The Authorized Albert Einstein Archived Edition: E=mc2 may be Einstein s most well-known contribution to modern science. Now, on the one-hundredth anniversary of the theory of general relativity, discover the thought process and physics behind this famous equation.

In this collection of his seven most important essays on physics, Einstein guides his reader step-by-step through the many layers of scientific theory that formed a starting point for his discoveries. By both supporting and refuting the theories and scientific efforts of his predecessors, Einstein reveals in a...

Einstein's Jury is the dramatic story of how astronomers in Germany, England, and America competed to test Einstein's developing theory of relativity. Weaving a rich narrative based on extensive archival research, Jeffrey Crelinsten shows how these early scientific debates shaped cultural attitudes we hold today.

The book examines Einstein's theory of general relativity through the eyes of astronomers, many of whom were not convinced of the legitimacy of Einstein's startling breakthrough. These were individuals with international reputations to uphold and...

Back in 1986, Ephraim Fischbach, Sam Aronson, Carrick Talmadge and their collaborators proposed a modification of Newton s Law of universal gravitation. Underlying this proposal were three tantalizing pieces of evidence: 1) an energy dependence of the CP...

Once in a lifetime we might witness a scientific event so rare and revolutionary that it changes our lives forever. Imagine awakening on the day in history when we learned that the Earth is round, not flat; or awakening on the day we learned that the planets orbit the Sun, not the Earth. Now, imagine awakening tomorrow to learn that Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong

Demonstrating that Einstein's theory is wrong is a tall order. Undaunted, author Steven B. Bryant doesn't simply prove relativity wrong, he shows that relativity theory was never correct in the first place....

Die Relativitatstheorie gehort zu den bekanntesten Theorien der Physik. Auch wenn ihre unmittelbaren Auswirkungen auf unser tagliches Leben praktisch vernachlassigbar sind, geht von ihr dennoch eine grosse Faszination aus. Das vorliegende Buch bahnt physikalisch interessierten Lesern mit grundlegenden Kenntnissen der hoheren Mathematik einen anschaulichen und nachvollziehbaren Weg zum Verstandnis der Relativitatstheorie.

The purpose of this book is to give a systematic pedagogical exposition of the quantitative analysis of Wilson lines and gauge-invariant correlation functions in quantum chromodynamics. Using techniques from the previous volume (Wilson Lines in Quantum Field Theory, 2014), an ab initio methodology is developed and practical tools for its implementation are presented. Emphasis is put on the implications of gauge invariance and path-dependence properties of transverse-momentum dependent parton density functions. The latter are associated with the QCD factorization approach to semi-inclusive...
