Lawson</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Digireads.com Publishing</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781420946338</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2017</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 78</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The present book is intended as far as possible to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who from a general scientific and philosophical point of view are interested in the theory but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The text is divided into three parts which deal respectively with the special theory of relativity with the general theory of relativity and with considerations on the universe as a whole. The special theory deals with the physics of elementary particles while the general theory is concerned with the force of gravity and its effect on the other forces of nature. These two theories while exceptional in their explanations of their particular focus are inconsistent with each other and it has long been an aim of the science of physics to help resolve these inconsistencies. Einstein proposed that rather than discarding these two principles for their contradictions the rules of time and space should be completely rethought in order to harmonize our understanding of the physical world. Einstein’s work in the field of theoretical physics would earn him the Nobel Prize in 1921 and establish his legacy as one of the most famous scientists of all time. This edition is translated by Robert W. Lawson and is printed on premium acid-free paper.</p> Digireads.com Publishing hardcover

There have been many versions published since the original in 1916 the latest in December 2011. The work has been labeledby whom unique in that it gives readers an insight into the thought processes of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 - 18 April 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass-energy equivalence formula which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.Near the beginning of his career Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led him to develop his special theory of relativity during his time at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern 1902-1909. He subsequently realized that the principle of relativity could be extended to gravitational fields and published a paper on general relativity in 1916 introducing his theory of gravitation. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light and the quantum theory of radiation the basis of laser which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917 he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.Einstein moved to Switzerland in 1895 and renounced his German citizenship in 1896. After being stateless for more than five years he acquired Swiss citizenship in 1901 which he kept for the rest of his life. Except for one year in Prague he lived in Switzerland between 1895 and 1914.</p> Binker North hardcover

Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work greatly influenced the philosophy of science and for producing the world's most famous equation 'E= mc2'. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his services to theoretical physics and for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. The papers to this work include Einstein's papers on Bose-Einstein condensation the phenomenon that causes bosons to become a superfluid at low temperatures. There is also Einstein's two part commentary on Kaluza's theory involving field equations in five-dimensional space. These papers are from the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences which was first established in 1700. In uniform full cloth bindings. With the original paper wraps bound in. Externally all volumes are very smart. Light fading to the spine. Light shelfwear to the joints. Small split to the front joint of 1929 volume. A few marks to the tail of spines with evidence of library label removal. Internally all volumes are firmly bound. Institutional stamp to the verso of original wraps bound in for the Bodleian Library with their cancellation stamps. Repair to the front wrap of 1928 wrap. Minor chips to the occasional extremity. Pages are slightly age toned to edges due to paper used. Otherwise pages are very clean. Very Good Indeed Akademie der Wissenchaften hardcover
