DOWNLOAD EBOOK'The Theory of Relativity and Its Influence on Scientific Thought' is a book written by Arthur Eddington; an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician. Eddington wrote a number of articles that announced and explained Einstein's theory of general relativity to the English-speaking world. World War I had severed many lines of scientific communication, and new developments in German science were not well known in England. He also conducted an expedition to observe the solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 that provided one of the earliest confirmations of general relativity, and he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of the theory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNot only was Arthur S. Eddington a world-renowned experts on Einstein's theory of relativity but he had the rare talent to convey the most profound ideas of modern physics to a wider audience. This volume reprints a collection of some of his best works mostly on the implications of relativity for our understanding of the world. Included in the volume are six works by Eddington and a Symposium on the philosophical aspects of the theory of relativity with the participation of two physicists (A. S. Eddington and F. A. Lindemann) and two philosophers (C. D. Broad and W. D. Ross): (1) The Theory of Relativity and its Influence on Scientific Thought (Oxford University Press, Oxford 1922); (2) The Relativity of Time, Nature 106 802-804 (17 February 1921); (3) The Meaning of Matter and the Laws of Nature according to the Theory of Relativity, Mind 29 (114) 145-158 (1920); (4) The End of the World: from the Standpoint of Mathematical Physics, Nature 127 447-453 (21 March 1931); (5) The Expanding Universe, Nature 129 421-423 (19 March 1932); (6) The Decline of Determinism, Nature 129 233-240 (13 February 1932); (7) The Philosophical Aspect of the Theory of Relativity: A Symposium, Mind 29 (116) 415-445 (1920)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is often said that there is no "philosophy of science", but only the philosophies of certain scientists. But in so far as we recognize an authoritative body of opinion which decides what is and what is not accepted as present-day physics, there is an ascertainable present-day philosophy of physical science. It is the philosophy to which those who follow the accepted practice of science stand committed by their practice. This book contains the substance of the course of lectures which the author Eddington delivered as Tarner Lecturer of Trinity College Cambridge in the Easter Term 1938. The lectures have afforded him an opportunity of developing more fully than in his earlier books the principles of philosophic thought associated with the modern advances of physical science.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis text provides an account of various experiments, that demonstrate a simplified reality where space and time are relegated to their proper source – the observer. The principles of these experiments and theories originate from the ideas of Einstein, and this text aims to present this 'new' outlook without the need for extensive knowledge of mathematics, physics, or philosophy. This text will be of considerable use to those with a keen interest in physics, and would make for a great addition to any bookshelf. The chapters of this book include: 'The Fitzgerald Contraction', 'Relativity', 'The World of Four Dimensions', 'Fields of Force', 'Kinds of Space', 'The New Law of Gravitation and the Old Law', 'Weighing Light', 'Other Tests of The Theory', 'Momentum and Energy', etcetera. We are publishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a new biography of the author.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA thrilling adventure story chronicling the perilous journey of the scientists who set out to prove the theory of relativity--the results of which catapulted Albert Einstein to fame and forever changed our understanding of the universe. In 1911, a relatively unknown physicist named Albert Einstein published his preliminary theory of gravity. But it hadn't been tested. To do that, he needed a photograph of starlight as it passed the sun during a total solar eclipse. So began a nearly decade-long quest by seven determined astronomers from observatories in four countries, who traveled the world during five eclipses to capture the elusive sight. Over the years, they faced thunderstorms, the ravages of a world war, lost equipment, and local superstitions. Finally, in May of 1919, British expeditions to northern Brazil and the island of Príncipe managed to photograph the stars, confirming Einstein's theory. At its heart, this is a story of frustration, faith, and ultimate victory--and of the scientists whose efforts helped build the framework for the big bang theory, catapulted Einstein to international fame, and shook the foundation of physics.
