Author: Hermann BondiTitle: Relativity and CommonsenseBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 192Release Date: 0000-00-00Details: This radically reoriented and popular presentation of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity derives its concepts from Newtonian ideas rather than by opposing them. Sir Hermann Bondi explains the concepts of force, momentum, rotation, sound, and light and their relation to velocity. He then demonstrates that time is relative rather than absolute, that high speeds affect the nature of time, and that acceleration affects speed, time, and mass. Very little mathematics is required, and 60 illustrations augment the text.EAN: 9780486240213Package Dimensions: Height: 7.92 Inches, Length: 5.36 Inches, Weight: 0.45635688234 Pounds, Width: 0.41 Inches
