These questions traverse the history of modern physics from Galileo to Einstein. The answers involved Galilean relativity, Newton’s absolute space, the purely relational concepts of Descartes, Leibniz, and Mach, and many forgotten uses of relativity principles in mechanics, optics, and electrodynamics – until the relativity theories of Poincaré, Einstein, Minkowksi, and Laue radically redefined space and time to satisfy universal kinds of relativity.

Table contents:

1:Rethinking motion in the seventeenth century
2:Deriving Newton’s second law from relativity principles
3:The space-time-inertia tangle
4:The optics of moving bodies
5:The electrodynamics of moving bodies
6:Poincaré’s relativity theory
7:The relativity theory of Einstein, Minkowski, and Laue
8:From Riemann to Ricci
9:Mostly Einstein: To general relativity
10:Mesh and measure in early general relativity
11:Epilogue
