time travel is really not as far fetched as you might think." Learning the basics of time travel does not require training— rather, it calls for un-training from our habit of thinking of time in the "normal," linear way. In a modern age filled with clocks and calendars, we have limited our natural abilities to choose how we traverse time in our lives. With a few simple practices in the "Ancient Art of Cheating Time," Dr. Quantum helps you throw off the shackles of second-by-second clock time to help you vastly enhance the quality of each moment of your life.
But what about leaping into the future, hurtling back into the past, or peering into parallel realities? Fred Alan Wolf teaches you how to access these advanced powers of time travel through mastery of the "Five Fluctuations." Once you become a timetraveling "tachyonaut," you not only learn the skill of slipping the timestream, you also take profound spiritual steps toward achieving liberation from the ego, connecting to the universal consciousness, and overcoming the fear of death.
