A brief introduction to gravity through Einstein's general theory of relativityOf the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate.
Siguiendo el enfoque clásico de Lev Landau y Evgenii Lifshitz, este libro introduce la teoría de la relatividad especial y general desde el formalismo lagrangiano y el principio de mínima acción.
La gravedad cuántica de lazos es uno de los enfoques más promisorios hoy en día para unificar los dos pilares de la física teórica moderna: la teoría cuántica y la relatividad general.
Las ideas que, además del tiempo, se tenían sobre la materia y la energía, el espacio y la gravitación, han cambiado radicalmente a partir del cataclismo que, para la física, significó Einstein y su teoría de la relatividad.
The History of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides - 'With icy remorselessness, it puts paid to any notion that the horrors of modern history might be an aberration - for it tells of universal war, of terrorism, revolution and genocide' Tom HollandThe long life-and-death struggle between Athens and Sparta plunged the ancient Greek world into decades of war.

While the theory of special relativity is often associated with the idea of traveling faster than light, this book shows that in all these cases subtle forces of nature conspire to prevent these motions being harnessed to send signals faster than the speed of light.
