The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time

Herausgeber: Landshoff, Peter

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This 1973 book discusses Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and its two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself.
