The Speed of Light
The intersection of space and time Category : Natural sciences Jean Perdijon 55 illustrations Size : 17 x 19 cm/ Paper Cover 144 pages DésIris ISBN : 9782364032316 / 19,50 € Release date : Jun 16, 25 Rights availableThis book is not a study of ‘light' but a reflection on ‘the speed c'. From optics to electromagnetism, from relativity to quantum mechanics, the formulas of physics cannot do without the little c. Special relativity has shown just how special this speed is: it is linked to space-time to such an extent that its value is absolute, enormous and unsurpassable. These particularities deserve a more in-depth consideration.
