Download or read book Relativity and Common Sense written by Hermann Bondi and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This radically reoriented and popular presentation of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity derives its concepts from Newtonian ideas rather than by opposing them. It demonstrates that time is relative rather than absolute, that high speeds affect the nature of time, and that acceleration affects speed, time, and mass. Very little mathematics is required, and 60 illustrations augment the text.

Download or read book Physical Reality and Common Sense written by Walter Edwards and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional interpretation of modern physics is difficult to comprehend because it is not consistent with our sense based paradigm for physical reality (i.e., common sense). For example, the conventional interpretation of special relativity assumes time travel to the past is possible, while it is obviously not possible according to our common sense paradigm. In Physical Reality and Common Sense, John Bell's preferred frame interpretation of special relativity and quantum mechanics, supported by the now known structure of the universe, is used to construct an entirely new description of physical reality that will change the very foundations of modern physics.

Book excerpt: Much of this book was written a long time ago when the author first became aware of the concepts of Special and General Relativity. At the time he assumed that the subject was well thought out and understood by people more knowledgeable and probably more intelligent than himself. His goal was to learn from them and to understand the phenomena that was being described. He could not, however, accept the prevalent idea that the workings of Nature were beyond the ability of mere mortals to understand at the 'common sense' level. As he studied the subject, he learned that this dictum was an intellectual 'con game' by men who were acting in the manner of a priesthood defending the 'true faith' rather than scientists and who, when challenged on points which a bright physics or engineering student would easily understand, showed a rather limited ability to reason and covered their limitations by asserting that it was the challenger's limitations which prevented understanding. The dictum is not true, the mechanisms by which Nature operates are, for the most part, easily understood by reasonably bright (and interested) high school students, and the necessary mathematics and arguments to evaluate their validity of the are within knowledge of sophomore students of engineering and/or physics.(A knowledge of Integral Calculus, Elementary Physics, and Dimensional Analysis is all that is required for reader to check the material presented for himself.) It is the purpose of this book to make these mechanisms understandable to the general reader. This book contains three sections. The main section, 'The Einstein Hoax', starts with a description of the early history of Special and General Relativity and proceeds to show that the earlier published Lorentz Transformation-Aether Theory is, except for philosophical interpretation, identical to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and, in fact is a special case solution of that theory. As such, the Aether Theory must be a valid option if Special Relativity is to be considered valid. The Aether Theory, however, is easily understood in terms of 'common sense' while an examination of the conclusions of Special Relativity yield logical absurdities which no rational mind should be willing to accept. But, fair is fair, the proof of a theory or its interpretation is, and should be, in the experimental evidence. Fortunately, experiments in the field of Quantum Physics have demonstrated that photons emitted as pairs are coupled by their 'quantum numbers' (in this case their direction of polarization) and changing the plane of polarization of one of the photons changes the plane of polarization of the other. The interesting conclusion of these experiments is that the velocity of that coupling is at least four times the velocity of light and may even be infinite. A minor modification of the experimental setup would allow the effect to be used to determine the absolute velocity of the laboratory through space to an accuracy of better than 400 miles per second. Since the interpretation associated with Special Relativity cannot tolerate the idea of an absolute velocity, we must revert to the Lorentz Transformation-Aether Theory because Dr. Einstein's interpretation of Space-Time falls on its face. General Relativity is based upon the Principles of Relativity and of Equivalence, but a glance at its conclusions (the gravitational equivalents of the Lorentz Transformations for Velocity effects), shows that it erroneously yields results inconsistent with those principles. It yields a gravitational transformation for time which is not multiplicatively commutative (the property which allows Special Relativity to work) and yields a transformation for length of unity (the equivalent Lorentz Transformation for Length is the reciprocal of the Lorentz Transforma

Book excerpt: The theory of relativity has become a cornerstone of modern physics. Over the course of time it has been scrutinized in a multitude of experiments and has always been verified with high accuracy. The correctness of this theory can no longer be called into question. Right after its discovery by Albert Einstein in 1905, special relativity was only gradually accepted because it made numerous predictions contradicting common sense, fervently castigated by Einstein, and also defied experiment for too long a time. It was only with the advent of particle or high energy physics that matter could be accelerated to very high velocities, close to the speed of light, which not only verified special relativity but also made it a requirement for machine construction.
Book Synopsis The Common Sense Universe by : Vivian Robinson
Download or read book The Common Sense Universe written by Vivian Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Sense Universe tells the story of the universe, from its smallest sub atomic particles to its large scale structure. It uses only three space dimensions and time, known or demonstrated physical principles, along with known physical constants. It removes the mystique from topics like Einstein's relativity theories and quantum mechanics. It uses rational, common sense ideas, to describe the physics of how the universe works. That is followed by simplified maths that show the magnitude of the physical principle, while not losing scientific integrity. It shows how the structure of individual particles gives them mass, electric charge, magnetic moment, spin, de Broglie wavelength, spin, parity, duality and Einstein's special relativity corrections. It also shows the origins of the elementary particles. It gives the structure and properties of some of them, such as pions, muons and more. The common sense universe goes on to show how protons and neutrons form nuclei. It is a quark and gluon free zone that explain many current unknowns and gives a better match with observation than standard models. It shows how quantum properties like quantized orbits and tunneling have simple classical physics explanations.Having outlined the properties of all matter, it shows how nucleons change a property of free space gives rise to gravity. The one simple equation derives Newton's inverse square law as the first approximation, Einstein's field equations as a second approximation and the exact solution. It shows the "experts" did not understand Einstein's mathematics. His work predicts that gravity gets weaker than inverse square as mass increases. Weaker gravity cannot give rise to black holes. Einstein never believed in them. Gravity being weaker than inverse square was proven by the anomalous precession of Mercury's orbit. Gravity weaker than inverse square means an infinite steady state universe won't collapse. The Common Sense Universe shows how an infinite steady state universe gives a better match with observation than the Big Bang theory. It is supported by the necessary maths. Along the way it answers many unknowns about galaxies. Galaxy rotation is as expected.
Book Synopsis Einstein Didn't Say That by : Don Griffin
Download or read book Einstein Didn't Say That written by Don Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Einstein Didn't Say That" is a lighthearted but respectful exploration of the everyday logic behind special and general relativity. The first person to use the term 'curved space' was not Einstein, and not a physicist, but a reporter for the New York Times, who needed a catchy headline. What did Einstein really say, or not say, about curved space, time travel, wormholes, traveling twins, extra dimensions, multiple universes, dark matter and more? Have we been sold more sizzle than steak? With the help of dozens of quotes from well-known physicists, but mainly from Einstein himself, the author tries to separate Einstein's original ideas from some of the speculation that those ideas inspired in others. This is not a textbook or a history of physics, but rather the personal story of an ordinary guy's delight in discovering firsthand the genius, the logic, and the good old common sense in Einstein's work. When we take the time to look at what Einstein did say, and why, we can go on to develop our own opinions about the multitude of subsequent theories and ideas which claim to contain the DNA of relativity. An enjoyable pursuit!

Book Synopsis Introduction to Special Relativity by : Robert Resnick
Download or read book Introduction to Special Relativity written by Robert Resnick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1991-01-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an excellent introduction to the theory of special relativity. Professor Resnick presents a fundamental and unified development of the subject with unusually clear discussions of the aspects that usually trouble beginners. He includes, for example, a section on the common sense of relativity. His presentation is lively and interspersed with historical, philosophical and special topics (such as the twin paradox) that will arouse and hold the reader's interest. You'll find many unique features that help you grasp the material, such as worked-out examples,summary tables,thought questions and a wealth of excellent problems. The emphasis throughout the book is physical. The experimental background, experimental confirmation of predictions, and the physical interpretation of principles are stressed. The book treats relativistic kinematics, relativistic dynamics, and relativity and electromagnetism and contains special appendices on the geometric representation of space-time and on general relativity. Its organization permits an instructor to vary the length and depth of his treatment and to use the book either with or following classical physics. These features make it an ideal companion for introductory courses.
Book Synopsis What Is Relativity? by : Jeffrey Bennett
Download or read book What Is Relativity? written by Jeffrey Bennett and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renowned astrophysicist’s approachable introduction to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and its application in our daily lives. It is commonly assumed that if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole, it would suck Earth and the rest of the planets into oblivion. Yet, as prominent author and astrophysicist Jeffrey Bennett points out, black holes don't suck. With that simple idea in mind, Bennett begins an entertaining introduction to Einstein's theories of relativity, describing the amazing phenomena readers would actually experience if they took a trip to a black hole. The theory of relativity reveals the speed of light as the cosmic speed limit, the mind-bending ideas of time dilation and curvature of spacetime, and what may be the most famous equation in history: E = mc2. Indeed, the theory of relativity shapes much of our modern understanding of the universe. It is not “just a theory”―every major prediction of relativity has been tested to exquisite precision, and its practical applications include the Global Positioning System (GPS). Amply illustrated and written in clear, accessible prose, Bennett's book proves anyone can grasp the basics of Einstein's ideas. His intuitive, nonmathematical approach gives a wide audience its first real taste of how relativity works and why it is so important to science and the way we view ourselves as human beings. “Well-written and uniquely readable . . . Bennett carefully avoids bombastic statements and “spectacularization” of the subject.” —Alberto Nicolis, Columbia University “I have read lots of introductions to relativity, but none is as clear and compelling as this one.” —Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute
Book Synopsis Special Relativity by : Michael Tsamparlis
Download or read book Special Relativity written by Michael Tsamparlis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing a new book on the classic subject of Special Relativity, on which numerous important physicists have contributed and many books have already been written, can be like adding another epicycle to the Ptolemaic cosmology. Furthermore, it is our belief that if a book has no new elements, but simply repeats what is written in the existing literature, perhaps with a different style, then this is not enough to justify its publication. However, after having spent a number of years, both in class and research with relativity, I have come to the conclusion that there exists a place for a new book. Since it appears that somewhere along the way, mathem- ics may have obscured and prevailed to the degree that we tend to teach relativity (and I believe, theoretical physics) simply using “heavier” mathematics without the inspiration and the mastery of the classic physicists of the last century. Moreover current trends encourage the application of techniques in producing quick results and not tedious conceptual approaches resulting in long-lasting reasoning. On the other hand, physics cannot be done a ́ la carte stripped from philosophy, or, to put it in a simple but dramatic context A building is not an accumulation of stones! As a result of the above, a major aim in the writing of this book has been the distinction between the mathematics of Minkowski space and the physics of r- ativity.
Book Synopsis Time, Tense, and Reference by : Aleksandar Jokic
Download or read book Time, Tense, and Reference written by Aleksandar Jokic and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many branches of philosophy, the philosophy of time and the philosophy of language are more intimately interconnected than most, yet their practitioners have long pursued independent paths. This book helps to bridge the gap between the two groups. As it makes clear, it is increasingly difficult to do philosophy of language without any metaphysical commitments as to the nature of time, and it is equally difficult to resolve the metaphysical question of whether time is tensed or tenseless independently of the philosophy of language. Indeed, one is tempted to see philosophy of language and metaphysics as a continuum with no sharp boundary. The essays, which were written expressly for this book by leading philosophers of language and philosophers of time, discuss the philosophy of language and its implications for the philosophy of time and vice versa. The intention is not only to further dialogue between philosophers of language and of time but also to present new theories to advance the state of knowledge in the two fields. The essays are organized in two sections—one on the philosophy of tensed language, the other on the metaphysics of time.
