The articles integrated during this quantity characterize a wide and hugely certified view at the current country of normal relativity, quantum gravity, and their cosmological and astrophysical implications. As such, it will possibly function a precious resource of information and proposal for specialists in those fields, in addition to a sophisticated resource of data for younger researchers.
The get together to collect jointly such a lot of top specialists within the box was once to rejoice the centenary of Einstein's remain in Prague in 1911-1912. It used to be actually in the course of his remain in Prague that Einstein all started in earnest to improve his rules approximately basic relativity that absolutely built in his paper in 1915.
Approaching quickly the centenary of his recognized paper, this quantity bargains a useful evaluate of the trail performed through the medical group during this interesting and colourful box within the final century, defining the demanding situations of the subsequent a hundred years.
The content material is split into 4 extensive components: (i) Gravity and Prague, (ii) Classical normal Relativity, (iii) Cosmology and Quantum Gravity, and (iv) Numerical Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics.
