关于此电子书
Space Time Mechanics explores the revolutionary concepts of relativity and spacetime, challenging our intuitive understanding of the cosmos. It reveals how space and time are intertwined, influenced by gravity and motion, and fundamentally linked to the distribution of matter and energy. The book provides tools for quantitative analysis, going beyond popular science accounts, and illustrates how understanding spacetime is crucial for astrophysics, cosmology, and technologies like satellite navigation. For example, relativistic corrections are essential for accurate GPS positioning.
The book revisits the historical context of Einstein's theories, examining the limitations of Newtonian mechanics and pivotal experiments. It then presents special relativity, the mathematics of spacetime (including tensor calculus and Riemannian geometry), and general relativity, covering black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmological models. Evidence is drawn from theoretical derivations, experimental results (like the bending of starlight), and astrophysical data. It offers a blend of conceptual explanations and mathematical rigor, making it valuable for students, researchers, and scientifically inclined readers.
