Description for Einstein´s Other Theory: The Planck-Bose-Einstein Theory of Heat Capacity
Hardback. Einstein's theories of relativity piqued public curiosity more than any other mathematical concepts since the time of Isaac Newton. This book addresses his other great theory, that of heat capacity and the Bose-Einstein condensate. It traces the history of radiation and heat capacity theory from the mid-19th century. Num Pages: 200 pages, 74 line illus. 2 tables. BIC Classification: PHH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 238 x 162 x 20. Weight in Grams: 448.
Einstein's theories of relativity piqued public curiosity more than any other mathematical concepts since the time of Isaac Newton. Scientists and non-scientists alike struggled, not so much to grasp as to believe the weird predictions of relativity theory--shrinking space ships, bending light beams, and the like. People all over the world watched with fascination as Einstein's predictions were relentlessly and unequivocally verified by a hundred experiments and astronomical observations. In the last decade of the twentieth-century, another of Einstein's theories has produced results that are every bit as startling as the space-time contractions of relativity theory. This book addresses his ... Read more

Reviews for Einstein´s Other Theory: The Planck-Bose-Einstein Theory of Heat Capacity
"It is rarely remembered in popular science circles that Einstein did much basic work on Brownian motion, produced a theory of solid-state heat capacities, and combined with the Indian physicist Satyendranath Bose to produce the so-called Bose-Einstein statistics as well. This book aims to examine these topics, apart from Brownian motion, in conjunction with Planck's contribution to the theory of ... Read more
