AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Albert Einstein.
Sidelights on Relativity.
Translated by G.B. Jeffery and W. Perrett.
Publisher: Methuen & Co., London, 1922. First English edition.
This concise volume contains two addresses by Dr. Einstein outlining aspects of the theories. Ether and Relativity (1920), delivered at the University of Leyden, discusses the properties demanded of the ether of space by the theory of relativity. Geometry and Experience (1921), given at the Prussian Academy of Sciences, describes the limits within which the Euclidean or any other practical geometric system can be held to be approximately true in connection with the concept of a finite universe.
Both lectures are reprinted here complete and unabridged; both express elegant ideas in simple prose devoid of complicated equations or abstruse terminology; both offer scientists and laypeople unparalleled insight into the seminal thinking of the 20th century’s greatest physicist.
Condition:
Hardcover Blue paneled cloth with black titling, with a few small spots of soiling, light rubbing to edges. Scratch at top right of the cover in good condition.
