“There are a number of attractive diagrams and the text is easy to read, The book can be recommended to physicists who would like to be provoked a little bit.” (Peter J. Bussey, Contemporary Physics, February 15, 2022)
Seven Fundamental Concepts in Spacetime Physics
von Vesselin PetkovThe book presents seven fundamental concepts in spacetime physics mostly by following Hermann Minkowski’s revolutionary ideas summarized in his 1908 lecture „Space and Time.“ These concepts are: spacetime, inertial and accelerated motion in spacetime physics, the origin and nature of inertia in spacetime physics, relativistic mass, gravitation, gravitational waves, and black holes. They have been selected because they appear to be causing most misconceptions and confusion in spacetime physics.
