It includes examples of work conducted in the ten years since the first edition of the book was published, for example the pedagogically helpful concept of a "river of space" and a more detailed discussion of how far the principle of relativity is contained in the general theory of relativity. Also presented is a discussion of the concept of the ‘gravitational field‘ in Einstein‘s theory, and some new material concerning the ‘twin paradox‘ in the theory of relativity...Finally, the book contains a new section about gravitational waves, exploring the dramatic progress in this field following the LIGO observations..Based on a long-established masters course, the book serves advanced undergraduate and graduate leve | 出版日期 | Textbook 2020Latest edition | 关键词 | Lorentz contraction and transformation; Coordinate Systems and Minkowski diagrams; Accelerating and ro | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-43862-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-43861-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-43862-3Series ISSN 2510-411X Series E-ISSN 2510-4128 | issn_series | 2510-411X | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
