Oct 1, 2007 - Curvature of space: Since general relativity introduced 'spacetime' into the vocabulary of the physics of cosmology, the idea of curvature of space naturally came along with the idea of spacetime. For example, people on Star Trek are always talking about the space-time continuum, worm holes, time dilations and all sorts of other things that are based on the principle of relativity in one way… An Overview of the New Physics by Gary Zukav. Nov 27, 2013 - Classical mathematical physics; Classical mechanics; Mathematical introduction to quantum mechanics; Geometry and symmetries in classical and QM, quantization (but no QFT); Lorentzian geometry and general relativity; Integrable systems and solitons; Modern mathematical approaches to QFT Despite its title the next monograph does not just present the Kerr spacetime, it illustrates many core features of GR with the Kerr spacetime as the prominent example:. Feb 12, 2013 - Spacetime Physics: Introduction to Special Relativity. I found that Spacetime Physics was a great undergrad-level introduction to Special Relativity. I don't claim its the best way to explain special relativity – I just found it interesting, as it tries to take the just hypothetical nature of 4D spacetime as far as possible while giving results in line with experiments. That "relativity" is a fairly common part of the genre. Sep 3, 2013 - Ask some theoretical physicist what special relativity is and they'll say something like “It's the dynamics in Minkowski space” or “It's the special case of general relativity in flat space”. Apr 7, 2010 - IN an enlightening paper that appeared recently on the physics archive, physicists Carlo Rovelli and Eugenio Bianchi take on our prejudice against the so-called cosmological constant (aka dark energy), arguing that the popular notions about it are actually The equations of general relativity have a term in them (denoted by the Greek letter lambda) for the energy of spacetime. Taylor, and John Archibald Wheeler. Because they are simple enough to analyze and admit arbitrary general relativity that cannot be provided by homogeneous cosmological models. This review is intended as a basic conceptual introduction to these spacetimes. In fact But more importantly, Einstein did not introduce lambda specifically for predicting a static universe. Gowdy Spacetimes have become useful test cases for studying the dynamics of Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Feb 26, 2014 - I am just reading the volume titled Waves in my favorite series of ancient textbooks on Theoretical Physics by German physics professor Wilhelm Macke. Another excellent book that provides a more detailed analysis is Spacetime Physics : Introduction to Special Relativity by Edwin F. I tried to resist the urge to There are different ways to introduce special relativity. Admittedly, it does involve a fair amount of algebra (and some matrices), but honestly, I think it is among the best things you'll find.
