Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 1973. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known laws of physics break down. They will occur inside black holes, and in the past are what might be construed as the beginning of the universe. To show how these predictions arise, the authors discuss the General Theory of Relativity in the large. Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general space-time is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singualarities under certain conditions. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in this 1973 book.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First printing. Rare first edition of Stephen Hawking's first book, one of the most important works of theoretical physics of the 20th century. Hawking's LARGE SCALE STRUCTURE OF SPACE-TIME discusses the implication of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity on the formation of black holes (a lifelong obsession for Hawking) as well as the Big Bang. The first title in the now long-running Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics series and called "a masterpiece" on publication (Bryce Dewitt), the book has gone through numerous editions, including one to honor its 50th anniversary in 2023. This copy comes from the collection of physicist Freydoon Mansouri (1936-2003), whose work on string theory was foundational to that field and who later helped formulate the MacDowell-Mansouri action, used to derive Einstein's field equations of general relativity. A classic and hugely influential text with significant provenance linking two important physicists. 8.75'' x 5.75''. Original full blue cloth with spine titles stamped in silver. In original price-clipped mustard yellow printed jacket. [xii], 392 pages. Ownership stamps of noted physicist Freydoon Mansouri to top-, fore-, and bottom edges, as well as title page. Jacket spine mildly sunned, minor edgwear, a few small closed tears with tape repairs to verso. Overall, clean and sound. Near fine in a very good plus jacket. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 55551
