Zero Time Space: How Quantum Tunneling Broke the Light Speed Barrier

Description:

This English edition of a successful, proven title provides a sound scientific background, while allowing a popular presentation of the physics behind the strange and mysterious tunneling process.

Based on his groundbreaking experiments, Prof Nimtz places the topic in a broader context by showing connections with other branches of physics. He and the team of authors begin by introducing such fundamental concepts as space and time and continue with tunneling phenomena from optics, nuclear and solid state physics. Avoiding mathematical equations and definitions altogether, they explain step-by-step the prerequisites for the tunnel effect to function, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, right up to modern topics, such as wormholes and space travel à la Star Trek.
With a foreword by astronaut Ulrich Walter, science team member of the D-2 Space Shuttle Mission.

There is broad public interest in theories or phenomena that seemingly defy established theories such as relativity and impossibility of travel faster than light. There is the danger of having this audience hijacked by speculative, unscientific 'theories'. This book provides a sound scientific background. It gives a popular presentation of the physics of this strange and mysterious tunneling process, the very mechanism of the big bang the beginning of our world and many modern devices. In 1992 Günther Nimtz and his coworkers performed an experiment where Mozart's Symphony No.40 was transmitted at 4.7 times the speed of light through a tunneling barrier. Later, similar experiments were conducted by researchers at several institutions including Berkeley. The authors place the topic in a broader context by showing connections with other branches of physics. They start by introducing fundamental concepts such as space and time and continue with tunneling phenomena from optics, nuclear and solid state physics. Avoiding mathematical equations and definitions altogether, they describe in words and illustrations physics, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, all the way to modern topics like wormholes and space travel a la Star Trek.

About the Author

After a diploma in electrical engineering, Günter Nimtz moved to the University of Vienna were he received his doctorate in physics and philosophy. Back in Germany he finished his habilitation in physics and in 1977 accepted a position as research associate at McGill University, Canada. From 1983 until his retirement he held a professorship at the University of Cologne.

Astrid Haibel finished her PhD thesis at the University of Cologne about the topic of Signal Propagation in Photonic Barriers. She is currently working at the Hahn-Meitner Institute in Berlin in the Department of Materials Science.
