Roughly equal coverage is given tospecial relativity, general relativity, and cosmology. With many judicious omissions it can be taught in one semester, but it would better serve as the basis of a year‘s work. It is my hope, anyway, that its level and style of presentation may appeal also to wider c1asses of readers unrestricted by credit considerations. General relativity, the modern theory of gravitation in which free particles move along "straightest possible" lines in curved spacetime, and cosmology, with its dynamics for the whole possibly curved uni verse, not only seem necessary for a scientist‘s balanced view of the world, but offer some of the greatest intellectual thrills of modern physics. Nevertheless, considered luxuries, they are usu ally squeezed out of the graduate curriculum by the pressure of specialization. Special relativity escapes this tag with a ven geance, and tends to be taught as a pure service discipline, with too little emphasis on i | 出版日期 | Book 19691st edition | 关键词 | Gravity; Special relativity; cosmology; general relativity; relativity; theory of relativity | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-1135-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-1135-6 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1969 |
