Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, th……続きを見る

This concise book introduces nonphysicists to the core philosophical issues surrounding the nature and structure of space and time, and is also an ideal resource for physicists interested in the con……続きを見る

Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holes Black holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists an……続きを見る

With the aid of entertaining short stories, anecdotes, lucid explanations and straight-forward figures, this book challenges the perception that the world of physics is inaccessible to the non-exper……続きを見る

Der Doppler-Effekt ist die Frequenzänderung von Wellen bei einer Relativgeschwindigkeit von Sender und Empfänger. So wird die Sirene einer Feuerwehr bei einer Vorbeifahrt deutlich tiefer. Der klassi……続きを見る

The law of relativity was put forth by Albert Einstein. The theory is made up of two parts: the Special Theory of Relativity, which he published in 1905, and the General Theory of Relativity which w……続きを見る

Lorentz Geometry is a very important intersection between Mathematics and Physics, being the mathematical language of General Relativity. Learning this type of geometry is the first step in properly……続きを見る

Obwohl Albert Einstein die spezielle Relativitätstheorie vor mehr als hundert Jahren verfasst hat, ist ihre Vermittlung bis heute eine Herausforderung geblieben. Die dabei auftretenden Schwierigkeit……続きを見る

Uno sguardo appassionato sulla vita attraverso il confronto tra scienza e religione. Un libro rivolto ad un pubblico con la mente aperta e “ancora disposto a far uso del cervello." 続きを見る

If the laws of nature are fine-tuned for life, can we infer other universes with different laws? How could we even test such a theory without empirical access to those distant places? Can we believe……続きを見る

This monograph describes the different formulations of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Unlike traditional treatments, Cartan's geometry of fibre bundles and differential forms is placed at ……続きを見る

This is a reference book for researchers working in the field of general relativity, quantum mechanics and quantum gravity. A major part of the book deals with the formulation of special relativisti……続きを見る

«Gravità inizia la sua ricognizione della teoria einsteiniana della relatività generale partendo dalle onde gravitazionali per poi far atterrare il lettore direttamente nel cuore dei misteri della m……続きを見る

«Sottile è il Signore, ma non malevolo». Con questa frase, Einstein commentava nel 1921 alcuni dati (poi rivelatisi errati) che avrebbero potuto mettere in crisi la sua teoria della relatività. Guid……続きを見る

Era il 1915 quando Albert Einstein elaborò nella forma che conosciamo la sua teoria della relatività generale. Era trascorso giusto un decennio dal 1905, ritenuto concordemente dagli studiosi il suo……続きを見る

«La teoria più importante della mia vita… una teoria di incomparabile bellezza.» Albert Einstein Nello stato magmatico della fisica novecentesca Albert Einstein è il nucleo solido, la roccia stabilm……続きを見る

È la formula più famosa di tutti i tempi. Ma quanti di noi sanno che cosa significa, esattamente? E perché è ancora importante per noi cent’anni dopo la sua esposizione? Il fisico di fama mondiale C……続きを見る

La teoria della relatività di Einstein è ormai considerata patrimonio comune dellumanità. Ma se ci chiedessero di addentrarci nei suoi meandri probabilmente avremmo qualche difficoltà a districarci ……続きを見る

In questo volume sono raccolte quattro conferenze che Albert Einstein tenne nel maggio del 1921 all’Università di Princeton. In esse il premio Nobel per la Fisica presenta i concetti fondamentali e ……続きを見る

LA TEORIA DELLA RELATIVITÀ È PRESTO SPIEGATA! Dell'esistenza di una certa ‘Teoria della Relatività’ formulata da Albert Einstein siamo consapevoli fin da bambini; e oggi, a seguito dei recenti e rap……続きを見る
