Relativity and Geometry Foundations and Philosophy of Science and Technology Series By: Roberto Torretti Publisher: Pergamon Print ISBN: 9780080267739, 0080267734 eText ISBN: 9781483147376, 1483147371 Copyright year: 1983 Format: PDF Available from $ 72.95 USD SKU: 9781483147376 Relativity and Geometry aims to elucidate the motivation and significance of the changes in physical geometry brought about by Einstein, in both the first and the second phases of relativity. The book contains seven chapters and a mathematical appendix. The first two chapters review a historical background of relativity. Chapter 3 centers on Einstein's first Relativity paper of 1905. Subsequent chapter presents the Minkowskian formulation of special relativity. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with Einstein's search for general relativity from 1907 to 1915, as well as some aspects and subsequent developments of the theory. The last chapter explores the concept of simultaneity, geometric conventionalism, and a few other questions concerning space time structure, causality, and time.
