From Newton to Einstein: Changing Conceptions of the Universe is a book written by Benjamin Harrow. The book explores the evolution of scientific thought about the universe from the time of Sir Isaac Newton to the revolutionary ideas of Albert Einstein. The author takes the reader on a journey through the history of science, examining the discoveries and theories that shaped our understanding of the universe.The book begins with a discussion of Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, which were the foundation of classical physics. It then moves on to the 19th century, when scientists began to discover new phenomena that challenged the classical view of the universe. The author discusses the work of James Clerk Maxwell, who developed the theory of electromagnetism, and the discovery of radioactivity by Marie Curie.The book then delves into the early 20th century, when Einstein's theories of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time. The author explains Einstein's ideas in a clear and accessible way, and shows how they challenged the classical view of the universe.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of experimentation and observation in the development of scientific theories. He also discusses the social and cultural context in which scientific ideas emerged, showing how they were shaped by the political and intellectual climate of their time.Overall, From Newton to Einstein: Changing Conceptions of the Universe is a fascinating exploration of the history of science, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of scientific thought about the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
