VBHT17: The Einstein Field Equations, Part 2
added 2001 june 24 by Rich
VBHT
"An account of the Einstein field equations focusing on physical rather than geometric aspects."
VBHT18: Big Bang Cosmologies
added 2001 june 24 by Rich
VBHT
"The basic framework for the physics of the universe on the largest scales is the family of homogeneous, isotropic cosmological models, the so-called Big Bang models."
VBHT0: Overview
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"This is the short essay that started off the whole Very Brief History of Time..."
VBHT16: The Einstein Field Equations, Part 1
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"The Einstein field equations are the equations are the equations linking the geometry of a spacetime to its matter and energy content."
VBHT15: Symmetries and Conservation Laws
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A brief discussion of Noether's theorem connecting symmetries of the laws of physics with local conservation laws."
VBHT14: Fields
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"An account of the idea of classical field equations."
VBHT13: General Relativistic Spacetime
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A description of the curved spacetime of general relativity."
VBHT12: The Equivalence Principle
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"The fundamental principle of general relativty, the relativistic theory of gravitation, is that uniform gravitation and uniform acceleration are indistinguishable."
VBHT11: Curved Spaces
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A digression into the geometry of curved spaces, a subject that will prove important in general relativity."
VBHT10: Quantum Field Theory
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"An outline of the theory that unites special relativity and quantum mechanics."
VBHT9: Quantum Nonlocality
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"Quantum systems can influence each other over spacelike intervals - faster than light!"
VBHT8: Indistinguishable Histories, Part 2
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A description of the emergence of classical mechanics as an approximation to the sum-over-histories formulation of quantum mechanics."
VBHT7: Indistinguishable Histories, Part 1
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A discussion of the Young's slits experiments and the interference of indistinguishable histories in quantum mechanics."
VBHT6: Quantum Mechanics
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"The second great revolution in modern physics in outline."
VBHT5: Variational Principles
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A brief discussion of the Principle of Stationary Time in optics and the Principle of Least Action in mechanics."
VBHT4: Special Relativity
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A description of the new Minkowskian spacetime of the special theory of relativity, including its causal structure, the metric and Lorentz transformations"
VBHT3: The End of Galilean Relativity
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"An account of the experiments carried out in the 19th century that undermined the Newtonian description of space and time."
VBHT2: Coordinate and Proper Time
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"A careful discussion of two different meanings of time that coincide in Newtonian physics but that are different in relativity."
VBHT1: Newtonian Spacetime
added 2001 june 21 by Rich
VBHT
"An outline of the view of space and time before the development of the theories of relativity."
