Beginning with Einstein?s general theory of relativity, the authors investigate a series of dramatic discoveries and rival theories in physics that influenced the development of modern differential geometry. Other sections recount the numerous methods, like the resurgence of Weyl geometry, used by geometers to solve the problems revealed by those same innovations in space-time physics. The effect of general relativity on astronomy is also addressed, namely how astronomers worked through new theories like inflationary cosmology and Phoenix models. By including recent historical research and coupling this work with many disciplines? unique perspectives, this text provides a rich picture of general relativity and cosmology over the course of the twentieth century. The increased study on the documentation of Einstein?s early scientific work has clarified the history of science for that time and profoundly altered the way scientists view their own work, as this interdisciplinary volume demonstrates. 410 0$aEinstein Studies,$x2381-5833 ;$v14 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aGravitation 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aDifferential geometry 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aDifferential Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aDifferential geometry. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 14$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a530.11 702 $aRowe$b David E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSauer$b Tilman$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWalter$b Scott A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300549203321 996 $aBeyond Einstein$92529264 997 $aUNINA
