Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The transition from classical to modern physics in the ?rst half of the twentieth c- tury by quantum and relativity theories affected some of the most fundamental notions of physical thinking, such as matter, radiation, space, and time. This tran- tion thus represents a challenge for any attempt to understand the structures of a s- enti?c revolution. The present four-volume work aims at a comprehensive account of the way in which the work of Albert Einstein and his contemporaries changed our understanding of space, time, and gravitation. The conceptual framework of classical nineteenth-century physics had to be fundamentally restructured and reinterpreted in order to arrive at a theory of gravitation compatible with the new notions of space and time established in 1905 by Einsteins special theory of relativity. Whereas the classical theory of gravitation postulated an instantaneous action at a distance, Einsteins new relativistic kinematics rather suggested an analogy between the gravitational ?eld and the electromagnetic ?eld, propagating with a ?nite speed. It is therefore not surprising that Einstein was not alone in addressing the problem of formulating a theory of gravitation that complies with the kinematics of relativity t- ory. The analysis of these alternative approaches, as well as of earlier alternative approaches to gravitation within classical physics, turns out to be crucial for identi- ing the necessities and contingencies in the actual historical development.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This four-volume work is the most comprehensive documentation and study of the development of general relativity, one of the fundamental physical theories of the 20th century. Einstein's famous Zurich notebook, which documents pivotal steps toward general relativity, is reproduced here for the first time and transcribed in its entirety. The research by Einstein herein forms a vital part of his creation of the theory of General Relativity in 1915 from Special Relativity (1905) and Newton's law of gravitation. Additional sources from Einstein and others are presented here in translation for the first time. Also included are detailed commentaries and analyses of these sources based on a close reading of the documents, supplemented by interpretations from leading historians of relativity. All in all, the facets of this work, based on more than a decade of research, combine to constitute one of the most detailed studies of a scientific revolution ever written.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 2128 pp. Englisch.
