There are primary kinfolk among 3 colossal components of physics: particle physics, cosmology and condensed subject physics. the elemental hyperlinks among the 1st components, in different phrases, among micro- and macro- worlds, were good proven. there's a unified process of legislation governing the scales from subatomic debris to the Cosmos and this precept is largely exploited within the description of the physics of the early Universe. the most objective of this
book is to set up and outline the relationship of those fields with condensed topic physics.

According to the fashionable view, user-friendly debris (electrons, neutrinos, quarks, etc.) are excitations of a extra basic medium referred to as the quantum vacuum. this is often the hot 'aether' of the twenty first Century. Electromagnetism, gravity, and the fields moving vulnerable and robust interactions all signify types of the collective movement of the quantum vacuum. one of the current condensed topic structures, a quantum liquid referred to as superfluid 3He-A such a lot heavily represents the quantum vacuum.
Its quasiparticles are similar to the effortless debris, whereas the collective modes of the liquid are similar to electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and the quanta of those collective modes are analogues of photons and gravitons. the elemental legislation of physics, reminiscent of the legislation of
relativity (Lorentz invariance) and gauge invariance, come up whilst the temperature of the quantum liquid decreases.

This booklet is written for graduate scholars and researchers in all components of physics.
