Description

Introduction to Special RelativityBy the year 1900, most of physics seemed to be encompassed in the two great theories of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. Unfortunately, there were inconsistencies between the two theories that seemed irreconcilable. Although many physicists struggled with the problem, it took the genius of Einstein to see that the inconsistencies were concerned not merely with mechanics and electromagnetism, but with our most elementary

By the year 1900, most of physics seemed to be encompassed in the two great theories of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. Unfortunately, there were inconsistencies between the two theories that seemed irreconcilable. Although many physicists struggled with the problem, it took the genius of Einstein to see that the inconsistencies were concerned not merely with mechanics and electromagnetism, but with our most elementary ideas of space and time. In the special theory of relativity, Einstein resolved these difficulties and profoundly altered our conception of the physical universe.
Readers looking for a concise, well-written explanation of one of the most important theories in modern physics need search no further than this lucid undergraduate-level text. Replete with examples that make it especially suitable for self-study, the book assumes only a knowledge of algebra. Topics include classical relativity and the relativity postulate, time dilation, the twin paradox, momentum and energy, particles of zero mass, electric and magnetic fields and forces, and more.

Exceptional
Size: 22, Size: 22
Great quality and price. Monitors are exceptional. Would buy again without question. Screens are quite resilient, great picture. I bought three and use them in a multi Monitor setup for my work laptop, I needed something to view wireing diagrams and scan tool information qt the same time. If your a Service Technician looking for a multi Monitor set up would strongly recommend this Monitor.

Great product and great price
Size: 22
I think the negative thing I can highlight is the pixel dentist isn’t that high so it doesn’t look as crisp but this is a great budget option when you are in a hurry (like me) or simply need a screen that does its job. I use it for home office and it’s more than enough.

Works for what u pay
Size: 22
Only reason it’s not a 5star is bc I’m picky it doesn’t have any speakers first of all so don’t go thinking there’s sound refresh rate is what you would think for this price it runs games super well and has decent quality easy to use and pretty bright as well it’s not a curved monitor so the viewing is pretty normal
