"The Space-Time Code" takes Einstein's ideological process of establishing the special and general theories of relativity as the main line, and physicists' exploration of space-time and the universe as the main line. It gradually introduces the emergence, development, verification and application of the theory of relativity, introduces various magical relativistic effects and cosmological wonders, deeply analyzes the nature of space-time, clarifies some issues that are prone to misunderstanding, and also briefly introduces the unified field theory.
As a popular science book, "The Space-Time Code" covers most of the fascinating contents of the theory of relativity such as the nature of the speed of light, the slowness of clocks, mass-energy equivalence, Min's four-dimensional space-time, space-time rotation, space-time diagrams, light cones, gravitational fields, space-time metrics, space-time curvature, gravitational lenses, gravitational waves, time arrows, space-time quantization, multi-dimensional space-time, etc. It also covers the basics of the universe. This picture, the past and future of the universe, dark energy, black holes, white holes, wormholes, time and space travel and other related cosmological contents also involve atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, satellite navigation, visual image simulation of relativistic effects and other related technologies. At the same time, it also intersperses historical interesting things, so that readers can complete the exploration of the wonderful world of relativity in a relaxed atmosphere.
Reader comments
This book is really good! For a new mother like me, although some of the physics knowledge is already unfamiliar, the content of this book is interesting and easy to understand. I especially like the parts about space-time curvature and gravitational lensing in the book, which remind me of my own relatives and friends, as if we are also in that magical world of relativity. Moreover, the author interspersed many interesting historical anecdotes during the narration, which made it easy for me to read. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in science, but also for people like me who want to broaden their knowledge.
It's really good. If you like science, you can read this book. Although I'm not good at physics, I couldn't help but read it. After all, time travel, time reversal, general special theory, and unified theory are quite attractive. Not only that, you can also increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons while reading. In short, it's good to read. Trust me [smile][smile][smile]
Only two words: excellent
Understand the secrets of science
The description is detailed, well-founded, thoughtful, and rich in knowledge.
