Excerpt from The Rudiments of Relativity: Lectures Delivered Under the Auspices of the University College, Johannesburg, Scientific Society
The object of the investigation of natural phenomena, which is the purpose of Natural Philosophy, is the introduction of order into the apparently chaotic appear ances of Nature. In accomplishing this, reliance is placed upon two fundamental a priort' relations of order. The first of these relational processes is an immediate application of the serial order involvedin the idea expressed by the words before and after. Of two events, A and B, which present themselves to my con sciousness, I can generally state that A either precedes or succeeds B. To avoid complications, I consider only events of sufficiently short duration; otherwise there might be overlapping, and it would then be possible for event A to both precede and succeed event B. If, for example, event A were my addressing you to-night, and event B were the passage of the hands of the clock across the position usually read as 9 o'clock, then A would both precede and succeed B. We shall exclude such over lapping, and imagine that we are dealing with events of such short duration that we can relate them in definite serial order. This intuitive seriation yields us a time order in which the conscious mind can arrange its experiences.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkable introduction to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The author, a renowned physicist himself, masterfully simplifies the theory's complex concepts to make them understandable to the average reader. It begins by explaining how our perception of time and space is subjective and relative, then delves into the Special Theory of Relativity, which holds that the speed of light is constant regardless of the motion of the observer. The second half of the book explores the General Theory of Relativity, discussing the curvature of spacetime and the implications of non-uniform motion. Throughout, the author emphasizes the experimental evidence that supports the theory and clarifies the profound implications it has on our understanding of the universe. By shedding light on Einstein's groundbreaking work, this book provides a deeper appreciation of the nature of reality and the interconnectedness of time, space, and matter. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
