relativity (physics)

"British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington photographed the 1919 solar eclipse to prove Einstein's theory of general relativity by demonstrating that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light"--Provided by publisher.

"The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality"--Provided by publisher.

"Albert Einstein rewrote the rules of physics and changed how scientists see space and time forever. Learn how a boy who had trouble in school became one of history's most renowned scientists"--Provided by publisher.

"In September of 2015, the scientific world was buzzing: gravitational waves had been detected. It was a dramatic and conclusive demonstration of Einstein's theory of general relativity--the most complex and far-reaching theory in the history of physics. Through detailed diagrams, . . . analogies, and . . . sidebars, this text cuts through the complexity and sophistication, providing an . . . introduction to the physics of waves, the implications of general relativity, and the ways in which gravitational waves can bring new understanding of the universe around us"--Provided by publisher.

"[Discusses] the birth of a world-changing idea, relativity, and how it was shaped by the social upheaval and bloody horror of the First World War"--OCLC.

Simple text and illustrations introduce young readers to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

"An examination of the science behind the abstract and physical concepts of space and time, including relevant theories and history-making discoveries as well as topics of current and future research"--Provided by publisher.

With accessible language and breathtaking NASA images, students will explore the theory of gravity, from Newton's law of universal gravitation to Einstein's general relativity and beyond.

Through an engaging, easily accessible approach, the origins, dynamics, and ultimate fate of black holes are thoroughly unraveled.

"A theoretical physicist and jazz musician combines his two loves to present a new theory of the universe: sound as the link between Einstein's relativity with quantum mechanics"--Amazon.com.
