Horizons in World Physics

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of physics. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics included in this compilation include spectroscopic analysis and temporal evolution of laser-induced plasma; structural heterogeneity of the physical vacuum; elastoplastic response of TCO/Si coated systems to local loading; experimental methods for the determination of super light velocities in gravitation; recreation of the ground state by the repulsive mean-field nonlinearity in three and two-dimensional quantum gases and the singularity problem in gravitational physics and music.
