Chapters focus on the early reception of the theory in physics and philosophy and on the systematic questions that emerged shortly after Einstein's momentous discovery. They are written by physicists, historians of science, and philosophers, and were originally presented at the conference titled \u003ci\u003eThinking About Space and Time: 100 Years of Applying and Interpreting General Relativity\u003c\/i\u003e, held at the University of Bern from September 12-14, 2017. By establishing the historical context first, and then moving into more philosophical chapters, this volume will provide readers with a more complete understanding of early applications of general relativity (e.g., to cosmology) and of related philosophical issues. Because the chapters are often cross-disciplinary, they cover a wide variety of topics related to the general theory of relativity. These include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeuristics used in the discovery of general relativity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMach's Principle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe structure of Einstein's theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmology and the Einstein world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability of cosmological models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe metaphysical nature of spacetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between spacetime and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Geodesic Principle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThinking About Space and Time\u003c\/i\u003e will be a valuable resource for historians of science and philosophers who seek a deeper knowledge of the (early and later) uses of general relativity, as well as for physicists and mathematicians interested in exploring the wider historical and philosophical context of Einstein's theory.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-09-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030477813\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-47782-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521681780876,"sku":"9783030477813","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030477813.jpg?v=1776451859","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030477813","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
