Book Description
Author Lea Deschenes' collection of honest, inquisitive poetry takes readers on a tour from the front steps in her native New England to uncharted jungles and beyond the edge of the universe, accompanied by Einstein, Marcus Aurelius and Rumi. Poetically, she balances precise craft with heartfelt meaning. From studies of a culture moving at the speed of light to meditations upon capital-L Love, The Constant Velocity of Trains finds its heart in relativity: the intersecting, interlocking, and often exasperating perspectives that make up reality. Lea Deschenes is flirting with perfection. It’s taken much too long for her words to reach a larger audience, an audience that’s been searching fruitlessly for what her work has always offered – bold glimpses of what exhilarates, frightens and moves us. -Patricia Smith, “Blood Dazzler” Lea Deschenes throws the well-aimed stone of her poetry through the glass houses of hypocrisy and human coldness... she is at all times intelligent, tender, and wedded to the quest for self-knowledge...There's wisdom at work, and at play, in this book. -Alicia Ostriker, “No Heaven" every poem feels entirely free to find its own voice, its own form. ...this latest volume adds an absolute precision in charting our emotional minefields; a wisdom and a surety of touch that make these poems utterly convincing. -Jack McCarthy, “Good Night”

The Elements of Relativity
Author: David M. Wittman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191633232
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Relativity has much to offer for a well-rounded education. Yet books on relativity either assume a strong background in physics and math, aimed at advanced physics students, or, alternatively, offer a broad description with little intellectual challenge. This book bridges the gap. It aims at readers with essentially no physics or math background, who still find it rewarding to think rigorously. The book takes a "thinking tools" approach, by first making readers comfortable with a new thinking tool and then applying it to learn more about how nature works. By the end of the book, readers will have collected a versatile toolbox and will be comfortable using the tools to think about and really understand the intriguing phenomena they may have only heard about, including the twin paradox, black holes, and time travel. End-of-chapter exercises span a range of difficulty, allowing adventurous readers to stretch their understanding further as desired. Students who have studied, or are studying, relativity at a more mathematical level will also find the book useful for a more conceptual understanding.

Paradox of the invariance of the speed of light
Author: Philippe de Bellescize
Publisher: Les Editions du Net
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
This book revisits Einstein’s postulate of the invariance of the speed of light, focusing on the corresponding train thought experiment. It shows how a close analysis of the supposed relativity of the simultaneity of light beam emissions brings us to the principle of the relativity of simultaneity at the physical level. However, in the objection about a spacecraft and a missile presented here, this principle turns out to be self-contradictory. The present logical and mathematical considerations are liable to challenge the validity of the second postulate of Special Relativity. Recognition of the results of this analysis could revolutionize our conception of spacetime.
