COSMOLOGICAL SPECIAL RELATIVITY
The Large Scale Structure of Space, Time and Velocity
by Moshe Carmeli (Ben Gurion University, Israel)
This book deals with special relativity theory and its application to cosmology. It presents Einstein's theory of space and time in detail, and describes the large scale structure of space, time and velocity as a new cosmological special relativity. A cosmological Lorentz-like transformation, which relates events at different cosmic times, is derived and applied. A new law of addition of cosmic times is obtained, and the inflation of the space at the early universe is derived, both from the cosmological transformation. The book will be of interest to cosmologists, astrophysicists, theoretical physicists, mathematical physicists and mathematicians.
Contents:
- Cosmological Special Relativity
- Extension of the Lorentz
Group to Cosmology
- Fundamentals of Einstein's Special Relativity
- Structure of Spacetime
- The Light Cone
- Mass, Energy and Momentum
Readership: Astrophysicists, cosmologists, theoretical physicists and
mathematical physicists.
"The book is written in a very clear and pedagogical way, and emphasis is placed on conceptual rather than on formal developments. Some of its chapters constitute in their own right an excellent introductory text on special relativity."
