Cover of Extra Dimensions in Space and Time
by Itzhak Bars, John Terning
Language: English
Release Date: December 17, 2009

In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein...

The Ultimate Key to the Cosmos

by Fred I Cooperstock, Steven Tieu
Language: English
Release Date: August 4, 2012

This richly illustrated book is unique in bringing Einstein's relativity to a higher level for the non-specialist than has ever been attempted before, using nothing more than grade-school algebra.

Cover of Interacting Dark Energy and the Expansion of the Universe
by Alexander S. Silbergleit, Arthur D. Chernin
Language: English
Release Date: April 22, 2017

This book presents a high-level study of cosmology with interacting dark energy and no additional fields. It is known that dark energy is not necessarily uniform when other sources of gravity are present: interaction with matter leads to its variation in space and time. The present text studies...

Basic Relativity

An Introductory Essay

by Péter Hraskó
Language: English
Release Date: March 22, 2011

This Brief presents a new way of introducing relativity theory, in which perplexing relativistic effects such as time dilation and Lorentz contraction are explained prior to the discussion of Lorentz-transformation. The notion of relativistic mass is shown to contradict the spirit of relativity theory...
