Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Relativity and Gravitation Chapter II. Is intended so to bring the mind of the reader into contact with certain philosophical prob lems presented to us by our experiences with the external world and our efforts to learn the facts about it, that he may approach the subject of rela tivity with an appreciation of the place it occupies as a phase of human thought and a pillar of the scientific structure. Until the reader is aware of the existence of these problems and the directions taken by the efforts, successful and unsuccessful, to un ravel them, he is not equipped to comprehend the doctrine of relativity at all; he is in much the same case as a child whose education had reached only the primer stage, if asked to read the masterpieces of literature. He lacks not alone the vocabulary, but equally the mental background on which the vocabulary is based. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Space, Time and Gravitation written by Arthur Stanley Eddington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Stanley Eddington is one of the most influential astrophysicists of the 20th century. Born in Great Britain, he is credited as being a leading teacher of Einstein's theory of relativity in the English world. He is considered a great philosopher of science, and was a boisterous advocate for the popularization of science until his death in 1944. This book, Space, Theory, also titled Space, Time, and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory is one of his most important and well-read books. Originally published in 1920, this book was written at a time when information from Germany would have been limited, and thus many of Einstein's theories had not yet been completely digested by the Western world. The purpose of Space, Theory is to present the theory of relativity to those without a strong scientific or mathematical background. While mathematical equations do make frequent appearances throughout the text, they are complemented by detailed textual explanations and real-world examples. The book is presented in a logical manner. The first chapter discusses the very nature of geometry, and how Euclidean geometry is not sufficient for a discussion of the theory of relativity. One must always consider the dimension of time, Eddington argues. It is this discussion that sets the stage for the remainder of the theories presented in this book. Almost one hundred years after it was written, there are still few better books introducing Einstein's theory of relativity to the layman. Eddington is gifted in taking immensely complex theories and breaking them down to a level that demonstrates their significance in every day life. If you are at all interested in astrophysics, Space, Theory is a must read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mathematical Theory of Relativity The reader is expected to have a general acquaintance with the less technical discussion of the theory given in Space, Time and Gravitation, although there is not often occasion to make direct reference to it. But it is eminently desirable to have a general grasp of the revolution of thought associated with the theory of Relativity before approaching it along the narrow lines of strict mathematical deduction. In the former work we ex plained how the older conceptions of physics had become untenable, and traced the gradual ascent to the ideas which must supplant them. Here our task is to formulate mathematically this new conception of the world and to follow out the consequences to the fullest extent. The present widespread interest in the theory arose from the verification of certain minute deviations from Newtonian laws. To those who are still hesitating and reluctant to leave the old faith, these deviations will remain the chief centre of interest; but for those who have caught the spirit of the new ideas the observational predictions form only a minor part of the subject. It is claimed for the theory that it leads to an understanding of the world of physics clearer and more penetrating than that previously attained, and it has been my aim to develop the theory in a form which throws most light on the origin and significance of the great laws of physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Einstein Theory of Relativity: A Concise Statement Omers was precisely what had been predicted theoretically by Einstein many years since. This striking confirmation has led certain German scientists to assert that no scientific discovery of such importance has been made since Newton's theory of gravitation was promulgated. This suggestion, however, was put aside by Dr. Einstein himself when he was interviewed by a correspond ent of the New York Times at his home in Berlin. To this corre spondent he expressed the difference between his conception and the law of gravitation in the following terms.

Download or read book Relativity the Special and General Theory written by Albert Einstein and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of a master, Relativity, the Special and the General Theory: A Popular Exposition, Volume One is Albert Einstein's own attempt to present his theories of relativity to non-physicists. The book is composed of three parts. Part one presents the Special Theory of Relativity and the intimate connection of space and time (spacetime, or "ST"). Part two highlights the General Theory of Relativity, in which Einstein argues that space and time are not absolute and are modified by gravitational forces. In part three, Einstein applies these theories to a consideration of the universe as a whole, with specific discussion about Newton's Law and a sketch of the structure of space according to the General Theory of Relativity. The book frequently refers to an analogy involving a man on a train and a man on and embankment, to which Einstein applies his theories to present varying outcomes. These analogies greatly enhance the layperson's understanding. Einstein's stated goal in Relativity, the Special and the General Theory was to "present the ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form," and in this regard he was largely successful. One does not need to have an understanding of the mathematical principles of theoretical physics in order to read this book. However, that is not to say this book is not a challenging read. The layman will likely find some of the passages quite dense, and the mathematical calculations that are presented may be difficult to follow. While this will not greatly impact one's surface level understanding of Einstein's theories, one's ability to fully grasp the theories presented will depend on their scientific and mathematical background. Relativity, the Special and the General Theory is highly recommended. It is an important work by one of the world's great thinkers, and it presents complex theories in an accessible manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of General Relativity and Gravitation At the Conference on Recent Advances in Physics held in the Physics Laboratory of the University of Toronto from January 5 to 26, 1921, a course on Einstein's Relativity and Gravitation Theory, consisting of fifteen lectures and two colloquia, was delivered by the author. The first six of these lectures were devoted to what is known as Special Relativity, and the remaining ones to Einstein's General Relativity and Gravitation Theory and to relativistic Electromagnetism. In view of the time limitations only the essentials of these theories were dealt with, due attention, however, being given to the critically conceptual side of the subject. The University was kind enough to undertake the publication of that part of the course which dealt with general relativistic questions, on the express understanding that my prospective readers should be assumed to be already familiar with the special theory of relativity. In this connection it was suggested by Prof. McLennan that those unacquainted with the older theory should be referred to my book of 1914 (The Theory of Relativity, Macmillan, London) and that it would therefore be desirable to make the present volume, as much as possible, uniform in exposition and style with that work. With such requirements in view this little book was shaped, only a few pages at the beginning having been used in recalling the essentials of the special relativity theory. The treatment, as compared with the Toronto lectures, has been made somewhat more systematic and the subject matter has, here and there, been considerably extended. In this respect the author has been partly influenced by a larger course on Relativity, Gravitation and Electromagnetism delivered, in the time of writing, during the last Summer Quarter at the University of Chicago. Such is especially the case with Chapter III in which care has been taken to give the readers a systematic exposition of the calculus of generally covariant beings called Tensors. The exposition follows here mainly upon Einstein's own presentation of the subject, with the difference, however, that due emphasis has been laid upon the distinction between metrical and nonmetrical properties of tensors.
