Einstein THE Meaning OF Relativity

Einstein, Albert: The Meaning of Relativity, Fifth Edition: Including the Relativistic Theory of the Non-Symmetric Field, Princeton University Press, ISBN: 0691120277
einige Lagerspuren Editorial Reviews\n\nAmazon.com Review\nIn 1921, a young Albert Einstein traveled to America to give four lectures at Princeton University, paving the way for a more complete acceptance of his theory of general relativity. These lectures are published together as The Meaning of Relativity, and were revised with each new edition until Einstein's death. Despite Einstein's profession that he thought without using words, his examples and descriptions of the relativistic world he perceived are clear and easy to follow. Unfortunately for nontechnical readers, his presentation requires deep diversions into mathematics often enough to break up the flow of his narrative, and they may find this rough terrain. But for the mathematically sophisticated or the devoted scientific historian, these lectures are profoundly illuminating--Einstein's bright, quiet genius shines through in the simplicity and economy of his writing. Two appendices follow the lectures: the first covers advances and experimental verifications after 1921; the second, Relativistic Theory of the Non-Symmetric Field, was Einstein's last scientific paper. The Meaning of Relativity documents a revolution in progress and yields to the careful student deeper truths than those found in physics textbooks. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.\n\nReview\nA condensed unified presentation intended for one who has already gone through a standard text and digested the mechanics of tensor theory and the physical basis of relativity. Einstein's little book then serves as an excellent tying-together of loose ends and as a broad survey of the subject. -- Physics Today , ISBN-13: 9780691120270

As New Hardcover NA In this book, an author has tried to explain whether nature of existence will be Universal or particular, relative concept or universal object? In this context, he has critically explained the different views of Nyaya Sutra of Gautam and Navya Naiyayikas. He explains the nature of existence on the basis of Krtakas and Akrtakas (products or non-products) and points out that we never destroy and object in to only we can able to change the shape or size or both. This means that object remains but forms of its may change. An author explains the other idealistic & realistic views of Buddhist especially the Sarvastivadins, Vigyanvadins, Dignaga and Dharmakirti. In this text, the nature of existence has been demonstrated by figure and symbols. By this figure it states that the nature of existence is momentary which is also called 'Simple' or 'Swalakasana. It could be said that whatever is real is existent in the context of time and not in space. It has no duality and free from illusion or hallucination as maintained by Buddhist logicians. This book will be useful for scholars and general readers as well. CONTENTS: Preface; Chap.
