This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of
physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions
and consequences of Einstein's pathbreaking achievements that
sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time,
radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity.
Particular attention is paid to the implications of conceptual
conflicts for scientific views of the world at large, thus
providing the basis for a comparison of the demise of the
mechanical worldview at the turn of the 20th century with the
challenges presented by cosmology at the turn of the 21st century.
Throughout the work, Einstein's contributions are not seen in
isolation but instead set into the wider intellectual context of
dealing with the problem of gravitation in the twilight of
classical physics; the investigation of the historical development
is carried out with a number of epistemological questions in mind,
concerning, in particular, the transformation process of knowledge
associated with the changing worldviews of physics.
