    Rewriting the rules of physics

    by Steven B Bryant ...
    Once in a lifetime we might witness a scientific event so rare and revolutionary that it changes our lives forever. Imagine awakening on the day in history when we learned that the Earth is round, not flat; or awakening on the day we learned that the planets orbit the Sun, not the Earth. Now, imagine awakening tomorrow to learn that Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong!Demonstrating that ... Read more

  • An Entertaining Simulation of The Special Theory of Relativity using methods of Classical Physics

    by Vadim N. Matveev; Oleg V. Matvejev ...
    The principles of the special theory of relativity are extremely simple. Knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem and an ability to perform the simplest algebraic operations are sufficient to be conversant with the kinematics of the special theory of relativity, as well as the time dilation and contraction of the longitudinal dimensions of moving bodies that are associated with relative motion. ...

  • Special Relativity: A First Encounter

    100 years since Einstein

    by Domenico Giulini ...
    Special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world, and its place in the universe, would be unthinkable. This book gives a concise, elementary, yet exceptionally modern, introduction to special relativity. It is a gentle yet serious 'first encounter', in that it conveys a true understanding rather than purely reports the basic ... Read more

  • Variational Approach to Gravity Field Theories

    From Newton to Einstein and Beyond

    by Alberto Vecchiato ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts of differential geometry and derive the field and geodesic equations from purely geometrical properties. Demonstration of the physical meaning then requires the ... Read more

  • Experimental Mechanics of Solids

    by Cesar A. Sciammarella, Federico M. Sciammarella ...
    Experimental solid mechanics is the study of materials to determine their physical properties. This study might include performing a stress analysis or measuring the extent of displacement, shape, strain and stress which a material suffers under controlled conditions. In the last few years there have been remarkable developments in experimental techniques that measure shape, displacement and ... Read more

  • Water Waves and Ship Hydrodynamics

    An Introduction

    by A.J. Hermans ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    In this book an introduction is given to aspects of water waves that play a role in ship hydrodynamics and offshore engineering. At first the equations and linearized boundary conditions are derived describing the non-viscous free surface water waves, with special attention to the combination of steady and non-steady flow fields. Then some simple kinds of free wave solutions are derived, such as ... Read more

  • Gravitational Lensing

    by Scott Dodelson ...
    Gravitational lensing is a consequence of general relativity, where the gravitational force due to a massive object bends the paths of light originating from distant objects lying behind it. Using very little general relativity and no higher level mathematics, this text presents the basics of gravitational lensing, focusing on the equations needed to understand the phenomena. It then applies them ... Read more
