Space, Time, Matter

Space, Time, Matter is a philosophical treatise written by the German mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl. The book deals with the fundamental concepts of space, time, and matter, and their interrelationships. Weyl explores the implications of the theory of relativity, which had been developed by Albert Einstein a few years earlier, and the impact it had on our understanding of the universe.The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of the subject matter. The first part focuses on the concept of space and its relation to geometry. Weyl argues that space is not an absolute entity but rather a relative one that depends on the observer's perspective. He also discusses the nature of space-time and the concept of curvature.The second part of the book deals with the concept of time and its relation to physics. Weyl explores the implications of the theory of relativity on our understanding of time and the concept of simultaneity. He also discusses the nature of causality and the role it plays in the universe.The final part of the book deals with the concept of matter and its relation to energy. Weyl explores the nature of matter and the role it plays in the universe. He also discusses the concept of wave-particle duality and the implications it has for our understanding of the physical world.Overall, Space, Time, Matter is a groundbreaking work that explores the fundamental concepts of the universe and their interrelationships. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science and the nature of the universe.This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
