The Principle of Relativity

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Principle of Relativity' is a monumental collection of the original research papers that fundamentally transformed our understanding of the physical universe. This volume brings together the groundbreaking insights of H.A. Lorentz, Albert Einstein, H. Minkowski, and H. Weyl, documenting the evolution of both the special and general theories of relativity.The collection begins with the early electrodynamic explorations of Lorentz and progresses to Einstein's revolutionary 1905 paper, 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies.' It further includes Minkowski's vital contribution on the four-dimensional continuum, which established the mathematical framework for spacetime, and Weyl's extensions into the nature of gravitation. By presenting these papers in their original context, the work offers an unparalleled look at the rigorous intellectual journey that led to the overturning of Newtonian physics.As a primary source in theoretical physics, 'The Principle of Relativity' remains an indispensable resource for physicists, mathematicians, and historians of science. It captures a pivotal moment in human thought, providing a direct connection to the foundational concepts of modern cosmology and high-energy physics.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
