  • Stumbling Blocks Against Unification: On Some Persistent Misconceptions In Physics

    by Matej Pavsic ...
    The history is full of misconceptions that opposed the progress of physics. The book starts with reviewing some historical cases, such as the arguments against the Earth rotation, or the famous problem of ¾ in the theory of electromagnetic mass of electron. After having pointed out that misconceptions have been common in the history of physics, it is argued that they must be present today as well. ... Read more

  • Breakdown of Einstein's Equivalence Principle

    by Andrei G Lebed ...
    An equality between inertial and gravitational masses was established by Galileo Galilei more than 400 years ago and was accepted by Albert Einstein as a key point of his theory of gravitation — General Relativity. The above mentioned equality is called the Equivalence Principle. In this pioneering book, some unusual situations are described, where the Equivalence Principle is theoretically broken ...

  • Fundamental ideas and problems of the theory of Relativity

    by Einstein Albert ...
    Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is based on two principles:The laws of physics are constant, even when objects move at constant speeds relative to each other.The speed of light is the same for everyone, regardless of how they move relative to the light source.One fundamental problem with Einstein's theory of relativity is that relative spacetime is not true. Special relativity also ... Read more

  • Understanding Time and Space

    An Invitation to the Theory of Relativity for Anyone Who is Now, or Has Ever Been, an Inquisitive High School Student

    by Steven E Landsburg ...
    Understanding Time and Space is an invitation to the theory of relativity for anyone who is now or has ever been an inquisitive high school student.Relativity can seem violently counterintuitive. It says that different observers can describe the world in very different ways and they can all be correct. It helps to be reminded that you've known this since childhood, when you learned that the ... Read more

  • Legea gravitației universale a lui Newton

    by Nicolae Sfetcu ...
    Nimeni nu ştie sigur dacă amintirea lui Newton despre măr a fost corectă, dar perspectiva lui aceasta este. Filosofii au crezut încă de la greci că mişcarea "naturală" a stelelor, planetelor, Soarelui şi Lunei este circulară. Kepler a stabilit că orbitele sunt de fapt eliptice, dar a crezut că mişcările planetelor este dictată de către o "forţă divină" emanată de la Soare, iar Newton şi-a dat ... Read more

    When the Earth's shadow covers the sun's light, which would normally reflect off the moon, a lunar eclipse occurs. Total lunar eclipses, partial lunar eclipses, and penumbral lunar eclipses are the most spectacular, with the Earth's shadow totally covering the moon. Throughout history, eclipses have impressed awe and even worry, particularly once total satellite eclipses turned the moon chromatic. ... Read more
