Relativity theory has become one of the icons of Twentieth Century science. It’s reckoned to be a difficult subject, taught as a layered series of increasingly difficult mathematics and increasingly abstract concepts. We’re told that relativity theory is supposed to be this complicated and counter-intuitive. But how much of this historical complexity is really necessary? Can we bypass the interpretations and paradoxes and pseudoparadoxes of Einstein’s special theory and jump directly to a deeper and more intuitive description of reality? What if curvature is a fundamental

Thoroughly revised and updated, this self-contained textbook provides a pedagogical introduction to relativity. It covers the most important features of special as well as general relativity, and considers more difficult topics, such as charged pole-dipole particles, Petrov classification, groups of motions, gravitational lenses, exact solutions and the structure of infinity. The necessary mathematical tools are provided, most derivations are complete, and exercises are included where appropriate. The bibliography lists the original papers and also directs the reader to useful monographs and r

This volume is the refereed proceedings of the Sixth Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics held in May 1995 at the University of New Brunswick. The book includes invited talks and contributed talks and posters including state-of-the-art reviews of many of the most recent important developments in gravitational physics. This book would serve as a good supplement to standard texts on the topic. Features: Review articles in key areas: black holes, numerical relativity, etc. Contributions covering most of gravitational physics. Useful art

G. 4 NEW YORK, TORONTO BOMBAY, CALCUTTA AND MADRAS 1923 PREFACE. WITHIN the past twenty years a revolution has taken place in the mental attitude which the physicist main tains towards the concepts which have been invented in the past in order to reach those broad generalisations which are the proud possession of his science. The demand on the part of the layman to know just what this revolution portends ha
