Special and General Theory of Relativity for physicists and philosophers: Einstein and Lorentz Interpretation, Paradoxes, Space and Time

Description:

About this item:

Exactly and generally understandable, on the basis of the technical literature, are discussed:
The experimental proofs of relativity, the solutions of the paradoxes,
the theses on the four-dimensional space-time continuum of special relativity,
as well as the theses to the curved, expanding and closed space of general relativity.
Included are the general relativistic variant to solve the twin paradox and
the paradoxes of BELL, EHRENFEST and SAGNAC.

All topics are treated separately for the Einstein and Lorentz interpretation.
The so-called Lorentz interpretation was initiated by LORENTZ, POINCARÉ, BELL, SEXL and many others. It shows how well the idea of a three-dimensional space and a one-dimensional time harmonizes with EINSTEIN's principle of relativity and how paradoxes
can be solved particularly easily on this basis.

Kip S. Thorne (Nobel Prize 2017) refers to the Einstein and Lorentz interpretations as
paradigms and considers it
"extremely useful to have both paradigms at one’s fingertips."

The two interpretations also differ physically:
In NEWTON's theory there is a negative gravitational potential, because of
E=mc2
this means negative mass. Negative masses do not exist. Neither NEWTON's theory nor the Einstein interpretation can explain, what the negative energy of particles resting in
the field means. The LORENTZ interpretation gives a clear, experimentally
verifiable answer.

The mathematical derivations are deliberately simple to allow the reader to make his own,
comprehensive judgment on the paradoxes and on both interpretations.

The book is an understandable introduction to the theory of relativity. It discusses both interpretations, knowledge of which Nobel Prize winner Kip S. Thorne considers essential. The philosophical questions about space and time are covered in detail. For this I give 5 points.
