Theory of Relativity, Elements and Criticism by José Tiberius Pdf

The Theory of Relativity is one of the most complex in the history of science. Together with Darwin’s theory, it is also one of the most controversial, despite the number of experiments that have supposedly confirmed it. Some aspects are conventionally consistent; for example, as it is currently defined, time is relative. However, it does not make much sense the official definition of the unit of time is sensitive to the gravitational field or speed; since it would have been logical to establish it, including these two specific conditions, as it does with temperature and others. This book analyzes the basic concepts: • Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz transformations –3D Pitagoras theorem, the principles of Poincaré, and interpretations of the Michelson-Morley experiment as immediate antecedents of relativistic physics. • Ad hoc postulates of Einstein's relativity, or better said axioms! • The unusual terminology of the theory: thought experiments, observer as a reference frame, inertial and non-inertial frames, and many more. • The Euclidean space and the types in Einstein’s theory as the geometry of Minkowsky and Riemann. • Concept of inertial, gravitational, and relativistic mass. • The weakness of the twin paradox in Special Relativity. • Principle of equivalence incorporating gravity with General Relativity. Since it only explains 5% of the energy-mass of the observable universe and its peculiar characteristics, it belongs to the books of Global Metaphysics.

The Physical and Mathematical Foundations of the Theory of Relativity by Antonio Romano,Mario Mango Furnari Pdf

This unique textbook offers a mathematically rigorous presentation of the theory of relativity, emphasizing the need for a critical analysis of the foundations of general relativity in order to best study the theory and its implications. The transitions from classical mechanics to special relativity and then to general relativity are explored in detail as well, helping readers to gain a more profound and nuanced understanding of the theory as a whole. After reviewing the fundamentals of differential geometry and classical mechanics, the text introduces special relativity, first using the physical approach proposed by Einstein and then via Minkowski’s mathematical model. The authors then address the relativistic thermodynamics of continua and electromagnetic fields in matter – topics which are normally covered only very briefly in other treatments – in the next two chapters. The text then turns to a discussion of general relativity by means of the authors’ unique critical approach, underlining the difficulty of recognizing the physical meaning of some statements, such as the physical meaning of coordinates and the derivation of physical quantities from those of space-time. Chapters in this section cover the model of space-time proposed by Schwarzschild; black holes; the Friedman equations and the different cosmological models they describe; and the Fermi-Walker derivative. Well-suited for graduate students in physics and mathematics who have a strong foundation in real analysis, classical mechanics, and general physics, this textbook is appropriate for a variety of graduate-level courses that cover topics in relativity. Additionally, it will interest physicists and other researchers who wish to further study the subtleties of these theories and understand the contemporary scholarly discussions surrounding them.

Physics and Metaphysics of Time by José Tiberius Pdf

This book includes the two volumes of Global Metaphysics. The Equation of Love tries to replace the correct duality of subjective and objective reality, separating them from others, let us say, imaginary realities that could hinder scientific development. In addition to love poems and mathematical metaphysics of Love, space, and time it contains scientific sections: • The Riddle of Gravity • Relationship between hydrogen photon energy on Earth's surface and gravity force of a falling apple The second volume is the Theory of Relativity, Elements, and Criticism. Since it only explains 5% of the energy-mass of the observable universe and its peculiar characteristics, it belongs to the books of Global Metaphysics.

The Equation of Love by José Tiberius Pdf

Love poems and thoughts about relativity of time, metaphysics and the Equation of Love. Definition and concept of time. Gravity and a new theory of everything. In this book, perspectives of modern science and metaphysics are combined; besides the introduction about the relativity of love there are two titles dedicated to time and the Love Equation and gravity, respectively. In title II, the different definitions of time are discussed, emphasizing the subjective origin of the concept and the never-ending attempts to obtain its common and objective idea. There is a brief discussion about the new concept used by the physics science and, more thoroughly, the personal conception of metaphysical time and the time line as something real and subjective in contrast to the imaginary nature of time in Modern Physics. Title III focuses on the Equation of Love, Newton’s gravity and its interrelations with Modern Physics and, in particular, with Einstein’s equation of the mass-energy equivalence. In other words, the new theory attempts to replace the correct duality of subjective and objective reality in the realm of philosophy, separating them from other, let’s say, imaginary realities. It is not to say that imaginary realities are completely incorrect, but they do not correspond to the standard, common and simpler form of the operation of human logic and, as a epistemological result, of the scientific method.

Introduction to General Relativity by H. A. Atwater Pdf

Introduction to General Relativity is an introductory text on the concepts and modes of calculation used in general relativity. Topics covered range from Newton's laws of motion and the Galilean transformation to tensor analysis, equations of motion of free particles, electromagnetism, and gravitational fields and waves. Solutions of the field equations are also given. The emphasis is on the actual performance of relativistic calculations, rather than on mathematical rigor or exhaustive completeness. This volume is comprised of nine chapters and begins with an overview of the theory of relativity, which includes special relativity and general relativity. The discussion then turns to Newton's laws of motion and the Galilean transformation, electromagnetism and the Galilean transformation, and the Lorentz transformation. Subsequent chapters explore tensor analysis; equations of motion of free particles; gravitational fields and waves; relativity in cosmology; and unified theories and quantized theories of general relativity. The final chapter is devoted to Minkowski's coordinates and orthogonal transformations. This book will be a valuable resource for students of physics.

Elements of Einstein's Relativity The Special Theory by Swapan Kumar Barman Pdf

The Special Theory of Relativity is one of the revolutionary theories of 20th-century Physics. This book is primarily intended for students of physical science and mathematics at the undergraduate level and the author attempts to make clear the conceptual difficulties that they usually face in their first learning of the subject. A little bit of the historical development of the theory and contributions of a number of scientists in this course is presented in short. General readers with a background and curiosity in science may also find the book interesting if they like to set aside the mathematical complexities.
