Four Lectures on Relativity and Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417925308)

""Four Lectures on Relativity and Space"" is a book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz that delves into the principles of relativity and space. The book is divided into four lectures, each of which focuses on a different aspect of these concepts. The first lecture introduces the concept of relativity and explains how it applies to the physical world. The second lecture discusses the nature of space and how it is affected by the presence of matter. The third lecture explores the concept of time and how it is related to space and relativity. The final lecture delves into the practical applications of these concepts, including their use in modern physics and technology. Throughout the book, Steinmetz uses clear and concise language to explain complex scientific ideas, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of physics. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about relativity and space, and it is sure to be a valuable addition to any science library.1923. In this excellent exposition, Charles Steinmetz, one of America's great electrical geniuses, successfully translated the complex mathematical reasoning at the heart of the theory into language that even the layman can follow. Using analogies, examples, and comparisons as substitutes for intricate formulas and experiments, he has produced a carefully written, scientifically accurate statement of the Einstein's theory of relativity and its fascinating conclusions and deductions which involves only elementary mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
