Physics
hardcover. This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions and consequences of Einstein's pathbreaking achievements that sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time, radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity. Editor(s): Lehner, Christoph; Renn, Jurgen; Schemmel, Matthias. Series: Einstein Studies. Num Pages: 375 pages, 16 black & white illustrations, 5 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBX; PDX; PGC; PHDV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 161 x 243 x 25. Weight in Grams: 694.
