This is such a book. Max Born is a Nobel Laureate (1955) and one of the world's great physicists: in this book he analyses and interprets the theory of Einsteinian relativity. The result is undoubtedly the most lucid and insightful of all the books that have been written to explain the revolutionary theory that marked the end of the classical and the beginning of the modern era of physics. The author follows a quasi-historical method of presentation. The book begins with a review of the classical physics, covering such topics as origins of space and time measurements, geometric axioms, Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy, concepts of equilibrium and force, laws of motion, inertia, mass, momentum and energy, Newtonian world system (absolute space and absolute time, gravitation, celestial mechanics, centrifugal forces, and absolute space), laws of optics (the corpuscular and undulatory theories, speed of light, wave theory, Doppler effect, convection of light by matter), electrodynamics (including magnetic induction, electromagnetic theory of light, electromagnetic ether, electromagnetic laws of moving bodies, electromagnetic mass, and the contraction hypothesis). Born then takes up his exposition of Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, discussing the concept of simultaneity, kinematics, Einstein's mechanics and dynamics, relativity of arbitrary motions, the principle of equivalence, the geometry of curved surfaces, and the space-time continuum, among other topics. Born then points out some predictions of the theory of relativity and its implications for cosmology, and indicates what is being sought in the unified field theory. This account steers a middle course between vague popularizations and complex scientific presentations. This is a careful discussion of principles stated in thoroughly acceptable scientific form, yet in a manner that makes it possible for the reader who has no scientific training to understand it. Only high school algebra has been used in explaining the nature of classical physics and relativity, and simple experiments and diagrams are used to illustrate each step. The layman and the beginning student in physics will find this an immensely valuable and usable introduction to relativity. This Dover 1962 edition was greatly revised and enlarged by Dr. Born.

The text begins with an exposition of those aspects of tensor calculus and differential geometry needed for a proper exposition of the subject. The discussion then turns to the spacetime of general relativity and to geodesic motion, comparisons and contrasts with Newton's theory being drawn where appropriate. A brief consideration of the field equations is followed by a discussion of physics in the vicinity of massive objects, including an elementary treatment of black holes. Particular attention is paid to those aspects of the theory that have observational consequences. The book concludes with brief introductory chapters on gravitational radiation and cosmology, and includes an appendix that reviews the special theory of relativity.

They provided a radically new way of looking at the physical world and explanations for many questions unanswered by classical physics. Unfortunately, many laypeople consider relativity so abstruse and complicated that they despair of ever understanding it. In reality, the ideas, although profound, are quite simple. That simplicity is strikingly illuminated in this delightfully nontechnical book, which explains relativity in a straightforward, carefully illustrated manner the intelligent layperson can understand. A little high-school geometry will enable the reader to follow the discussion. Moreover, the book includes more than 60 drawings to illustrate concepts more clearly than verbal explanations could ever do. Beginning with the questions "What is Time?" and "What is Space?" the author gradually introduces concepts from ordinary geometry needed to follow the development of Einstein's ideas. Having grasped this foundation, the reader is prepared to understand the specific nature and ramifications of relativity theory. To further increase comprehension, the book is planned so that the text and illustrations face each other on a two-page spread, making it easy for the reader to refer from the text to the illustrations. Clear, engrossing and well-balanced, this remarkably accessible treatment offers an ideal introduction to one of the most important physical theories of the 20th century. It can be read with profit by high-school and college students, teachers, scientists, or any reader fascinated by Einstein's epoch-making theories and their far-reaching implications Language A language of the resource Engels https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/9b574b3f196bce9f0876c4ed6ec937bd.png a953da1c41400921b237b4d9e038f5a1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

En ondanks het feit dat Einstein in 1955 is overleden en natuurkunde sindsdien een stormachtige ontwikkeling heeft doorgemaakt, is dit boek ook nu nog een onovertroffen inleiding tot dit moeilijke maar zeer interessante onderwerp. Hier is de meester zelf aan het woord! De natuurkundige grondslagen van de speciale en algemene relativiteitstheorie worden duidelijk en begrijpelijk behandeld.

Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context NAT0900 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Albert Einstein Title A name given to the resource Sidelight on relativity Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Dover Description An account of the resource In 1905, a German technical journal, Annalen der Physik, published a remarkable paper by a young clerk in the patent office at Berne, Switzerland. The clerk was Albert Einstein. The paper outlined his Special Theory of Relativity, a revolutionary physical theory which discarded the concept of absolute motion in favour of relative motion in the context of a four-dimensional continuum of space-time. It proved to be the most profound revolution in physics since Newton. About ten years later, building on his earlier work, Einstein formulated the General Theory of Relativity in which he offered a new solution to the great problem of gravitation, postulating the non-Euclidean character of the space-time continuum. Together, the two theories constituted a radically reoriented way of looking at the physical universe, an approach that solved many of the unresolved difficulties of classical mechanics and paved the way for great advances in 20th-century physics. This concise volume contains two addresses by Dr. Einstein outlining aspects of the theories. Ether and Relativity (1920), delivered at the University of Leyden, discusses the properties demanded of the ether of space by the theory of relativity. Geometry and Experience (1921), given at the Prussian Academy of Sciences, describes the limits within which the Euclidean or any other practical geometric system can be held to be approximately true in connection with the concept of a finite universe. Both lectures are reprinted here complete and unabridged; both express elegant ideas in simple prose devoid of complicated equations or abstruse terminology; both offer scientists and laypeople unparalleled insight into the seminal thinking of the 20th century's greatest physicist.

Brian Ridley's book sets out to survey in simple, non-mathematical terms what physics has to say about the fundamental structure of the universe. He deals with all the basic concepts of modern physics: elementary particles, black holes, gravity, quantum theory, time, mass, relativity and energy; this new edition also includes coverage of more recently emerging ideas including strings, imaginary time and chaos. Ridley's clear and witty account gives an exciting introduction to the non-specialist while offering a fresh perspective to scientists themselves.

Het was professor Anton Zeilinger gelukt om de trillingstoestand van een Photon te teleporteren naar een ander Photon. Zeilinger had zijn experiment al aangekondigd in Einsteins Schleier, zijn veel geprezen inleiding in de kwantumfysica, die nu in het Nederlands is vertaald onder de titel Toeva!. Albert Einstein geloofde dat de wereld 'ontdekt' kon worden. Als men de sluier van onwetendheid weg zou halen, zou de ware vorm van de wereld tevoorschijn komen. Maar de kwantumfysica zette dat wereldbeeld op zijn kop. In de subatomaire wereld van de kwantumdeeltjes vervagen de ons zo vertrouwde categorieën van tijd, ruimte en causaliteit. In plaats daarvan blijken termen als 'toeval' en vooral 'informatie' van doorslaggevend belang om deze wereld te begrijpen. Dus de wereld hangt aan elkaar van toevalligheden? Dus er bestaat geen natuur die men kan ontdekken en ontsluieren, zoals Einstein dat geloofde? In dit boek geeft topwetenschapper Anton Zeilinger een zinderende uitleg van een wereld die het menselijke verstand te boven gaat. Language A language of the resource Nederlands
