商品描述
This textbook combines the mathematical foundations of the theory of special and general relativity with numerous applications in physics and astronomy. Besides the discussion of classical experiments that impressively confirm the predictions of the theory of relativity, a special focus is on cosmology, as an important application of general relativity. The discussion of the physics of compact stellar objects, i.e. white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, and a short section on the formation and evolution of stars complement the presentation. The authors put special emphasis on relativistic visualization. Two chapters give an overview of various visualization techniques in special and general relativity. Examples of relativistic visualization make the predictions of relativity, which so blatantly seem to contradict everyday experience, more tangible and intelligible. The resulting figures and accompanying videos support the understanding of the topics covered in the text. The videos are accessible also via the Springer Nature More Media App. This edition is the translation and extension of a textbook of the authors written in German. It also includes more recent developments in astrophysics and cosmology, such as the detection and observation of gravitational waves, or the Hubble controversy. The book is intended for students of physics and related study courses who would like to get an overview of both the theory of relativity and its areas of application. However, the interested layperson, too, will gain a new and deeper insight into relativity and astrophysics.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本教科書結合了特殊相對論和一般相對論的數學基礎，並與物理學和天文學中的眾多應用相結合。除了討論那些令人印象深刻地確認相對論預測的經典實驗外，特別重點放在宇宙學上，作為一般相對論的一個重要應用。對於緊湊恆星物體的物理學討論，即白矮星、中子星和黑洞，以及關於恆星形成和演化的簡短部分，補充了這一內容。
作者特別強調相對論的可視化。兩章概述了特殊相對論和一般相對論中的各種可視化技術。相對論可視化的例子使得那些看似明顯與日常經驗相矛盾的相對論預測變得更加具體和易於理解。所產生的圖形和伴隨的視頻支持了對文本中所涵蓋主題的理解。這些視頻也可以通過Springer Nature More Media App訪問。
本版是作者用德語撰寫的教科書的翻譯和擴展版。它還包括了天體物理學和宇宙學中的最新發展，例如引力波的檢測和觀測，或哈勃爭議。
這本書旨在為物理學及相關學科的學生提供相對論及其應用領域的概述。然而，對於有興趣的外行人來說，也將獲得對相對論和天體物理學的新且更深入的見解。
作者簡介
Sebastian Boblest studied physics at the University of Stuttgart and earned his PhD in Theoretical Physics. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems at the University of Stuttgart. His research interests were visualization in special and general relativity, as well as the visualization of flow simulations on supercomputers. He now works with Robert Bosch GmbH, Reutlingen, in the field of embedded artificial intelligence. Thomas Müller is a research associate at the House of Astronomy and at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg. He studied physics at the Eberhards Karls University of Tübingen, where he also earned his PhD.He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems at the University of Stuttgart. His research interests are visualization in special and general relativity, astronomy, and astrophysics, the visualization of high-resolution LIDAR data for geomorphological analyses, and the development of educational software. Günter Wunner studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, where he earned his PhD and his habilitation degree.
