The Principle Of Relativity With Applications To Physical Science (1922)

""The Principle of Relativity with Applications to Physical Science"" is a book written by Alfred North Whitehead and first published in 1922. The book explores the theory of relativity, a cornerstone of modern physics, and its applications to various branches of physical science. Whitehead provides a detailed explanation of the principle of relativity, discussing its origins, development, and implications for our understanding of space, time, and motion. He also explores the mathematical and experimental aspects of relativity, including the Lorentz transformations, the Michelson-Morley experiment, and the concept of spacetime. Throughout the book, Whitehead emphasizes the importance of relativity in shaping our understanding of the physical world, and its relevance to contemporary scientific research. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science, as well as for students and researchers in physics and related fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
