PDF-(BOOS)-Relativity: The Special and General Theory (Dover Books on Physics)

From the age of Galileo until the early years of the 20th century scientists grappled with seemingly insurmountable paradoxes inherent in the theories of classical physics With the publication of Albert Einsteins special and general theories of relativity however traditional approaches to solving the riddles of space and time crumbled In their place stood a radically new view of the physical world providing answers to many of the unsolved mysteries of preEinsteinian physicsAcclaimed as the pinnacle of scientific philosophy the theories of relativity tend to be regarded as the exclusive domain of highly trained scientific minds The great physicist himself disclaimed this exclusionary view and in this book he explains both theories in their simplest and most intelligible form for the layman not versed in the mathematical foundations of theoretical physicsIn addition to the theories themselves this book contains a final part presenting fascinating considerations on the universe as a whole Appendices cover the simple derivation of the Lorentz transformation Minkowskis fourdimensional space and the experimental confirmation of the general theory of relativity Students teachers and other scientifically minded readers will appreciate this inexpensive and accessible interpretation of one of the worlds greatest intellectual accomplishments.

Perhaps the most balanced, well-written account of fundamental fluid dynamics ever published. Mises\' classic avoids the formidable mathematical structure of fluid dynamics, while conveying — by often unorthodox methods — a full understanding of the physical phenomena and mathematical concepts of aeronautical engineering. An outstanding textbook. — Scientific, Medical and Technical Books. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this outstanding text surveys aeroelastic problems, their historical background, basic physical concepts, and the principles of analysis. It has also proven highly useful to designers and engineers concerned with flutter, structural dynamics, flight loads, and related subjects. This book opens by setting the mathematical background (differential geometry, hypersurfaces embedded in spacetime, foliation of spacetime by a family of space-like hypersurfaces), and then turns to the 3+1 decomposition of the Einstein equations. White dwarfs, neutron stars, and (solar mass) black holes are the collapsed cores of stars which, near the ends of their luminous lives, have shed most of their mass in supernova explosions or other, less spectacular, instabilities. Here gravity crushes matter to realms that lie far beyond present empirical knowledge. This book explores the diverse forms that such compact stars can possibly take, as constrained by the laws of nature: the general principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, the properties of nuclear matter deduced from nuclei, and the asymptotic freedom of quarks at high density. The book is self contained. It reviews general relativity, essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics, and general features of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes it includes background on such matters as stellar formation and evolution, the discovery of pulsars and associated phenomena, and the strange-matter hypothesis. The book develops a theory for the constitution of neutron stars and the more exotic Hyperon Stars, Hybrid Stars (containing a quark matter core surrounded by an intricate lattice of quark and hadronic matter) and Strange Stars and Dwarfs (composed of the three light quark flavors sheathed in a solid skin of heavy ions). This second edition has been revised throughout to clarify discussions and bring data up to date it includes new figures, several new sections, and new chapters on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions.
