Relativity

Author: (USA) Albert Einstein, translated by Yi Hongbo, Li Zhimou
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2006-12-29
Features: This is a groundbreaking book that completely overturns the concepts of classical physics. It denies Newton's absolute space and time, proposing that space is not a flat Euclidean space but a curved Riemann space in a gravitational field; time is also not a separate dimension independent of space, but is always present within space, forming a unified four-dimensional spacetime continuum. This is a book that reveals the new order of the universe not through the eyes but through wisdom. It discloses the extraordinary secrets of the universe: the relativity of simultaneity; the time dilation and length contraction effects in motion; the perihelion precession of Mercury; the redshift of the spectrum; the slowing of clocks in a gravitational field—and this is Einstein's "Theory of Relativity"! It completely overturns classical physics, opening up a brand new world of physics for humanity. This is not only one of the few revolutionary leaps in the history of science but also the beginning of a mythological era!
