Discrete or Continuous?: The Quest for Fundamental Length in Modern Physics
ISBN: 9781107062801 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous? Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales. Combining novel conceptual analysis, a fresh historical perspective, and concrete physical examples, this unique book tells the story of the search for the fundamental unit of length in modern physics, from early classical...

The Mists of Special Relativity: Time, Consciousness and a Deep Illusion in Physics
ISBN: 9781492900429 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The standard interpretation of Special Relativity is that of the "space-time block," where the past, present and future are laid out in a vast, frozen structure. The origins of the "block" rest in Langevin's 1911 announcement of the twin paradox, the validity of this paradox also invariably being included as part of this standard view. The view is ubiquitous, is described repeatedly, and is completely misguided. This book explores the fundamental contradictions in this interpretation, its inconsistencies in the assignment of ontological status to time dilation versus the opposite for space...

Special Relativity
ISBN: 9783662139189 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These lectures were given to third-year mathematics undergraduates at Oxford in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The notes were produced originally in mimeographed form by the Mathematical Institute at Oxford in 1977, and in a revised edition in 1980. I have made further minor changes and corrections in this edition, and added some examples and exercises from problem sheets given out in lectures by Roger Penrose and Paul Tod. Special relativity provides one of the more interesting pedagogical challenges. This particular course was given to students with a strong mathematical background who...

Rotating Objects and Relativistic Physics: Proceedings of the El Escorial Summer School on Gravitation and General Relativity 1992: Rotating Objects and Other Topics Held at El Escorial, Spain, 24–28
ISBN: 9783662139349 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses physicists working in general relativity, astrophysics and cosmology. The contributions are based on reports given at a summer school the goal of which was to review modern research for students. The school was centered on the study of gravitational fields corresponding to rotating objects of astrophysical interest, under different viewpoints: theoretical, numerical and observational. Special emphasis is put on the analysis of interior and exterior fields of stationary axisymmetric systems. Lectures and contributions, collected here in Part I, ranged from basic...

Fractal Space-Time and Microphysics: Towards a Theory of Scale Relativity
ISBN: 9789810208783 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first detailed account of a new approach to microphysics based on two leading ideas: that the explicit dependence of physical laws on scale encountered in quantum physics, is the manifestation of a fundamental principle of nature, namely, scale relativity (this generalizes Einstein's principle of (motion) relativity to scale transformations); and that the mathematical achievement of this principle needs the introduction of a nondifferentiable space-time varying with resolution, i.e. characterized by its fractal properties. The author discusses in detail reactualization of the...

Combined into one volume for the first time, the updated and clarified Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics provides comprehensive, hands-on practice in all the most important areas of physics--from Newtonian mechanics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. A perfect complement to The Feynman Lectures on Physics, these exercises have all been assigned in Caltech's mandatory two-year introductory physics course, either when Richard Feynman was teaching it, or during the nearly two decades that followed when The Feynman Lectures on Physics was...

Revizuirea Teoriei Relativitatii
ISBN: 9786069334911 / Rumuński / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prin revizuirea Teoriei Relativitatii, din aceasta dispare partea frapanta, senzationala, adica cele doua concepte privind relativitatea timpului si spatiului. De asemenea, prin revizuirea teoriei relativitatii dispare limitarea oricarei viteze la valoarea c, viteza luminii in vid. Teoria revizuita a relativitatii este o teorie a relativitatii masei si a miscarii materiei sub forma de camp, spre deosebire de mecanica clasica, in care masa este constanta (masa de repaus) si este constituita din substanta. Astfel, teoria revizuita a relativitatii pastreaza tot ce era valoros si util in teoria...

Relativity Revealed: A Concrete Approach You Can Understand
ISBN: 9781497522114 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Relativity Revealed: A Concrete Approach You Can Understand presents Einstein's special theory of relativity in clear and simple language. This book is intended for high school students who may have an interest in science, or for adults who simply want to know what relativity is all about. The material in the book was twice presented by the author, Prof. Ray C. Jones, in a series of popular public lectures at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Special relativity concerns the differences in physical quantities, such as time intervals, lengths and masses, that occur when measured by...

In 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to join the Institute for Advanced Study, Albert Einstein visited Princeton University, where he delivered the Stafford Little Lectures for that year. These four lectures constituted an overview of his then-controversial theory of relativity. Princeton University Press made the lectures available under the title The Meaning of Relativity, the first book by Einstein to be produced by an American publisher. As subsequent editions were brought out... In 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to joi... |

Fundamental Principles of General Relativity Theories: Local and Global Aspects of Gravitation and Cosmology
ISBN: 9781475708509 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present monograph is not a self-contained introductory text. Instead it presupposes to a large extent that the reader is not only thoroughly familiar with the special theory of relativity, but that he or she has studied the standard aspects of the general theory, as weIl. Starting from local and global formulations of the principlcs of inertia and relativity, we discuss the microscopic ancl telcscopic aspects of gravitation. Our central goal has been to demonstrate that the foundations of gravitational theory laid by Newton and Einstein imply questions on thc relation betwecn the micro-...
