Excerpt from Space-Time-Matter
Einstein's Theory of Relativity has advanced our ideas of the structure of the cosmos a step further. It is as if a wall which separated us from Truth has collapsed. Wider expanses and greater depths are now exposed to the searching eye of knowledge, regions of which we had not even a presentiment. It has brought us much nearer to grasping the plan that underlies all physical happening.
(Although very recently a whole series of more or less popular introductions into the general theory of relativity has appeared, nevertheless a systematic presentation was lacking. I therefore considered it appropriate to publish the following lectures which I gave in the Summer Term of 1917 at the Eidgen. Technische Hochschule in Zürich. At the same time it was my wish to present this great subject as an illustration of the intermingling of philosophical, mathematical, and physical thought, a study which is dear to my heart. This could be done only by building up the theory systematically from the foundations, and by restricting attention throughout to the principles. But I have not been able to satisfy these self-imposed requirements: the mathematician predominates at the expense of the philosopher.)
The theoretical equipment demanded of the reader at the outset is a minimum. Not only is the special theory of relativity dealt with exhaustively, but even Maxwell's theory and analytical geometry are developed in their main essentials. This was a part of the whole scheme.

impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound mysteries of space, time, and matter, exploring how these fundamental concepts have been reshaped by scientific advancements. The author traces the evolution of our understanding of these ideas, from the classical Greek perspective to the revolutionary insights of modern physics. Through a rigorous examination of geometry, the author challenges traditional Euclidean notions and introduces the concept of a "metrical continuum," a more expansive view of space. The book then explores the intricate relationship between space and time, demonstrating how they are interwoven in the fabric of the universe. Drawing on the principles of mechanics and physics, the author sheds light on the nature of motion, gravity, and electromagnetism. The book culminates in a discussion of Einstein's general theory of relativity, offering a new understanding of gravitation and its connection to the cosmos as a whole. Ultimately, this book invites readers to contemplate the interconnectedness of the world and the profound implications of modern physics for our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
