Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger introduced his famous equation, now known as Schrödinger’s Equation. This groundbreaking formula describes how particles behave in the strange world of quantum ...

When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

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

After thinking about the problems for 10 years, he published the general theory of relativity. In it, he suggested that gravity is not a force, as Newton had believed, but the result of a ...

Excerpt from the back cover: This book will serve readers as a modern mathematical introduction to the general theory of relativity. Throughout the book, examples, worked out problems, and exercises ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.
