Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Broader View of Relativity shows that there is still new life in old physics. The book examines the historical context and theoretical underpinnings of Einstein''s theory of special relativity and describes Broad Relativity, a generalized theory of coordinate transformations between inertial reference frames that includes Einstein''s special relativity as a special case. It shows how the principle of relativity is compatible with multiple concepts of physical time and how these different procedures for clock synchronization can be useful for thinking about different physical problems, including many-body systems and the development of a Lorentz-invariant thermodynamics. Broad relativity also provides new answers to old questions such as the necessity of postulating the constancy of the speed of light and the viability of Reichenbach''s general concept of time. The book also draws on the idea of limiting-four-dimensional symmetry to describe coordinate transformations and the physics of particles and fields in non-inertial frames, particularly those with constant linear accelerations. This new edition expands the discussion on the role that human conventions and unit systems have played in the historical development of relativity theories and includes new results on the implications of broad relativity for clarifying the status of constants that are truly fundamental and inherent properties of our universe.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indeed, according to Straumann, the: "general conservation law of energy and momentum does not exist in general relativity". Twentieth century science moved backward in accepting again the magical creation of matter or energy from nothing, even if this is hidden in complicated mathematics. Contrary to what Einstein did, all the demonstrations in this book are compatible with the principle of mass-energy and momentum conservation. Using classical mechanics, we demonstrate that length contraction is a real physical phenomenon. We examine how this leads to the Lorentz equations. Then, we show how classical principles are sufficient to explain the advance of the perihelion of Mercury and derive Einstein's equation. The fundamental reason for this advance is illustrated with a classical apparatus. We also study the Lorentz transformations in three dimensions and the Doppler phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Physics - Theoretical Physics, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: The essay presents an intuitive approach to the basics of special relativity, leading to a mathematical understanding of Lorentz transformations, relativistic dynamics and mass-energy equivalence. Until the end of the nineteenth century, the simple Galilean principle of relativity was used to relate physical observations in one frame of reference to another moving relative to it. When the phenomena of electromagnetism and light where unified in Maxwell’s equations, this principle was first called into question as it stood in conflict with the idea of absolute time and motion. The most famous experiment that attempted to determine the absolute motion of the earth, the Michelson-Morley experiment, will be discussed here. Subsequently, the ideas and postulates contained in Einstein’s first paper on relativity will be introduced and hence the kinematic transformations based on the principles will be derived and their implications on the relativity of space and time as well as on Newtonian mechanics will be stated.

This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Theory of Relativity: Based on a short course of lectures delivered in the late 1930s, this short book presents the theory of Special Relativity by formulating a redefinition of the measurement of length, and thus will appeal to students of physics who wish to think through Einstein’s thought without the encumbrance of quasi-scientific concepts and language. Relativity: A Very Elementary Exposition: This brief lecture, delivered in October 1921 and published for the first time in 1925, offers an explanation of Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity for the non-scientist, giving a general overview that does justice both to the actual physics involved, and the wider implications of this revolutionary discovery of the 20th century.
