Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Many books devoted to this new problem of relativity have been composed with the sincere intention of avoiding technicalities; but always, after some three or four chapters, the author wanders away to the familiar mysteries, leaving his profane companions to wait outside the temple. When a mathematician declares that he is going to write for the general public, he means, apparently, that his pages will not wholly be covered with equations, and that good, sound, dictionary words will be freely employed. He forgets how deeply his own mind is saturated with assumptions to which the layman has no kind of clue. This little foible, to be sure, is not peculiar to mathematicians. Most of us who chance to have mastered a technical language are slow to unlearn it again for the benefit of others. We chafe at their innocent questions, and too hastily acquit them of brains.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a critical look at Einstein's Theory of Relativity from a novel perspective. The author, meticulously analyzing the Michelson-Morley experiment and other foundational examples, questions the notion of constant light velocity in various mediums. Einstein had concluded this constant velocity is a fundamental principle that led to an upheaval in understanding space, time, and motion. However, the author elucidates how this constant velocity, along with the associated concept of the addition of velocities, is not universally applicable. The book questions how this constant velocity can coexist with the independent and variable velocities of other entities like swimmers or passengers. Instead of adopting the theory of relativity, the author posits that all velocities are constant and explores the implications of this view. The author argues that a special position is assigned to the velocity of light in physics for reasons beyond its numerical value and proposes an alternative explanation for the specific value of this constant. This book provides a fresh perspective on Einstein's Theory of Relativity, challenging its core principles and offering new insights that invite critical thinking about the fundamental nature of velocity, space, and time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333514204_0
