The topics covered include geometric formulation of special relativity, the principle of equivalence, Einstein's field equation and its spherical-symmetric solution, as well as cosmology. An emphasis is placed on physical examples and simple applications without the full tensor apparatus. It begins by examining the physics of the equivalence principle and looks at how it inspiredEinstein's idea of curved spacetime as the gravitational field. At a more mathematically accessible level, it provides a metric descrRelativity (Physics)TextbooksSpace and timeGravityBlack holes (Astronomy)CosmologyPhysicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCPhysics - GeneralHILCCAtomic PhysicsHILCCRelativity (Physics)Space and timeGravityBlack holes (Astronomy)CosmologyPhysicsPhysical Sciences & MathematicsPhysics - GeneralAtomic Physics530.11Cheng Ta-Pei53500AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910797137803321A College Course on Relativity and Cosmology3863308UNINA02223nam0 22005053i 450 UBO030498320251003044419.08886969503978888696950519990917d1999 ||||0itac50 baitait|||| |||y|z01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrierModernizzazione riflessivapolitica, tradizione ed estetica nell'ordine sociale della modernitàUlrich Beck, Anthony Giddens, Scott LashTriesteAsterios1999282 p.22 cmˆI ‰giorni del futuroTrad. di Laura Pelaschiar, Jvana Golubovic, Laura Papo.001TO005546002001 ˆI ‰giorni del futuroReflexive modernizationPUV049193715707SocietàSec. 20.FIRCFIC000094E301SOCIOLOGIA E ANTROPOLOGIA21303PROCESSI SOCIALI20303.4CAMBIAMENTO SOCIALE21306.0904CULTURA E ISTITUZIONI. 1900-199921Beck, UlrichTO0V086447070119835Giddens, AnthonyCFIV000505070119687Lash, ScottMILV007114070143986Golubović, IvanaCFIV043650Pelaschiar, LauraCFIV111650Papo, LauraTSAV426783Pelaschiar McCourt, LauraCFIV143421Pelaschiar, LauraPelaschiar Mc Court, LauraCFIV143532Pelaschiar, LauraPelaschiar Mccourt, LauraLZ1V135147Pelaschiar, LauraITIT-00000019990917IT-BN0095 NAP 01POZZO LIB.Vi sono collocati fondi di economia, periodici di ingegneria e scienze, periodici di economia e statistica e altri fondi comprendenti documenti di economia pervenuti in dono.
