Relativity: an introduction to spacetime physics Steve Adams
Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Oct 14, 2012 - All of Einstein's special relativity theory is based on these three extremely simple principles of physics: Invariance of light speed, relativity principle and isotropy and homogeneity of space and time. You must log in to comment this article. Best book on exercises of Special Relativity in Science & Math Textbook Listings is being discussed at Physics Forums. 5 days ago - University of Cambridge physicist Luke Butcher has uploaded a paper to the arXiv preprint server suggesting that there might exist some type of wormhole that is capable of staying open long enough for a photon to pass through—which of scientists), but it was the precursor of the concept of the Lorentz contraction introduced by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz and what later was the most important formula in Special Theory Of Relativity published by Albert Einstein in 1905. (I am planning to use this gem in my Modern Physics class in the spring as a homework The earlier you introduce the idea of an event P as a point P=(x,y,z,ct) in space-time, the better. Just the mere phrase rattles the minds of today's physicists. State Einstein's postulate about the speed of light. Rindler - "Introduction to Special Relativity" This one is slightly more advanced, although it begins from basics. May 2, 2014 - Quantum mechanics can explain the behavior of all the known particles, while general relativity describes the nature of spacetime and gravity. The way Levy-Leblond presents this would be my preferred way to introduce a student to the subject. These are simple laws of symmetries! Until the twentieth century physicists However, in 1908 Hermann Minkowski discovered that Einstein's theory of Special Relativity was actually due to the existence of four dimensional spacetime and could be analysed using projective geometry (See Silagadze 2007). Sep 21, 2011 - Special relativity. I found the exercises to be more challenging P: 886. Feb 13, 2009 - There is an interesting guide to perspective in art at: Scribd: Projective Geometry and a good introduction to simple projective geometry at: Projective geometry by Tom Davis. From that, he constructed one of mankind's .. Nov 16, 2012 - Most of the time, their arguments aren't even worth refutation, since it's obvious in most cases that they haven't mastered even the simplest algebra, much less sophomore-level physics. Resnick - "Introduction to Special Relativity" French - "Special Relativity" Both of these are solid introductory level texts and have a lot of exercises. Oct 11, 2010 - Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity is a textbook addressed to students in physics and other people interested in Relativity and a history of physics.
