Special Theory of Relativity Bound With Relativity: A Very - Elementary Expositio

Informationen zum Autor Herbert Dingle, Sir Oliver Lodge Klappentext The Special Theory of Relativity:Based on a short course of lectures delivered in the late 1930s, this short book presents the theory of Special Relativity by formulating a redefinition of the measurement of length, and thus will appeal to students of physics who wish to think through Einstein's thought without the encumbrance of quasi-scientific concepts and language. Relativity: A Very Elementary Exposition:This brief lecture, delivered in October 1921 and published for the first time in 1925, offers an explanation of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity for the non-scientist, giving a general overview that does justice both to the actual physics involved, and the wider implications of this revolutionary discovery of the 20th century. Zusammenfassung This volume binds together two classic introductory books on Relativity published in 1940 and 1926 respectively. Inhaltsverzeichnis The Special Theory of Relativity: Preface 1.
