Opis

S338 explores how space-time and electromagnetic messengers can be correlated, to help us understand many astrophysical phenomena.

Recenzje

'Minkowski's writing of special relativistic intervals as s2 = x2 + y2 + z2 – t2 is the most important insight into the nature of the Universe in the history of human thought.' Virginia Trimble, The Observatory Magazine
