A Panoramic Introduction; Standard Cosmology and Other Possible UniversesIt is now a century ago that one of the icons of modern physics published some of the most influential scientific papers of all times. With his work on relativity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein has altered the field of physics forever. It should not come as a surprise that looking back at Einstein's work, one needs to rethink the whole scope of physics, before and after his time. This books aims to provide a perspective on the history of modern physics, spanning from the late 19th century up to today. It is not an encyclopedic work, but it presents the groundbreaking and sometimesPhysicsEinsteinphysicsAnnalen der PhysikhistoryPhysics.530M.
