Dieter Hoffmann conveys how Einstein's life and work were linked to the scientific and social life of the city and inspires the reader to explore the places where he made his mark.
À la croisée de la physique et des neurosciences, ce livre unique propose une nouvelle approche du fonctionnement cérébral à partir des travaux d’Einstein sur la relativité et la constante cosmologique. « L’ouvrage multiplie les allers-retours entre ce que nous savons de ces deux univers que sont le cosmos et notre cerveau, leur énergie et leur matière, qu’elle soit noire, grise ou blanche. Il aborde en alternance les questions fondamentales de la physique et de la cosmologie contemporaines et fait l’état des lieux de nos connaissances sur le fonctionnement du cerveau, tirées notamment des révélations de la neuro-imagerie. » D. L. B. L’hypothèse révolutionnaire d’un espace-temps cérébral relativiste offre un éclairage nouveau sur notre perception du monde, sur notre conscience, nos interactions sociales et les maladies mentales. Un livre magistral, audacieux, qui invite à un voyage en pensée, des confins de l’univers aux profondeurs du cerveau. Auteur du livre à succès Le Cerveau de cristal (2012), Denis Le Bihan est médecin et physicien. Membre de l’Institut, il a fondé et dirigé NeuroSpin et reçu de nombreux prix prestigieux internationaux pour ses travaux de neuro-imagerie. En couverture : la lettre figure la constante cosmologique, l’erreur d’Einstein, tandis que les deux cerveaux, avec leurs horloges, peuvent être vus comme deux états mentaux de la même personne ou comme deux personnes en train d’interagir, dans le cadre d’un espace-temps cérébral relativiste. copyright A.

Einstein's Jury is the dramatic story of how astronomers in Germany, England, and America competed to test Einstein's developing theory of relativity. Weaving a rich narrative based on extensive archival research, Jeffrey Crelinsten shows how these early scientific debates shaped cultural attitudes we hold today. The book examines Einstein's theory of general relativity through the eyes of astronomers, many of whom were not convinced of the legitimacy of Einstein's startling breakthrough. These were individuals with international reputations to uphold and benefactors and shareholders to please, yet few of them understood the new theory coming from the pen of Germany's up-and-coming theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein. Some tried to test his theory early in its development but got no results. Others--through toil and hardship, great expense, and perseverance--concluded that it was wrong. A tale of international competition and intrigue, Einstein's Jury brims with detail gleaned from Crelinsten's far-reaching inquiry into the history and development of relativity. Crelinsten concludes that the well-known British eclipse expedition of 1919 that made Einstein famous had less to do with the scientific acceptance of his theory than with his burgeoning public fame. It was not until the 1920s, when the center of gravity of astronomy and physics shifted from Europe to America, that the work of prestigious American observatories legitimized Einstein's work. As Crelinsten so expertly shows, the glow that now surrounds the famous scientist had its beginnings in these early debates among professional scientists working in the glare of the public spotlight.
Explores and compares the life and works of two physicists, regarded as geniuses, from childhood through their professional careers.
It is a world turned upside down a world created when a future time traveler re-directs the course of World War II. The United States has suffered six decades of oppressive fascist rule. Now, while a decimated band of expatriate American rebels fight to liberate their country, international dissension threatens a nuclear holocaust. Tony Shane-a rebel with a dangerous, incredible plan-has inherited wartime secrets that might free his country: a plan derived from Albert Einstein-whose cryptic legacy conceals an improbable time travel strategy. To unravel the secrets of "Einstein's tunnel," Shane persuades Sarah Stenstrom-a beautiful young scientist in a Nazi cyber-research laboratory-to join his cause. But their intimate relationship soon threatens the entire mission. Vito Mironi-a powerful mob boss within a corrupt Nazi regime-secretly supports the rebels. But the reality of Einstein's plan soon converts Mironi into Shane's most dangerous adversary. Joining Shane's desperate odyssey is a ruthless rebel assassin, Salom, with a burning personal agenda. But only Nathan Carothers-charismatic rebel leader-knows the true dark purpose underlying their mission. Confronted by surprising obstacles, Tony Shane traverses a perilous path-while racing a deadly doomsday clock-to fulfill the promise of Einstein's Tunnel.
A Nobel Laureate relates the fascinating story of Einstein and relativity theory in well-illustrated, nontechnical terms, discussing the meaning of time, gravity and its effect on light, the curving of space-time, more.
The purpose of this book is to refute Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory (and GRT) systematically that should have been done by scientists much earlier. Chapter One and Two have a briefing of main assertions of Special Relativity Theory (SRT) and raise questions and list out the inconsistent of SRT with basic laws and realities of physics. The following chapters reveal and refute the fundamental mistakes and flaws of every assertion of SRT one by one in details. The time dilation assertion of SRT is refuted systematically based on wave-particle duality of light in Chapter Three and Chapter Four. In Chapter Five and Chapter Six, the inconsistent of Doppler Effect of SRT are revealed and clarified based on physical reality and functionality. Einstein’s Lorentz transformation is refuted theoretically and practically in Chapter Seven and Eight firstly by clarifying that the light pulse must be lasting a delta time ?t > 0, then the moving frame X’ is no more the light source so that the basic formula x’= ct’ is wrong fundamentally. Some points of Michelson-Morley experiment are clarified in Chapter Nine. Main deductions and conclusions of SRT are refuted in Chapter Ten. Existence of ether as medium of light wave is verified theoretically and practically in Chapter Eleven. GRT is falsified in Chapter Twelve based on re-discovering and re-clarifying some properties of light and EM wave.
First published in1966, here is presented a comprehensive overview of one of the most elusive scientific speculations by the pre-eminent genius of the 20th century. The theory is viewed by some scientists with deep suspicion, by others with optimism, but all agree that it represents an extreme challenge. As the author herself affirms, this work is not intended to be a complete treatise or ‘didactic exposition’ of the theory of unified fields, but rather a tool for further study, both by students and professional physicists. Dealing with all the major areas of research which together comprise the development of a working model, the author ranges over conservation equations, variational principles, solutions of spherical symmetry, and treats a wide selection of Einstein’s own equations. The final chapter indicates problems associated with the unified field theory, in particular the energy-momentum tensor and geodesics.

Sample Book Insights: #1 Mileva Marić was born on December 19, 1875, in the town of Titel in the predominately Serbian province of Vojvodina on the southern border of Hungary. She was the first child of Miloš Marić and Marija Ruzić. #2 The Ottoman Empire was in decline, and Hungary began to dissolve its Military Frontier. Miloš returned to civilian life in the year of Mileva's birth. She began middle school in 1886 in Novi Sad, and her father decided that she would receive an education as far as her abilities would take her. #3 After just a year at the Serbian Girls’ School, Mileva transferred in 1887 to another middle school, the Royal Lower Secondary School in Sremska Mitrovica on the Sava River not far from her family's home in Ruma. She was determined to continue her education at a gymnasium. #4 Mileva attended the Royal Serbian Gymnasium in Šabac, Serbia, in 1890, and the Royal Croatian Gymnasium in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1892. She was admitted as a private student in 1892, and was given a stipend to attend the gymnasium.
'Einstein's Generation' offers a new approach to the origins of modern physics by exploring both the material culture that stimulated relativity and the reaction of Einstein's colleagues to his pioneering work.
