Special and General Principle of Relativity. The basal principle, which was the pivot of all our previous considerations, was the special principle of relativity, i.e. the principle of the physical relativity of all uniform motion. Let as once more analyse its meaning carefully.

The general theory of relativity, together with the necessary parts of the theory of invariants, is dealt with in the author’s book Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity) — Joh. Ambr. Barth, 1916; this book assumes some familiarity with the special theory of relativity. v

SPACE AND TIME IN PRE-RELATIVITY PHYSICS HE theory of relativity is intimately connected with the theory of space and time. I shall therefore begin with a brief investigation of the origin of our ideas of space and time, although in doing so I know that I introduce a controversial subject. The object of all science,

General Relativity is the classical theory that describes the evolution of systems under the e ect of gravity. Its history goes back to 1915 when Einstein postulated that the laws of gravity can be expressed as a system of equations, the so-called Einstein equations. In order

Hartle, J. B. 2003, Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, (San Francisco: Addison Wesely) This is GR Lite, at a very di↵erent level from the previous three texts. But for what it is meant to be, it succeeds very well. Coming into the subject cold, this is not a bad place to
general relativity are derived. A wide range of applications to physical situations follows, and the conclusion gives a brief discussion of classical field theory and the derivation of general relativity from a variational principle. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this approachable
