商品描述

A pithy yet deep introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity

Of the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate. On Gravity combines depth with accessibility to take us on a compelling tour of Einstein's general theory of relativity. A. Zee begins with the discovery of gravity waves, then explains how gravity can be understood in comparison to other classical field theories, presents the idea of curved spacetime, and explores black holes and Hawking radiation. Zee travels as far as the theory reaches, leaving us with tantalizing hints of the unknown, from the intransigence of quantum gravity to the mysteries of dark matter. Infused with Zee's signature warmth and fresh style, On Gravity opens a unique pathway to comprehending relativity, gravity, spacetime, and the workings of the universe.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

對愛因斯坦廣義相對論的簡潔而深刻的介紹

在四種基本自然力中,重力可能是最不被理解的,但卻是我們最熟悉的力量。《重力》結合了深度與可及性,帶領我們深入探索愛因斯坦的廣義相對論。A. Zee 以重力波的發現為起點,然後解釋重力如何與其他經典場論進行比較,提出彎曲時空的概念,並探討黑洞和霍金輻射。Zee 走得越遠,理論的邊界也越廣,留下了對未知的誘惑性暗示,從量子重力的頑固性到暗物質的奧秘。充滿了 Zee 標誌性的溫暖和新穎風格,《重力》為理解相對論、重力、時空及宇宙運作開啟了一條獨特的道路。
