James Clerk Maxwell turned the scientific world upside down in the late nineteenth century with his theory of electromagnetism, which predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate in vacuum with a constant speed. His prediction was at odds with classical mechanics, and some scientists devised new ideas to reconcile the discrepancy. One of them was Albert Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity in the early twentieth century, which became a pillar of science.The equation E = mc2 sparked a revolution of perspective-resulting in the perspective of absolute time and space that had prevailed in Newtonian mechanics being displaced by the perspective of relativistic space-time in Einstein’s theory.Thanh Giang Nguyen, however, realized while studying the theory of relativity that fundamental concepts in Newtonian mechanics can also be used to show E = mc2, as outlined in this book.Join the author on an incredible journey into a distinct world that is defined by absolute space and time when you go Beyond the World of Relativity to the World of Invariance.

  • General Relativity
    Trevor Underwood
    This volume provides annotated translations of the primary sources leading up to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, in which Einstein attempted to extend his theory of special relativity beyond space and time, to include matter and gravitational fields, by introducing gravity through his 'equivalence principle' - the equivalence of gravity and acceleration. This resulted ...
  • The Meaning of Relativity
    Albert Einstein
    In 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to join the Institute for Advanced Study, Albert Einstein visited Princeton University, where he delivered the Stafford Little Lectures for that year. These four lectures constituted an overview of his then-controversial theory of relativi...

    Essential mathematical insights into one of the most important and challenging open problems in general relativity-the stability of black holesOne of the major outstanding questions about black holes is whether they remain stable when subject to small perturbations. An affirmative answer to this question would provide strong theoretical support for the physical reality of black...

  • The Wave Basis of Special Relativity
    Robert Close
    This book offers a simple, intuitive explanation of special relativity. Rather than merely describing the implications of Einstein’s postulates, we derive the consequences of special relativity from the wavelike behavior of matter, which is consistent with ordinary physical processes in Galilean spacetime. Topics covered include time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transf...
