All came to the decision to write this book having in mind that there was so much interesting in various areas of physics and astrophysics and yet many budding physicists and students were not aware of this and could hardly find out for themselves. So I decided to do something constructive in this way, to describe briefly some urgent problems of physics and astrophysics. The book provides a model of how non-theorists can judge what realms of theory may be illuminated by work in a new range of photon and particle energy, how new technologies may be used to good effect. The book has three sections dealing with Macrophysics, Microphysics and Astrophysics and in the end is full of references for each of the fields.
1). Macrophysics
1. Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion
2. High-Temperature Superconductivity
3. New Substances (Production of Metallic Hydro-gen and Some Other Substances)
4. Metallic Exciton (Electron-Hole) Liquid in Semiconductors
5. Second-Order Phase Transitions (Critical Pheno-mena)
6. Matter in Ultrahigh Magnetic Fields
7. X-Ray Lasers, Grasers and Superpowerful Lasers
8. Studies of Very Large Molecules. Liquid Crys- tals. Some Surface Phenomena
9. Superheavy Elements (Far Transuranides)
2). Microphysics
10. What Is Microphysics?
11. The Mass Spectrum (The Third Spectroscopy)
12. Fundamental Length (Quantized Space, etc.)
13. Interaction of Particles at High and Superhigh Energies
14. Weak Interactions. Violation of CP Invariance
15. Nonlinear Phenomena in Vacuum in Super- strong Electromagnetic Fields
16. Microphysics Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
3). Astrophysics
17. Experimental Verification of the General Theory of Relativity
18. Gravitational Waves
19. The Cosmological Problem. Singularities in General Relativity Theory and Cosmology
20. Is there a Need for “New Physics” in Astronomy? Quasars and Galactic Nuclei
21. Neutron Stars and Pulsars. Physics of “Black Holes”
22. Origin of Cosmic Rays and Cosmic Gamma- and X-Ray Radiation “
23. Neutrino Astronomy
24. The Present Stage in Development of Astronomy
