This book offers a concise and coherent introduction to accelerator physics and technology at the fundamental level but still in connection to advanced applications ranging from high-energy colliders to most advanced light sources, i.
Partendo da fenomeni elementari viene studiata la teoria della relatività generale di Einstein, unitamente al principio di Galilei sulla caduta libera dei gravi che ne è il presupposto.
This book provides an introduction to the mathematics and physics of general relativity, its basic physical concepts, its observational implications, and the new insights obtained into the nature of space-time and the structure of the universe.
This first volume covers the mechanics of point particles, gravitation, extended systems (starting from the two-body system), the basic concepts of relativistic mechanics and the mechanics of rigid bodies and fluids.
This comprehensive textbook is devoted to classical and quantum cosmology, with particular emphasis on modern approaches to quantum gravity and string theory and on their observational imprint.
This book contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel.
This textbook provides an introduction to gravitational lensing, which has become an invaluable tool in modern astrophysics, with applications that range from finding planets orbiting distant stars to understanding how dark matter and dark energy conspired to form the cosmic structures we see today.
This volume explores the interplay between mathematical and physical research and the interactions of twentieth-century scientists within their academic communities.
This book is part of a large and growing body of work on the observation of analogue gravity effects, such as Hawking radiation, in laboratory systems.
Dieses essential vermittelt auf eingängige Weise, worum es bei Albert Einsteins Allgemeiner Relativitätstheorie geht und weshalb sie von so großer Bedeutung für die Wissenschaft und den Alltag ist.
This thesis introduces a new theoretical tool to explore the notion of time and temporal order in quantum mechanics: the relativistic quantum "e;clock"e; framework.
This book presents the proceedings of the 2nd Karl Schwarzschild Meeting on Gravitational Physics, focused on the general theme of black holes, gravity and information.

This Brief presents in a self-contained, non-technical and illustrative fashion the state-of-the-art results and techniques for the dynamics of extremal black holes.
This textbook introduces the current astrophysical observations of black holes, and discusses the leading techniques to study the strong gravity region around these objects with electromagnetic radiation.
This introductory text covers all the key concepts, relationships, and ideas behind spaceflight and is the perfect companion for students pursuing courses on or related to astronautics.
'Written by young theoretical physicists who are experts in the field, this volume is meant both to provide an introduction to the field and to offer a review of the latest developments, not discussed in many other existing books, for senior researchers.
