Publisher’s hardcover, enlarged format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1979 collection of articles is a compelling testament to the intellectual range of Vitaly Ginzburg (1916–2009), a Nobel Prize laureate and one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century. Published by \"Nauka\" at a time when General Relativity (GR) was undergoing a renaissance due to new astronomical discoveries, the book serves as both a high-level scientific review and a philosophical reflection on the nature of space and time.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is structurally unique, blending rigorous technical papers with accessible essays. Ginzburg addresses some of the most provocative questions of the era, including the possibility of superluminal (faster-than-light) radiation sources and the precise experimental verification of Einstein’s predictions. As a pioneer in radio astronomy, Ginzburg provides a particularly sharp analysis of how gravitational effects manifest in the cosmos, from the behavior of pulsars to the large-scale structure of the universe.\u003cbr\u003eA significant portion of the book is dedicated to Relativistic Cosmology. Ginzburg discusses the evolution of the Universe, the Big Bang theory, and the role of general relativity in understanding black holes and singularities. Beyond the math, Ginzburg—ever the vocal advocate for scientific clarity—dives into the history of the theory’s development and its philosophical impact, challenging common misconceptions and emphasizing the logical beauty of the relativistic worldview.\u003cbr\u003eThis hardcover edition, featuring a portrait of the author, is a staple for any serious library of theoretical physics. It captures the voice of a scientist who was as comfortable at the cutting edge of pulsar research as he was explaining the curvature of space to a student. For the historian of Soviet science, it represents the pinnacle of academic publishing in the late 70s—erudite, comprehensive, and profoundly visionary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963229208618,"sku":"EB-306643657703","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_de4d9f7b-ea52-4dc6-94de-e96be1b51012.jpg?v=1768162779","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%b3%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b7%d0%b1%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b3-%d0%be-%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%b8-%d0%be%d1%82%d0%bd%d0%be%d1%81%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%bd%d0%be%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b8-1979-ginzburg-on-the-theory-of-relativity","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
