AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Foundations of Einstein's Theory of Gravitation.
FREUNDLICH, Erwin. [EINSTEIN, Albert]
Published by: Cambridge University press., 1922
First printing, second English edition.
The first English translation, by Australian physicist Henry Brose, was released in 1920. This version included new essays by Brose and an introduction by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner.
The book provides a concise and readable explanation of the complex theories and ideas that served as the foundation for Einstein's general theory of relativity.
It offers insight into how the theory was understood and interpreted by the scientific community in its early stages. Freundlich was one of the first scientists to grasp the implications of relativity for astronomy.
Freundlich's book is not just an explanation of relativity, but a crucial historical snapshot of how Einstein's revolutionary ideas were first presented and understood by his contemporaries, bridging the gap between abstract theory and real-world astronomical tests.
