About this title

Synopsis:

Sir Arthur Eddington here formulates mathematically his conception of the world of physics derived from the theory of relativity. The argument is developed in a form which throws light on the origin and significance of the great laws of physics; its consequences are followed to the full extent in the consideration of gravitation, relativity, mechanics, space-time, electromagnetic phenomena and world geometry.

Review:

'A very brilliant and exciting book.' The Weekly Westminster Gazette

'A model of mathematical clarity and of careful scientific reasoning.' Times of India

'Admirably clear and concise throughout ... fully up to the high standard which Professor Eddington has led us to expect from him.' Observatory
