商品描述

The latest volume in the New York Times-bestselling physics series explains Einstein's masterpiece: the general theory of relativity 

He taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by a new collaborator, mathematician André Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein's general theory of relativity. Starting from the equivalence principle and covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces and tensor calculus, Susskind and Cabannes explain the link between gravity and geometry. They delve into black holes, establish Einstein field equations, and solve them to describe gravity waves. The authors provide vivid explanations that, to borrow a phrase from Einstein himself, are as simple as possible (but no simpler).

An approachable yet rigorous introduction to one of the most important topics in physics, General Relativity is a must-read for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the universe's real structure.

《紐約時報》暢銷物理系列的最新卷冊解釋了愛因斯坦的傑作:廣義相對論 

他教會了我們經典力學、量子力學和狹義相對論。現在,物理學家倫納德·薩斯金德(Leonard Susskind)在數學家安德烈·卡班尼斯(André Cabannes)的協助下,回來探討愛因斯坦的廣義相對論。從等效原理開始,涵蓋黎曼空間和張量微積分所需的數學,薩斯金德和卡班尼斯解釋了重力與幾何之間的聯繫。他們深入探討黑洞,建立愛因斯坦場方程,並解決這些方程以描述重力波。作者提供生動的解釋,借用愛因斯坦自己的話,這些解釋盡可能簡單(但不簡單到無法再簡化)。

《廣義相對論》是物理學中最重要主題之一的可接近且嚴謹的介紹,對於任何想深入了解宇宙真實結構的人來說,都是必讀之作。

作者簡介

Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor in Theoretical Physics at Stanford University. He is the author of Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory and Quantum Mechanics (with Art Friedman), and the New York Times-bestselling The Theoretical Minimum (with George Hrabovsky), among other books. He lives in Palo Alto, California.
