Description for General Relativity, Astrophysics, and Cosmology (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)
Paperback. The discovery of compact objects, such as quasars and pulsars, and of the microwave background radiation, as well as the recent insight that astrophysical observations can illuminate elementary particle physics have greatly enhanced the interest in general relativity, which forms the theoretical background for these investigations. Series: Astronomy and Astrophysics Library. Num Pages: 312 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PGK; PHVB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 16. Weight in Grams: 568.
For about half a century the general theory of relativity attracted little attention from physicists. However, the discovery of compact objects such as quasars and pulsars, as well as candidates for black holes on the one hand, and the microwave background radiation on the other hand completely changed the picture. In addition, developments in elementary particle physics, such as predictions of the behavior of matter at the ultrahigh energies that might have prevailed in the early stages of the big bang, have greatly en hanced the interest in general relativity. These developments created a large body of readers interested in ... Read more
