Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

Einstein’s equation, E = mc², means that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable. The speed of light (c) squared is an enormous multiplier, so even a tiny bit of mass contains an enormous ...

Researchers have shown that abstract mathematical functions from the frontiers of theoretical physics have a real-world use ...

This book, first appearing in German in 2004 under the title Spezielle Relativitätstheorie für Studienanfänger, offers access to the special theory of relativity for readers with a background in ...

This book aims to communicate the basic logic of interferometric gravitational wave detectors to students who are new to the field. It assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of physics, but no ...

invent solutions for differential equations, predict the existence of the Earth’s ionosphere, reformulate Maxwell’s field equations in terms of electric and magnetic forces and ...
