Book Description | The main focus of this volume is the question: is spacetime nothing more than a mathematical space (which describes the evolution in time of the ordinary three-dimensional world) or is it a mathematical model of a real four-dimensional world with time entirely given as the fourth dimension? The book contains fourteen invited papers which either directly address the main question of the nature of spacetime or explore issues related to it. |
Editorial Review | From the reviews: "... It is thanks to the physicist and philosopher Vesselin Petkov ... like no other that it is possible to keep the space-time problem in the discussion. In keeping with the centenary of the Minkowski speech, he has published a volume, in which 18 high-carat authors tackle the problem of the 'Relativity and the Dimensionality of the World' from different perspectives. Whoever wants to read deeper into the topic cannot avoid this book ... "(in: The Science Fiction Year 2008 , 2008, p. 780 f.) |
