Sinopsis

""Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View of the Theory of Relativity"" is a book written by Alfred A. Robb and published in 1911. The book presents a new perspective on the theory of relativity, focusing on the concept of optical geometry. Robb argues that the traditional approach to relativity, which relies heavily on mathematical equations, is limited in its ability to fully explain the phenomena of motion and time. Instead, he proposes a new framework based on the principles of optics, which he believes can provide a more comprehensive understanding of relativity. The book is divided into several sections, including an introduction to the concept of optical geometry, a discussion of the relationship between motion and time, and an exploration of the implications of this new theory for the nature of space and the universe as a whole. Overall, ""Optical Geometry of Motion"" offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most important scientific theories of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

He however believes that, in the first presentment of a theory, there are considerable advantages in stating explicitly only its principal features. To cover np a general standpoint under a mass of detail is to run the risk of obscuring it altogether. There is always the danger that the reader may not be able to see the wood for the trees a danger which is becoming very real in much modern mathematics. The substance of the following essay was originally intended by the writer to form a chapter of a book of semi-philosophical character upon which he is engaged. In view, however, of the amount of attention which the subject of Relativity is at present attracting, it seemed to him that this portion might prove of sufficient interest to warrant its separate publication. From the standpoint of the pure mathematician Geometry is a branch of formal logic, but there are more aspects of things than one, and the geometrician has but to look at the name of his science to be reminded that it had its origin in a definite physical problem. That problem in an extended form still retains its interest. Cambridge, May 137, 1911. A. A. ROBB.
