  • Faster than Light

    How Your Shadow Can Do It but You Can't

    by Robert J. Nemiroff ...
    Albert Einstein knew already in the early 1900s, when he first published his famous paper about the constancy of the speed of light, that not only did this constancy imply that mass contains energy (E = m c squared), but that faster-than-light motion could lead to paradoxes -- some that seemed to involve backwards time travel.What are these paradoxes? Why is light and its speed relevant? This book ... Read more

    Series Book 3 - Series In Applied And Computational Mathematics
    This book is devoted to the Einstein's field equations of general relativity for self-gravitating massive scalar fields.

  • Extended Lagrange and Hamilton Formalism for Point Mechanics and Covariant Hamilton Field Theory

    by Jürgen Struckmeier, Walter Greiner ...
    This book presents the extended Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms of point mechanics and field theory in the usual tensor language of standard textbooks on classical dynamics. The notion 'extended' signifies that the physical time of point dynamics as well as the space-time in field theories are treated as dynamical variables. It thus elaborates on some important questions including: How do we ... Read more
