Einstein At Work On Unified Field Theory - The Five-Dimensional Einstein-Bergmann Approach

by Tobias Schutz

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 <p> </p><p>This book meticulously examines over one hundred documents of research notes by Albert Einstein, many of which were previously unidentified, held in the archives of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech. Focused on Einstein''s quest for a five-dimensional unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism, the analysis provides unique insights into his mathematical skills, thinking, and modus operandi. This academic exploration also investigates the role of mathematics in Einstein’s theorizing with a special focus on projective geometry and delta functions.</p>

Renaissance Of General Relativity In Context

158,34€ + 10% CARD

 <div>This contributed volume explores the renaissance of general relativity after World War II, when it transformed from a marginal theory into a cornerstone of modern physics. Chapters explore key historical processes related to the theory of general relativity, in addition to presenting a thorough treatment of the relevant science behind these episodes. A broad historiographical framework is introduced first, thus providing the broad context in which the given computational approaches and case studies occurred. Written by an international and interdisciplinary group of expert authors, these chapters will bring readers to a more complete understanding of Einstein’s theory. Specific topics include:</div><div><ul><li>Social and citation networks</li><li>The Fock-Infeld dispute</li><li>Wheeler’s turn to gravitation theory</li><li>The position of general relativity in theories of fundamental interactions</li><li>The pursuit of a quantum theory of gravity</li><li>The emergence of dark matter in relation to cosmological models</li><li>Institutional frameworks for gravitational wave search in Europe</li></ul></div><div><i>The Renaissance of General Relativity in Context</i> is ideal for historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science. Students and researchers in physics will also be interested in the topics explored.</div>

Thinking About Space And Time - 100 Years Of Applying And Interpreting General Relativity

145,09€ + 10% CARD

 This volume offers an integrated understanding of how the theory of general relativity gained momentum after Einstein had formulated it in 1915. Chapters focus on the early reception of the theory in physics and philosophy and on the systematic questions that emerged shortly after Einstein''s momentous discovery. They are written by physicists, historians of science, and philosophers, and were originally presented at the conference titled <i>Thinking About Space and Time: 100 Years of Applying and Interpreting General Relativity</i>, held at the University of Bern from September 12-14, 2017. By establishing the historical context first, and then moving into more philosophical chapters, this volume will provide readers with a more complete understanding of early applications of general relativity (e.g., to cosmology) and of related philosophical issues. Because the chapters are often cross-disciplinary, they cover a wide variety of topics related to the general theory of relativity. These include:<div><ul><li>Heuristics used in the discovery of general relativity</li><li>Mach''s Principle</li><li>The structure of Einstein''s theory</li><li>Cosmology and the Einstein world</li><li>Stability of cosmological models</li><li>The metaphysical nature of spacetime</li><li>The relationship between spacetime and dynamics</li><li>The Geodesic Principle</li><li>Symmetries</li></ul></div><div><i>Thinking About Space and Time</i> will be a valuable resource for historians of science and philosophers who seek a deeper knowledge of the (early and later) uses of general relativity, as well as for physicists and mathematicians interested in exploring the wider historical and philosophical context of Einstein''s theory.<br></div>

Beyond Einstein - Perspectives On Geometry, Gravitation, And Cosmology In The Twentieth Century

171,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This volume explores the interplay between mathematical and physical research and the interactions of twentieth-century scientists within their academic communities. Beginning with Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the authors investigate a series of dramatic discoveries and rival theories in physics that influenced the development of modern differential geometry. Other sections recount the numerous methods, like the resurgence of Weyl geometry, used by geometers to solve the problems revealed by those same innovations in space-time physics. The effect of general relativity on astronomy is also addressed, namely how astronomers worked through new theories like inflationary cosmology and Phoenix models.</p><p>By including recent historical research and coupling this work with many disciplines’ unique perspectives, this text provides a rich picture of general relativity and cosmology over the course of the twentieth century. The increased study on the documentation of Einstein’s early scientific work has clarified the history of science for that time and profoundly altered the way scientists view their own work, as this interdisciplinary volume demonstrates.</p><div><br></div>

Towards A Theory Of Spacetime Theories

105,34€ + 10% CARD

 This contributed volume is the result of a July 2010 workshop at the University of Wuppertal Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies which brought together world-wide experts from physics, philosophy and history, in order to address a set of questions first posed in the 1950s: How do we compare spacetime theories? How do we judge, objectively, which is the "best" theory? Is there even a unique answer to this question?The goal of the workshop, and of this book, is to contribute to the development of a meta-theory of spacetime theories. Such a meta-theory would reveal insights about specific spacetime theories by distilling their essential similarities and differences, deliver a framework for a class of theories that could be helpful as a blueprint to build other meta-theories, and provide a higher level viewpoint for judging which theory most accurately describes nature. But rather than drawing a map in broad strokes, the focus is on particularly rich regions in the "space of spacetime theories."This work will be of interest to physicists, as well as philosophers and historians of science working with or interested in General Relativity and/or Space, Time and Gravitation more generally.

Einstein And The Changing Worldviews Of Physics

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions and consequences of Einstein's pathbreaking achievements that sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time, radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity.
