Publisher's Synopsis
The Theory of the Relativity of Motion, written by Richard C. Tolman in 1917, is a book that delves into the concept of relativity, specifically the theory of special relativity. The book explores the idea that the laws of physics are the same for all observers moving at a constant speed relative to one another. Tolman discusses the implications of this theory, including time dilation and length contraction, and how it affects our understanding of the universe. The book also includes mathematical equations and diagrams to support Tolman's arguments. Overall, The Theory of the Relativity of Motion is a foundational text for anyone interested in the field of physics or the concept of relativity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
