  • Gravity

    Newtonian, Post-Newtonian, Relativistic

    de Eric Poisson, Clifford M. Will ...
    This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences. It offers a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems. Beginning with a uniquely thorough treatment of Newtonian gravity, the book develops post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximation methods to obtain weak-field solutions to ... Leer más

  • Where the Universe Came From

    How Einstein's relativity unlocks the past, present and future of the cosmos

    de New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    How did it all begin? Where is it all going?A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe. His theory changed the way we think about space and time, revealed how our universe has been expanding from a hot dense state called the big bang and predicted black holes.WHERE THE ... Leer más

  • The Infinite Cosmos

    Questions from the frontiers of cosmology

    de Joseph Silk ...
    From time immemorial, poets and philosophers have looked in awe and wonder at the Universe. Such awe is shared by astrophysicists, too, as they seek to understand its nature, and whether it has any limits. In The Infinite Cosmos, Joseph Silk, Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University, cosmologist and well-known science writer, brings together the modern understanding of the Universe, ...

    de David H. Lyth ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book gives an accessible account of the history of the Universe; not only what happened, but why it happened. An author of textbooks on the early Universe and inflation, David Lyth now explains both cosmology and the underlying physics to the general reader. The book includes a detailed account of the almost imperceptible structure in the early Universe, and its probable origin as a quantum ... Leer más

  • The Little Book of Black Holes

    de Frans Pretorius, Steven S. Gubser ...
    Series series Science Essentials
    Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holesBlack holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality—a ... Leer más

  • The Cosmic Microwave Background

    How It Changed Our Understanding of the Universe

    de Rhodri Evans ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Rhodri Evans tells the story of what we know about the universe, from Jacobus Kapteyn’s Island universe at the turn of the 20th Century, and the discovery by Hubble that the nebulae were external to our own galaxy, through Gamow’s early work on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and its subsequent discovery by Penzias and Wilson, to modern day satellite-lead CMB research. Research results from ... Leer más

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    de Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Leer más
