New Perspective On Relativity, A: An Odyssey In Non-euclidean Geometries

Starting off from noneuclidean geometries, apart from the method of Einstein''s equations, this book derives and describes the phenomena of gravitation and diffraction. A historical account is presented, exposing the missing link in Einstein''s construction of the theory of general relativity: the uniformly rotating disc, together with his failure to realize, that the Beltrami metric of hyperbolic...
