Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958)
Autor von Relativitätstheorie
Über den Autor
Born in Switzerland, Wolfgang Pauli was the son of a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Vienna and godson of Ernst Mach. He was a child prodigy, writing an outstanding paper on the theory of relativity at age 19, and receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Munich in 1922. After mehr anzeigen further study with Niels Bohr and Max Born, Pauli taught at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, where he remained until his death in 1958. His discovery of the exclusion principle enabled Pauli to explain the structure of the periodic table of elements, formulate fundamental theories of electrical conductivity in metal, and investigate magnetic properties of matter. For this discovery, Pauli received the Nobel Prize in 1945. Pauli's second great accomplishment was resolving the "problem" of beta decay. In 1930 he addressed this question of the "missing energy" of electrons by suggesting that an emitted electron was accompanied by a neutral particle carrying an excess of energy. Pauli's intellectual ability was not matched by his manual dexterity; his colleagues laughed at the so-called Pauli effect, whereby accidents seemed to happen whenever he worked in the laboratory.

Theory of Relativity is split into five major parts. They are as follows.
In part I, Pauli begins by defining the History of the Special Theory of Relativity. You know, the one that states that the speed of light is constant in all reference frames and that the laws of physics are the same for all inertial systems. This section of the book also discusses the consequences of that idea, the Lorentz Contraction and time dilation. Although this part of the book does have some equations that use curl and div, not many of them are shown.
With part II, we are introduced to some mathematical tools to help us on our journey to understand relativity. This section introduces the idea of "space-time," a four-dimensional manifold that is our reality. So Pauli starts to talk about transformation groups and using tensor calculus for affine transformations. Pauli demonstrates the basic ideas of tensor algebra and how to use them to anticipate the final results we are trying to find and the ideas of Riemannian Geometry to account for space-time curvature.
Part III elaborates on the Special theory a little bit more, taking care to discuss Kinematics, Electrodynamics Mechanics, and Thermodynamics in a relativistic manner.
Part IV discusses the General Theory in all its glory.
Part V is called Theories on the Nature of Charged Elementary Particles.
In total, Theory of Relativity contains 499 equations, some of them with those old-timey German Script letters that I believe to relate to a field. It also contains a ton of notes which are further discussed at the end of the book.… (mehr)
