Space And Time In Contemporary Physics: An Introduction To The Theory Of Relativity And Gravitation (1920)

""Space and Time in Contemporary Physics: An Introduction to the Theory of Relativity and Gravitation"" is a book written by Moritz Schlick in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of relativity and gravitation, two fundamental concepts in contemporary physics. The book is divided into three parts. The first part explains the basic concepts of space and time, and how they are related to physical phenomena. The second part introduces the theory of relativity, which explains how space and time are interconnected and how they are affected by gravity. The third part delves deeper into the theory of gravitation, exploring the nature of gravitational fields and their effects on the behavior of matter.Schlick's book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of physics. It is an important work in the history of physics, as it helped to popularize the theory of relativity and gravitation, which have since become cornerstones of modern physics. Overall, ""Space and Time in Contemporary Physics"" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental principles of physics and their applications in the real world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
