“…In this paper, we obtain the approximate value of 42.9815 arcsec/century for Mercury's perihelion precession by solving both numerically and analytically the nonlinear ordinary differential equation derived from the geodesic equation in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. We also compare our result with known results, and we illustrate graphically the way Mercury's perihelion moves. …”

“…He sends a plea for help to his former fellow student, the mathematician Marcel Grossmann (1878-1936), for he is in need of assistance with the mathematical calculations of his general theory of relativity. What then follows is one of the most fascinating chapters of science history, with far-reaching consequences for the lives of the two friends. …”

“…The twentieth century saw the birth and the development of new areas of physics which were unthinkable until then: the physics of the elementary particles or Particle Physics (further referred to as PP), the Quantum Mechanics (further referred to as QM) as well as the new Relativity Theory (further referred to as RT), that is, the Special and the General Theory of Relativity (SRT and GRT, respectively) They have deeply integrated our knowledge and have changed, probably permanently, our perception of reality. …”

“…The famous eclipse expedition of 1919 to Sobral, Brazil, and the island of Principe, in the Gulf of Guinea, led by Dyson, Eddington and Davidson was a turning point in the history of relativity, not only because of its importance as a test of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, but also because of the intense public interest which was aroused by the success of the expedition. …”

“…Mechanics is one of the oldest and at the same time newest disciplines, in the sense that there are methods and principles developed first in mechanics but now widely used in almost all branches of physics: electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, classical and quantum field theory, special and general theory of relativity, etc. More than that, there are some formalisms like Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches, which represent the key stone for the development of the above-mentioned disciplines. …”

“…The authors describe the spectacular progress made by physics during that time, which not only revealed a new form of matter, namely nuclei, but also modified our way of thinking by developing quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. The book is written in a clear and non mathematical language which makes it both accessible and instructive to laymen, physicists and students, as well as to historians of science. …”

“…Luminiferous aether—or "light-bearing aether," a theory first postulated by Isaac Newton in the 18th century, later refined by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century and ultimately replaced by Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity—is most simply defined as the medium for the propagation of light. …”
