Daniel R. Mayerson, Anthony M. Charles, Joseph E. Golec ... We will mention a few books here that were especially inspiring to us when preparing these notes: • J. B. Hartle, “Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity,” ...
Einstein's theory of relativity shattered the world of physics - replacing Newtonian ideas of space and time with bizarre and counterintuitive conclusions: a world of slowing clocks and stretched space, black holes and curved space-time.
According to Bridgman, relativity theory revealed that “Experience is determined only by experience”. Bridgman cites Newton's definition of absolute time as an example of an incorrect view of physical concepts. Absolute time was defined ...
In this work Einstein intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general and scientific philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not ...
This book contains the great physicist's own explanation of both the special and general theories of relativity.
This edition also includes a survey of the introductions from these editions, covers from selected early editions, a letter from Walther Rathenau to Einstein discussing the book, and a revealing sample from Einstein's handwritten manuscript ...
The Special and the General Theory - 100th Anniversary Edition Albert Einstein. Of special character and significance is the long appendix “Relativity and the Problem of Space.” It appeared first in the 15th English edition in 1954 and ...
This book breathes new life into the way sexuality is expressed in our relationships and the way love is often portrayed during our social maturation.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Provides the essential principles and results of special relativity as required by undergraduates. The text uses a geometric interpretation of space-time so that a general theory is seen as a natural extension of the special theory.
In this new edition we are fortunate in having the advantage of an excellent exposition of Einstein' s foundational ideas on relativity from a more modern perspective in Robert Geroch' s commentary.
The book deals with the special theory of relativity, the general theory of relativity, and the considerations on the universe as a whole The book gives an exact insight into the theory of Relativity.
Relativity: the special and general theory
The work has been labeled[by whom?] unique in that it gives readers an insight into the thought processes of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
This text brings the challenge and excitement of modern relativity and cosmology at rigorous mathematical level within reach of advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates.
Told from the alternating points of view of Ethan and each of his parents, Relativity is a poetic and soul-searing exploration of unbreakable bonds, irreversible acts, the limits of science, and the magnitude of love.
An accesible version of Einstein's masterpiece of theory, written by the genius himself According to Einstein himself, this book is intended "to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general ...
The original manuscript was written by pulp legend Henry Abner shortly before his death in 1935. However, the book remained a secret, until it was discovered quite by accident in the summer of 2014.
His Special and General theories of Relativity introduced the idea to the world. In this classic short book he explains clearly, using the minimum amount of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of his theory of Relativity.
Stargate Command's attempts to sign a treaty with the Pack, a race of gypsy space travellers, is jeopardised by a series of attacks from an unknown enemy.
