This book is a modern guide to understanding Einstein's theory of relativity. It is full of mathematical rigor, but emphasizes physical insight, motivation, and clarity of concepts and logic, rather than mere formalism or experimental detail. Includes over 300 thought-provoking problems. This second edition has been revised to take into account recent developments in relativistic cosmology, making it one of the most active and exciting branches of current research.
Wolfgang Rindler was an Austrian physicist studying general relativity. He is known for introducing the term "event horizon" for the boundary of a black hole, Rindler coordinates, and for the use of spinors in general relativity. An honorary member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and foreign member of the Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, he was also a prolific textbook author.
