This text provides an account of various experiments, that demonstrate a simplified reality where space and time are relegated to their proper source - the observer. The principles of these experiments and theories originate from the ideas of Einstein, and this text aims to present this 'new' outlook without the need for extensive knowledge of mathematics, physics, or philosophy. This text will be of considerable use to those with a keen inter...

This vintage book contains a fascinating book on scientific theory and development, written by sir Arthur Eddington. It contains a discussion of the philosophical outlook of modern science, a summary of then-contemporary knowledge, and a number of fascinating and insightful lectures on the various scientific topics. The chapters of this book include: 'Science and Experience', 'Dramatis Personae', 'The End of the World', 'The Decline of Determi...

This book contains A. S. Eddington's 1914 monograph, "Stellar Movements and The Structure of The Universe". This fascinating treatise contains a full account of the state of astronomy in the early twentieth century, and is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of this branch of science. Contents include: "The Data of Observation", "General Outline", "The Nearest Stars", "Moving Clusters", "The Solar Syste...

Physicist and astronomer Arthur Eddington tested Einstein's Theory of Relativity at an eclipse in 1919. A lifelong Quaker, his 1929 Swarthmore Lecture explores how science and religion define and look at reality. 'You will understand the true spirit neither of science nor of religion unless seeking is placed in the forefront.' 'He puts a strong line against simplistic reductionism in relation to our minds . He emphasizes that when we ask the q...

Sir Arthur Eddington here formulates mathematically his conception of the world of physics derived from the theory of relativity.

This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed w...

By his theory of relativity, Albert Einstein has provoked a revolution of thought in physical science. The aim of this book is to give an account of Einstein's work without introducing anything very technical in the way of mathematics, physics, or philosophy.

This classic book is essential reading for all those interested in the development of modern physics.Sir Arthur Eddington's account of the general theory of relativity, 'without, ' as he says in his preface, 'introducing anything very technical in the way of mathematics, physics or philosophy', was first published in the exciting days of 1920 soon after the first objective tests of the theory had demonstrated its validity. The book was at once...

The equations of general relativity include a constant lambda in their solution. If lambda is non-zero and positive, this represents the existence of a phenomenon of cosmical repulsion. In this book Eddington discussed the implications of this models of the universe.
