The theory of relativity describes the laws of physics in a given
space-time. However, a physical theory must provide observational
predictions expressed in terms of measurements, which are the
outcome of practical experiments and observations. Ideal for
readers with a mathematical background and a basic knowledge of
relativity, this book will help readers understand the physics
behind the mathematical formalism of the theory of relativity. It
explores the informative power of the theory of relativity, and
highlights its uses in space physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
Readers are given the tools to pick out from the mathematical
formalism those quantities that have physical meaning and which can
therefore be the result of a measurement. The book considers the
complications that arise through the interpretation of a
measurement, which is dependent on the observer who performs it.
Specific examples of this are given to highlight the awkwardness of
the problem.
