Horizons in World Physics. Volume 311

This book contains nine chapters that detail horizons in world physics. Chapter One aims to predict the decay channels of superheavy atomic nuclei. Chapter Two presents and analyzes the results of an experimental study of the electromagnetic (EM) radiation propagation in two types of metal-dielectric photonic-crystal composite systems based on opals obtained by the authors. Chapter Three discusses the interconnection of stages in the energy evolution of an open system. Chapter Four studies the nature of the proton, neutron, and electron by the method of gravitational mass spectroscopy. Chapter Five explains the complexities of entropy generation. Chapter Six introduces new forms of the basic quantities of the electromagnetic field - the vector of the magnetic field intensity , the vector of the magnetic flux density , the vector of the electric field intensity and some others. Chapter Seven gives an orgraph of the formation of the cycle of cluster construction of masses in their homological series from preons to galaxies. Chapter Eight studies the homologous series of elementary particles and celestial bodies. Lastly, Chapter Nine discusses a non-equilibrium hydrodynamic approach for the description of the emission of high energy secondary particles.
