Sobre IBD

Following up on his two previous works, The Principles of Natural Knowledge and The Concept of Nature, Whitehead explains his alternative theory of relativity, which 'cuts away the casual heterogeneity' of Einstein’s later theory. Dividing his book into three parts--General Principles, Physical Applications, and Elementary Theory of Tensors--the author’s arguments and observations utilize his own unique mix of nature, philosophy, and 'the old division between physics and geometry.' This work, first published in 1922, is essential reading for students, teachers, scientists, or anyone interested in the relationship of physics to philosophy.English mathematician and philosopher ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD (1861-1947) contributed significantly to 20th-century logic and metaphysics. With Bertrand Russell he cowrote the landmark Principia Mathematica, and also authored The Concept of Nature, The Function of Reason, and Process and Reality.

  • 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 ...

    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...

  • 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...
