Spacetime, Geometry, Cosmology
Spacetime, Geometry, Cosmology by William L. Burke is a reprint edition published by Courier Dover Publications on December 16, 2020. This 352-page work presents a novel interpretation of the relationship between space, time, and gravitation, focusing on the author’s discovery of the “Burke Potential.” This concept addresses previously overlooked aspects of gravitation that have implications for cosmology and entropy measurements.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of geometric language and ideas that are crucial to modern theoretical physics. The book includes numerous examples and applications, with nearly every section concluding with a selection of problems to enhance understanding. It is intended for graduate-level educators and students with a background in linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and special relativity, making it a valuable resource in the fields of physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
Official synopsis Publisher
This novel interpretation of the relationship between space, time, and gravitation and its cosmological implications is based on the author’s discovery of a small but significant value in gravitation that was overlooked by both Newton and Einstein. Dubbed the “Burke Potential,” it resolved an issue with gravitation measurements and rates of entropy related to the discovery of a time-varying part of the local gravitational field.
The treatment provides many examples and applications to the geometric language and ideas that are essential to modern theoretical physics. Nearly every section concludes with a selection of problems. Prerequisites include a familiarity with linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and special relativity.
For graduate-level educators and students in physics, relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology.
