Furthermore, it is our belief that if a book has no new elements, but simply repeats what is written in the existing literature, perhaps with a different style, then this is not enough to justify its publication. However, after having spent a number of years, both in class and research with relativity, I have come to the conclusion that there exists a place for a new book. Since it appears that somewhere along the way, mathem- ics may have obscured and prevailed to the degree that we tend to teach relativity (and I believe, theoretical physics) simply using “heavier” mathematics without the inspiration and the mastery of the classic physicists of the last century. Moreover current trends encourage the application of techniques in producing quick results and not tedious conceptual approaches resulting in long-lasting reasoning. On the other hand, physics cannot be done a ´ la carte stripped from philosophy, or, to put it in a simple but dramatic context A buil | 出版日期 | Textbook 20101st edition | 关键词 | EFE; Four-acceleration; Four-force; Four-momentum; Four-vector; Lorentz transformation; Minkowski space; Re | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03837-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-03837-2 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 |
