This book is about spacetime, and how, in General Relativity, it performs its widely accepted role of explaining all the phenomena of gravity. Space and time have long been contentious presences in theories of mechanics because of their metaphysical peculiarities. Philosophical worries continue to fog a clear understanding of just how spacetime performs this role. In early sections of his revolutionary paper of 1916, Einstein claimed that his use of a new style of formulation removes "the last remnant of physical objectivity from space and time". His satisfaction in banishing these metaphysical anxieties was evident. However in 1917 it was shown his claim was ungrounded. He readily accepted the criticism: it left intact all the maths and physics of the theory. These amply justify the widespread, orthodox view of spacetime's fundamental role in the theory. Einstein banished no demon but rather released a genie - spacetime. However, his hostility continued, resulting in attempts to rewrite the role of spacetime. These had some later influence but never caught on. Einstein set supreme importance on the role of imagination in scientific theory and valued it as his most significant gift. In science, perhaps in culture generally, relativity is unsurpassed in its imaginative conceptual daring. Yet he and others paused at its metaphysical novelty and radicalism: hostility to spacetime persists. This book presents an unqualified philosophical defence of the conceptual coherence and uniqueness of spatiotemporality. It offers an alternative to the relationist/substantivalist dilemma; it explains Minkowski's derivation of spacetime without the light postulate; it defends, clarifies and stresses the deep role of spacetime in the standard novelties of both relativity theories. A study of spacetime in relativity shows how an insubstantial entity can nevertheless be concrete. That solves the metaphysical worry over its intelligibility and reveals it as fundamental to ontology.

David Bodanis (o.a. auteur van de bestsellers ‘E=mc2’, ‘Het elektrisch universum’ en ‘Emilie & Voltaire’) beschrijft in ‘Einsteins grootste fout — Het leven van een feilbaar genie’ hoe het succes van Einsteins grootste prestatie leidde tot zijn grootste mislukking. Berlijn, 1915. In hartje oorlogstijd ontwikkelt Albert Einstein een magnifieke zwaartekrachttheorie, waarin hij beweert dat het universum uitzet. Collega-astronomen overtuigen Einstein zijn theorie aan te passen, hoewel een paar jaar later blijkt dat hij al die tijd gelijk heeft gehad. Vanaf dat moment ontwikkelt hij een koppig wantrouwen tegenover zijn collega’s. Het zou zijn grootste misrekening zijn: terwijl zijn ster in societykringen stijgt, beginnen collega-wetenschappers hem steeds minder serieus te nemen. ‘Einsteins grootste fout’ is een zeer toegankelijke intellectuele biografie en — verteld aan de hand van Einsteins meeslepende persoonlijke verhaal —een fantastische wetenschappelijke uiteenzetting van de onderliggende structuur van het heelal.

Warum ist Einstein so populär, obwohl wir seine Theorien nur schwer verstehen? E.P. Fischer nähert sich dem Genie auf ganz neue Weise: über Einsteins Sprache und die Bedeutung von Ästhetik und Sinnlichkeit bei der Entwicklung seiner Theorien. Der gesunde Menschenverstand reicht nicht aus, um Einsteins Ideen zu begreifen. Das Buch zeigt, wie dies dennoch und ganz ohne Mathematik möglich ist.

Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped to lead us into the atomic age. Yet in the final decades of his life he was also ignored by most working scientists, his ideas opposed by even his closest friends. This stunning downfall can be traced to Einstein's earliest successes and to personal qualities that were at first his best assets. Einstein's imagination and self-confidence served him well as he sought to reveal the universe's structure, but when it came to newer revelations in the field of quantum mechanics, these same traits undermined his quest for the ultimate truth. David Bodanis traces the arc of Einstein's intellectual development across his professional and personal life, showing how Einstein's confidence in his own powers of intuition proved to be both his greatest strength and his ultimate undoing. He was a fallible genius. An intimate and enlightening biography of the celebrated physicist, Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals how much we owe Einstein today - and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.

Albert Einstein, der größte Physiker seit Newton, wurde 1879 in Ulm geboren. Im Jahre 1929 schrieb er der "Ulmer Abendpost" auf eine Anfrage: "Die Stadt der Geburt hängt dem Leben als etwas ebenso Einzigartiges an wie die Herkunft von der leiblichen Mutter. Auch der Geburtsstadt verdanken wir einen Teil unseres Wesens. So gedenke ich Ulms in Dankbarkeit, da es edle künstlerische Tradition mit schlichter und gesunder Wesensart verbindet." Das Jubiläum des 125. Geburtstags wurde in Ulm mit zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen und festlichen Veranstaltungen gefeiert. Dieses faszinierende Buch enthält die öffentlichen Vorträge, die im Einstein-Jahr 2004 im Stadthaus Ulm von der Universität Ulm im Rahmen des studium generale und der "Einstein-Vorlesungen" durchgeführt wurden. Physiker, Wissenschaftshistoriker und Einstein-Forscher schildern auf allgemeinverständliche Weise Leben und Werk des Genies Albert Einstein. Der Nobelpreisträger von 1921 ist nicht nur der Schöpfer der Speziellen und Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie, sondern hat auch mit seinen bahnbrechenden Arbeiten über das Licht, die Atome und Quanten unser modernes Weltbild revolutioniert.

Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differed—in their worldview, in their work, and in their day—this book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einstein’s and Oppenheimer’s philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world. Einstein is invariably seen as a lone and singular genius, while Oppenheimer is generally viewed in a particular scientific, political, and historical context. Silvan Schweber considers the circumstances behind this perception, in Einstein’s coherent and consistent self-image, and its relation to his singular vision of the world, and in Oppenheimer’s contrasting lack of certainty and related non-belief in a unitary, ultimate theory. Of greater importance, perhaps, is the role that timing and chance seem to have played in the two scientists’ contrasting characters and accomplishments—with Einstein’s having the advantage of maturing at a propitious time for theoretical physics, when the Newtonian framework was showing weaknesses. Bringing to light little-examined aspects of these lives, Schweber expands our understanding of two great figures of twentieth-century physics—but also our sense of what such greatness means, in personal, scientific, and cultural terms.

A thrilling adventure story chronicling the perilous journey of the scientists who set out to prove the theory of relativity--the results of which catapulted Albert Einstein to fame and forever changed our understanding of the universe. In 1911, a relatively unknown physicist named Albert Einstein published his preliminary theory of gravity. But it hadn't been tested. To do that, he needed a photograph of starlight as it passed the sun during a total solar eclipse. So began a nearly decade-long quest by seven determined astronomers from observatories in four countries, who traveled the world during five eclipses to capture the elusive sight. Over the years, they faced thunderstorms, the ravages of a world war, lost equipment, and local superstitions. Finally, in May of 1919, British expeditions to northern Brazil and the island of Príncipe managed to photograph the stars, confirming Einstein's theory. At its heart, this is a story of frustration, faith, and ultimate victory--and of the scientists whose efforts helped build the framework for the big bang theory, catapulted Einstein to international fame, and shook the foundation of physics.

How did this peace-loving man become the father of the atomic bomb? Find out inside! By any measure, Albert Einstein changed the ways we understand—and measure—space and time. At first his ideas were ridiculed, but soon they were idolized. Prior to World War II, Einstein was a celebrated figure in Germany, but when the Nazi Party rose to power in the 1930s, he fled for his life and eventually settled in the United States. This proved to be a crucial decision, as his knowledge of physics helped the United States develop the atomic bomb and win the war. Albert Einstein: Genius of Space and Time! recounts the life of the world’s most famous scientist—from his youth in Germany to his final years in the United States. Readers of all ages will be entertained and educated by the full-color illustrations and historically accurate narrative of this graphical biography.
