  • Special Relativity: A First Encounter

    100 years since Einstein

    by Domenico Giulini ...
    Special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world, and its place in the universe, would be unthinkable. This book gives a concise, elementary, yet exceptionally modern, introduction to special relativity. It is a gentle yet serious 'first encounter', in that it conveys a true understanding rather than purely reports the basic ... Read more

  • Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You

    A Guide to the Universe

    by Marcus Chown ...
    The two towering achievements of modern physics are quantum theory and Einstein's general theory of relativity. Together, they explain virtually everything about the world we live in. But, almost a century after their advent, most people haven't the slightest clue what either is about.Did you know that there's so much empty space inside matter that the entire human race could be squeezed into the ...

  • The Hunt for Vulcan

    . . . And How Albert Einstein Destroyed a Planet, Discovered Relativity, and Deciphered the Universe

    by Thomas Levenson ...
    The captivating, all-but-forgotten story of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and the search for a planet that never existedFor more than fifty years, the world’s top scientists searched for the “missing” planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton’s theories of gravity. Countless hours were spent on the hunt for the elusive orb, and some of the era’s most skilled astronomers even ... Read more

  • An Entertaining Simulation of The Special Theory of Relativity using methods of Classical Physics

    by Vadim N. Matveev; Oleg V. Matvejev ...
    The principles of the special theory of relativity are extremely simple. Knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem and an ability to perform the simplest algebraic operations are sufficient to be conversant with the kinematics of the special theory of relativity, as well as the time dilation and contraction of the longitudinal dimensions of moving bodies that are associated with relative motion. ...

  • Sensitive Chaos

    The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air

    by Theodor Schwenk, Jacques Cousteau ...
    Translated by J. Collis ...
    Why does water always take a winding course in streams and rivers? Do common principles and rhythms underlie its movement - whether it be in the sea, in a plant, or even in the blood of a human being? In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad ...

  • Albert Einstein : The Genius Who Failed School - Biography Book Best Sellers | Children's Biography Books

    by Baby Professor ...
    Albert Einstein lived a very interesting life. When he was young, his teacher said that he would never be anything great because he was stupid. We all know how wrong his teacher was because Einstein grew to formulate the most complex of all theories. Einstein’s story would tell us to never give up. Read and learn from his biography today! ... Read more

  • Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel

    by Banesh Hoffmann, Helen Dukas ...
    “Hoffmann does more than convey the emotional impact of Einstein’s science on Einstein. He tries to make the general reader see the problems that concerned Einstein and understand the kinds of theories he constructed to solve them... This calls for scientific popularization of a high order... Hoffmann [...] does it very effectively.” — Martin Klein and Robert Merton, The New York Times“... ... Read more

  • Disruptive

    Rewriting the rules of physics

    by Steven B Bryant ...
    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 ... Read more

  • Variational Approach to Gravity Field Theories

    From Newton to Einstein and Beyond

    by Alberto Vecchiato ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts of differential geometry and derive the field and geodesic equations from purely geometrical properties. Demonstration of the physical meaning then requires the ... Read more
