Space, Time And Gravitation: An Outline Of The General Relativity Theory (1920) - Hardcover

by Arthur S. Eddington (Author)

""Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory"" is a scientific book written by Arthur S. Eddington and first published in 1920. The book provides an introduction to the concepts and principles of the general theory of relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein. The book is divided into four parts, each covering different aspects of the theory. The first part introduces the basic concepts of space and time, and how they are related to the theory of relativity. The second part discusses the theory of gravitation, including the concept of curvature of space-time, and how it affects the motion of objects. The third part of the book covers the experimental evidence for the theory of relativity, including the famous Eddington experiment that confirmed Einstein's theory. The final part of the book explores the implications of the theory, including its impact on our understanding of the universe and the nature of space and time. Overall, ""Space, Time and Gravitation"" is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory of relativity, written by one of the leading scientists of the time. It remains an important work in the history of physics and continues to be studied and cited by scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
