Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'First published in 1973, this influential work discusses Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to show how two of its predictions arise: first, that the ultimate fate of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse to form 'black holes'; and second, that there was a singularity in the past at the beginning of the universe. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory, including the necessary differential geometry, the authors discuss the significance of spacetime curvature and examine the properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations. They develop the theory of the causal structure of a general spacetime, and use it to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singularities under certain conditions. A foreword contributed by Abhay Ashtekar and a new preface from George Ellis help put the volume into context of the developments in the field over the past 50 years'--.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known laws of physics break down. They will occur inside black holes, and in the past are what might be construed as the beginning of the universe. To show how these predictions arise, the authors discuss the General Theory of Relativity in the large. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions. These conditions are shown to be satisfied in the vicinity of stars of more than twice the solar mass near the endpoint of their nuclear evolution, and in a time-reversed sense for the universe as a whole. In the first case, the singularity in our past. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in the book.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First edition, assumed second printing. An early cloth-bound printing of Hawking and Ellis' treatise. The copyright page reads "First published 1973 / First paperback edition 1974." Presumed to be the second printing of the first hardcover edition, perhaps issued simultaneously with the paperback edition. Science Magazine recorded receiving Hawking's book on August 31, 1973, and didn't mention a paperback, just a $28.50 hardcover--a pricey book compared to $7.95 for a cloth-bound first edition of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast of Champions, published about the same time. Uncommon nonetheless.Bound in publisher's navy cloth with spine lettered and stamped in silver. Near Fine with light wear to covers, former owner's name of acclaimed physicist "T[oichiro] Kinoshita" on front free endpaper dated 1977, original receipts from Cambridge University Press addressed to Kinoshita laid-in. In a Near Fine price-clipped dust jacket with light sunning to spine and modest edge wear. A nice copy of Hawking and Ellis' treatise on the theoretical physics of spacetime, intended for specialists of general relativity. Provenance of theoretical physicist Toichiro Kinoshita (1925-2023), who was teaching at Cornell University as a professor of physics when he purchased this book. Kinoshita was known for his extensive calculations in quantum electrodynamics (QED). His calculation of the electronic moment of the electron contributed to some of the great physics discoveries of the 20th century.
