This comprehensive textbook on relativity integrates Newtonian physics, special relativity and general relativity into a single book that emphasizes the deep underlying principles common to them all, yet explains how they are applied in different ways in these three contexts. Newton's ideas about how to represent space and time, his laws of dynamics, and his theory of gravitation established the conceptual foundation from which modern physics developed. Book I in this volume offers undergraduates a modern view of Newtonian theory, emphasizing those aspects needed for understanding quantum and relativistic contemporary physics. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed a novel representation of space and time, special relativity. Book II presents relativistic dynamics in inertial and accelerated frames, as well as a detailed overview of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. This provides undergraduate and graduate students with the background necessary for studying particle and accelerator physics, astrophysics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. In 1915, Einstein proposed a new theory of gravitation, general relativity. Book III in this volume develops the geometrical framework in which Einstein's equations are formulated, and presents several key applications: black holes, gravitational radiation, and cosmology, which will prepare graduate students to carry out research in relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave astronomy, and cosmology.

"Even in the most technical sections, the authors' writing is delightfully lucid, and they give many applications to classical and modern physics . . . Undergraduates, and those who require some understanding of special relativity for their work in other fields, will find this elegant work a pleasure to read." — Technology This concise account of special relativity is geared toward nonspecialists and belongs in the library of anyone interested in the subject and its applications to both classical and modern physics. The treatment takes a historical point of view, without making heavy demands on readers' mathematical abilities; in fact, the theory is developed without the use of tensor calculus, requiring only a working knowledge of three-dimensional vector analysis. Topics include detailed coverage of the Lorentz transformation, including optical and dynamical applications, and applications to modern physics. An excellent bibliography completes this compact, accessible presentation.

This book highlights foundational issues in theoretical physics in an informal, open style of lecture. It expresses the flow of ideas in physics — from the period of Galileo and Newton to the contemporary ideas of the quantum and relativity theories, astrophysics and cosmology — as explanations for the laws of matter. Rather than presenting the ideas of physics as a fait accompli, the book leaves it up to the reader to decide which of these 20th-century ideas in science will carry over to the 21st century for our further comprehension of the laws of nature in all domains, from that of elementary particles to cosmology. It is the contention of the author that our future progress in physics comprehension will only take place when the foundational controversies between the quantum and relativity theories are recognized and discussion is given to their resolution. The book, therefore, presents an attitude not normally taken in other present-day books on subjects in contemporary theoretical physics and cosmology. Contents:Philosophy of ScienceClassical Precursors for the Concepts of Modern PhysicsNineteenth Century Physics: Atomism and ContinuityEarly Anomalies and Elementary ParticlesFrom the Old Quantum Theory to Quantum MechanicsQuantum Mechanics: Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics and the Copenhagen SchoolConcepts of the Theory of RelativityFrom Special to General RelativityThe UniverseConflicts in the Foundations of the Quantum and Relativity Theories Readership: Academics, undergraduates, and graduates in physics and philosophy; interested general readers. Keywords:Quantum Theory;Relativity;Astrophysics;Cosmology;Philosophy of PhysicsKey Features:Differs from other books on theoretical physics in its concentration on contemporary ideas of physics, rather than on its mathematical expressionAddresses those lay readers of science who are interested in the ideas of modern physics at a foundational level, as well as students (both undergraduate and graduate) and professional scientists in physics and astrophysics, with the intention of inducing further dialogue on these subjectsReviews:“Sachs does a good job of explaining the problems and will certainly get you thinking.”Physics World “This is an interesting collection for two reasons. First, relativity and quantum mechanics are discussed … Second, and importantly, this is fundamentally a philosophical treatise … This thoughtful book would work very well as a supplement to an upper-division physics course or as the basis for a philosophy of science class.”Choice

Newton's Laws held for 300 years until Einstein developed the 'special theory of relativity' in 1905. Experiments done since then show anomalies in that theory. This book starts with a description of the special theory of relativity. It is shown that Einstein was not the first to derive the famous equation E = mc2, which has become synonymous with his name. Next, experimental evidence that cannot be explained by special relativity is given. In the light of this evidence, the two basic postulates of the special theory of relativity on the behaviour of light are shown to be untenable. A new theory (universal relativity) is developed, which conforms to the experimental evidence. The movement of a conductor near a pole of a magnet and the movement of that pole near the conductor does not always give the same result. It has been claimed that this contradicts relativity theory. Experiments described in this book show that it is not special relativity but another basic law of physics that is contradicted - Faraday's Law. The Big Bang theory of the beginning of the universe is questioned and an alternative proposed. The source of much of the mysterious missing 'dark matter' that has been sought for decades by astronomers is located. An explanation of the shapes of some galaxies is proffered. This book presents an alternative to Einstein's special theory of relativity, solves many problems left unanswered by special relativity, gives a better fit to many phenomena and experimental data and is more philosophically appealing. It is recommended to all people interested in fundamental issues of physics and cosmology. Professor Andre Assis, Brazil The book treats its subject properly, not just as an impersonal set of equations, but rather as a developing saga full of human triumph and failure. One learns from both experimental results and simple logical argument that all is not well with modern physics.

The English astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington must have jumped when, on May 29, 1919, intent on observing a total eclipse of the sun, he discovered that the man, who four years earlier had published the controversial theory of General Relativity, he was right.Albert Einstein, one of the most famous physicists in history, whose career as a great scientist began in 1905 when, by a half-known employee of the patent office in Bern, he published his first two articles on Restricted Relativity.It is without too many scientific claims that I am going to introduce the reader to the Theory of Relativity Restricted and General which is the theme of this work which however can not be fully grasped without the fundamental mathematical and physical skills that are learned in a high school.With an innovative approach compared to many other educational treatises on the subject, which often neglect the mathematical aspects necessary for a correct understanding of the phenomenon, I will try to deal with the issues, so as to understand mainly the concepts, through rigorous mathematical demonstrations or 'aid of graphs and diagrams.After a brief but indispensable historical and biographical introduction on Albert Einstein I paid particular attention to the thought of Relativity already present in Galileo's observations and I exposed the fundamental works of James Clerk Maxwell, Albert Abraham Michelson, Edward Morley, and Hendrik Antoon Lorentz to reach to the absolutely innovative idea postulated by the Theory of Special Relativity. Once immersed in the new theory, in the second chapter, I analyzed analytically the concepts on the dilation of the times and the contraction of the distances until the solution of the always fascinating paradoxes. Subsequently, the present work focuses on the mass-energy duality (E = mc2) and gravitational mass-inertial mass. There is no lack of "mental experiments" and the use of the Minkowsky diagram in order to better understand the effects of the theory. In the discussion on General Relativity, the themes of the four-dimensional space-time curvature will be addressed, the exposure of the famous Einstein Field Equations, the Gravitational Redshift, the Deflection of Light, the Precession of the Perielion of Mercury and the Gravitational Waves. In conclusion, we can not forget that Albert Einstein, besides being a famous physicist, is very active in various fields of culture becoming one of the most important thinkers of the last century for whom the most cited and curious aphorisms of the illustrious interlude between chapters and paragraphs.I thank all those who have been close to me during the writing of this paper and with the hope of having set up the work so that it can be useful to all those who approach the study of the fascinating Theory of Relativity I am grateful to now who will want to propose improvements or any suggestions.

This is the third edition of a well-received textbook on modern physics theory. This book provides an elementary but rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In addition, a number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of solved problems are provided.Apart from a substantial extension of the proposed problems, the new edition provides more detailed discussion on Lorentz transformations and their group properties, a deeper treatment of quantum mechanics in a central potential, and a closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical and in quantum physics. The first part of the book is devoted to special relativity, with a particular focus on space-time relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with Schrödinger's formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly one-dimensional problems, but some three-dimensional examples are discussed in detail. The third part addresses the application of Gibbs’ statistical methods to quantum systems and in particular to Bose and Fermi gases.
