Bangs, Crunches, Whimpers, and Shrieks: Singularities and Acausalities in Relativistic Spacetimes
ISBN: 9780195095913 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Almost from its inception, Einstein's general theory of relativity was known to sanction spacetime models harboring singularities. Until the 1960s, however, spacetime singularities were thought to be artifacts of the idealizations of the models. This attitude evaporated in the face of a series of theorems, due largely to Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, which showed that Einstein's general theory implies that singularities can be expected to occur in a wide variety of conditions in both gravitational collapse and in cosmology. In the light of these results some physicists adopted the...

The Reign of Relativity: Philosophy in Physics 1915-1925
ISBN: 9780195177176 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Universally recognized as bringing about a revolutionary transformation of the notions of space, time, and motion in physics, Einstein's theory of gravitation, known as "general relativity," was also a defining event for 20th century philosophy of science. During the decisive first ten years of the theory's existence, two main tendencies dominated its philosophical reception. This book is an extended argument that the path actually taken, which became logical empiricist philosophy of science, greatly contributed to the current impasse over realism, whereas new possibilities are opened in...

Relativity (Special, General and Cosmological)
ISBN: 9780198508359 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This text is a considerable amplification and modernization of the authors' earlier Essential Relativity. It brings relativity alive conceptually and emphasizes the foundations and the logical subtleties rather than the mathematics or the detailed experiments. It includes 300 exercises and promotes a visceral understanding and the confidence to tackle any fundamental relativistic problem. Following a critical overview of the whole field, special-relativistic kinematics is presented three dimensionally before the mathematical level gradually rises. Four vectors preceded mechanics, four tensors...

General Relativity
ISBN: 9780198519966 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Einstein's general theory of relativity is perhaps the most important perspective to emerge in a century of astonishing progress in the field of physics. However, it is also a notoriously difficult subject for beginning students. This book describes general relativity in terms understandable to undergraduates in physics and astronomy. It discusses concepts and experimental results, and provides a succinct account of formalism. A brief review of special relativity is followed by a discussion of the equivalence principle and its implications. Other topics covered include concepts of curvature...

ISBN: 9780198567318 / Angielski / Twarda / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Relativistic cosmology has in recent years become one of the most exciting and active branches of current research. In conference after conference the view is expressed that cosmology today is where particle physics was forty years ago, with major discoveries just waiting to happen. Also gravitational wave detectors, presently under construction or in the testing phase, promise to open up an entirely novel field of physics.
It is to take into account such recent developments, as well as to improve the basic text, that this second edition has been undertaken. The most affected is the last...

Introducing Einstein's Relativity
ISBN: 9780198596868 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. There is little doubt that Einstein's theory of relativity captures the imagination. It is unrivalled in forming the basis of the way we view the universe and the many surprises that the theory has in store -- the characteristics of black holes, the prospect of detecting gravitational waves, and the sheer scope and profundity of current cosmology excite all students of relativity. The aim of this textbook is to provide students with a sound mathematical introduction coupled to an understanding of the physical insights needed to explore the subject. The book follows Einstein in that it...

The Curvature of Spacetime: Newton, Einstein, and Gravitation
ISBN: 9780231118200 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. The physicist Harald Fritzsch explains the meaning and implications of the general theory of relativity and other mysteries of modern physics by presenting an imaginary conversation among Newton, Einstein and a fictitious contemporary particle physicist called Adrian Haller. In this account of relativity, Newton serves as the sceptic and asks the questions a modern reader might ask. Einstein himself does the explaining while Haller explains the new developments that have occured since the general theory was proposed.

ISBN: 9780231118217 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. The internationally renowned physicist Harald Fritzsch deftly explains the meaning and far-flung implications of the general theory of relativity and other mysteries of modern physics by presenting an imaginary conversation among Newton, Einstein, and a fictitious contemporary particle physicist named Adrian Haller--the same device Fritzsch employed to great acclaim in his earlier book An Equation That Changed the World, which focused on the special theory of relativity. Einstein's theory of gravitation, his general theory of relativity, touches on basic questions of our existence....

The Geometry of Spacetime: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity
ISBN: 9780387986418 / Angielski / Twarda / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1905, Albert Einstein offered a revolutionary theory--special relativity--to explain some of the most troubling problems in current physics concerning electromagnetism and motion. Soon afterwards, Hermann Minkowski recast special relativity essentially as a new geometric structure for spacetime. These ideas are the subject of the first part of the book. The second part develops the main implications of Einstein's general relativity as a theory of gravity rooted in the differential geometry of surfaces. The author explores the way an individual observer views the world and how a pair of...

Relativity: The Special and the General Theory
ISBN: 9780415255387 / Angielski / Twarda / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Time's Man of the Century, Albert Einstein is the unquestioned founder of modern physics, and relativity the most important scientific idea of the modern era. In this famous short book Einstein explains clearly, using the minimum amount of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of the theory which has shaped the world we live in today.

The Special Theory of Relativity
ISBN: 9780415404259 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity that transformed forever the way we think about time and space. Yet for Bohm the implications of the theory were far more revolutionary both in scope and impact even than this. Stepping back from dense theoretical and scientific detail in this eye-opening work, Bohm describes how the notion of relativity strikes at the heart of our very conception of the universe, regardless of whether we are physicists or philosophers. In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity that transformed forever the way we thin... |
