Mach's Principle: From Newton's Bucket to Quantum Gravity Hardcover - 1995

by Julian B. Barbour (Editor); Herbert Pfister (Editor)


From the publisher

This volume is a collection of scholarly articles on the Mach Principle, the impact that this theory has had since the end of the 19th century, and its role in helping Einstein formulate the doctrine of general relativity. 20th-century physics is concerned with the concepts of time, space, motion, inertia and gravity. The documentation on all of these makes this book a reference for those who are interested in the history of science and the theory of general relativity

First line

This volume is based on the conference 'Mach's Principle: From Newton's Bucket to Quantum Gravity,' held July 26-30, 1993, at the Max-Planck-House in Tubingen, Germany.
