F.F - Relativity 1

This monograph surveys recent research on the collision and interaction of gravitational and electromagnetic waves. "This is a particularly important topic in general relativity," the author notes, ……続きを見る

In this fascinating, accessible introduction to one of the most revolutionary developments in modern physics, Einstein scholar Banesh Hoffmann recounts the successive insights that led to both the s……続きを見る

Newton's Apple Was Pushed: Dynamic Physics, Energy, and the Compression Medium continues the exploratory framework introduced in the first two volumes of the series. Beginning from the central inver……続きを見る

What if gravity is not fundamentally an attractive force, but instead emerges from pressure behavior within an underlying maximally compressed medium? In Newton's Apple Was Pushed: Book Two, Jeff Ha……続きを見る

Reality Is Not What You Think is a journey into the strange, elegant, and often counterintuitive discoveries that have reshaped our understanding of existence. From particles that behave like waves ……続きを見る

The international bestseller: an introduction to the theory of relativity by the eminent physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw……続きを見る

This is a book about the physics of space and time. The main goal of this book is to explain why time passes slower on a moving train. Unfortunately, this is not easy to explain. Or rather, it canno……続きを見る

This is not your average popular science book. This book takes one theme -- the universally constant speed of light -- and shows how it may appear compromised on scales from the quantum mechanics of……続きを見る

This book is dedicated to Einstein’s personal and scientific relationships with Italy, which began as early as adolescence and continued over various stages of his life. It collects together a wealt……続きを見る

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! The typical introduction to physics leaves readers with the impression that physics is about 30 different, unconnected topics such as motion, for……続きを見る

Savez-vous que vous voyagez à la vitesse de la lumière ? Bien sûr, nous ne parlons pas ici d'un voyage dans l'espace en trois dimensions, mais dans la structure profonde de l'Univers : l'espace-temp……続きを見る

E = mc² ist die berühmteste Formel der Welt. Mit ihr brachte Einstein es auf den Punkt: Energie und Masse sind zwei Seiten derselben Medaille und die Lichtgeschwindigkeit c ist ihr Wechselkurs. Doch……続きを見る

The 2nd edition of this textbook features more than 100 pages of new material, including four new chapters, as well as an improved discussion of differential geometry concepts and their applications……続きを見る

“Hoffmann does more than convey the emotional impact of Einstein’s science on Einstein. He tries to make the general reader see the problems that concerned Einstein and understand the kinds of theor……続きを見る

Albert Einstein knew already in the early 1900s, when he first published his famous paper about the constancy of the speed of light, that not only did this constancy imply that mass contains energy ……続きを見る

A renowned astrophysicist's approachable introduction to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and its application in our daily lives. It is commonly assumed that if the Sun suddenly turned into a ……続きを見る

This book systematically develops the mathematical foundations of the theory of relativity and links them to physical relations. For this purpose, differential geometry on manifolds is introduced fi……続きを見る

Albert Einstein is often viewed as the icon of genius, and his theories are admired for their beauty and correctness. Yet the final judge of any theory is the rigorous test of experiment, not the fa……続きを見る

This book opens with an axiomatic description of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. Euclidean geometry is the starting point to understand all other geometries and it is the cornerstone for our……続きを見る

Energy is typically regarded as understandable, despite its multiple forms of storage and transfer. Entropy, however, is an enigma, in part because of the common view that it represents disorder. Th……続きを見る

Intended for science and engineering students with a background in introductory physics and calculus, this textbook creates a bridge between classical and modern physics, filling the gap between des……続きを見る

There has not been a scientific revolution for about 100 years. One seems imminent, as QED has recently been violated at the Sigma-6 level. Kuhn, in 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions', used W……続きを見る

A Brief History of Time for the 21st Century At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. Its secrets lie waiting to be discovered. It’s time to explore ……続きを見る

By the star physicist and author of multiple #1 Sunday Times bestsellers, a major and definitive narrative work on black holes and how they can help us understand the universe. At the heart of our g……続きを見る

The 2015 centenary of the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity, and the first detection of gravitational waves have focused renewed attention on the question of whether Einstein wa……続きを見る

Einstein's theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learnt about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particu……続きを見る

This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences. It offers a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to ……続きを見る

This book makes an important intervention in the ongoing debates about modernism, science, and the divisions of early Twentieth-Century print culture. In order to establish Joyce's place in the nexu……続きを見る

A truly Galilean-class volume, this book introduces a new method in theory formation, completing the tools of epistemology. It covers a broad spectrum of theoretical and mathematical physics by rese……続きを見る
