Focusing on conceptual clarity, he derives all the basic results in the simplest way, taking care to explain the physical, philosophical and mathematical ideas at the heart of “the most beautiful of all scientific theories”. Some of the main applications of General Relativity are also explored, for example, black holes, gravitational waves and cosmology, and the book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum gravity. Written by an author well known for the clarity of his presentation of scientific ideas, this concise book will appeal to university students looking to improve their understanding of the principal concepts, as well as science-literate readers who are curious about the real theory of General Relativity, at a level beyond a popular science treatment.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 11mmItem Weight: 280gAuthor: Carlo RovelliGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
