Catálogo de libros Física De La Relatividad

N. David Mermin

A readable and entertaining look at how Einstein’s special theory of relativity gives us a new understanding of the nature of timeRelativity ought to be an important part of everyone’s education. Its subject is time, with which we all think we are familiar. Einstein’s special theory of relativity reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong. T...

ADVENT OF RELATIVITY, THE

VOLDEMAR SMILGA

This popular book on special relativity was first published in Moscow back in 1961 under the Russian title 'Очевидное? Нет, ещё неизведанное', which can be roughly translated as 'Is it evident? No, it’s unexplored yet!'This clear exposition of the history of the development of physical ideas which eventually led to the discovery of special relativity is a narration of how physi...

ADIABATIC THERMODYNAMICS OF FLUIDS

CHRISTIAN FRONSDAL

Unlike the traditional approach to thermodynamics, this book begins with a brief exposition of hydrodynamics. At this stage, the development is limited to potential flows, because, until recently, that is all that could be done, but also for didactic reasons. However, the reader will find that the situation has changed radically with the discovery of Conservative Hydrodynamics....

Derivation of Newton’s Law of Gravitation

Balungi Francis

In Newton’s view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it’s still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But unfortunately it cannot be derived from first principles.While Newton was able to formulate his law o...

The Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Physics

Balungi Francis

Since it was developed, Newton’s law of gravitation and many other laws of physics cannot be derived from one grand underlying principle. Deriving Newton’s law of gravitation or Einstein general relativity theory, would mean that gravity emerges from something else and that would mean that the only known Newton’s law of universal gravity is no longer a fundamental law of physic...

TOPICS ON STRONG GRAVITY

CESAR AUGUSTO ZEN VASCONCELLOS

For more than a century, our understanding of gravitational physics was based on Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which fundamentally changed our understanding of the Universe, its origin, and its evolutionary process. General Relativity accurately describes a large number of phenomena on very different scales. As such, it has been very well tested and its re...

EVENTFULX JOURNEY TO UNIFICATION OF ALL FUNDAMENTAL FORCES

ROBERT DELBOURGO

During the last years of his life Einstein tried unsuccessfully to unify electromagnetic force with gravitational force geometrically. The nearest he got was through the ideas of Kaluza and Klein who appended a tiny fifth commuting coordinate to spacetime. Researchers have followed in those footsteps by adding at least six more such minuscule coordinates so as to incorporate th...
