This unique title provides a broad introduction and review to the fascinating and profound subject of general relativity, its historical development, its important theoretical consequences, gravitational wave detection and applications to astrophysics and cosmology. The series focuses on five aspects of the theory: Genesis, Solutions and Energy ; Empirical Foundations ; Gravitational Waves ; Cosmology; Quantum Gravity. The first three topics are covered in Volume 1 and the remaining two are covered in Volume 2. While this is a two-volume title, it is designed so that each volume can be a standalone reference volume for the related topic."--Publisher's website.General relativity (Physics)HistoryGravitational wavesCosmologyQuantum gravityGeneral relativity (Physics)History.Gravitational waves.Cosmology.Quantum gravity.530.11Ni WeidouMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910346695503321One hundred years of general relativity2010099UNINA
