This book, suitable for interested post-16 school pupils or
undergraduates looking for a supplement to their course text,
develops our modern view of space-time and its implications in the
theories of gravity and cosmology. While aspects of this topic are
inevitably abstract, the book seeks to ground thinking in
observational and experimental evidence where possible. In
addition, some of Einstein's philosophical thoughts are explored
and contrasted with our modern views. Written in an accessible yet
rigorous style, Jonathan Allday, a highly accomplished writer,
brings his trademark clarity and engagement to these fascinating
subjects, which underpin so much of modern physics. Features:
Restricted use of advanced mathematics, making the book suitable
for post-16 students and undergraduates Contains discussions of key
modern developments in quantum gravity, and the latest developments
in the field, including results from the Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Accompanied by appendices on
the CRC Press website featuring detailed mathematical arguments for
key derivations
