Learning the physics of Einstein with Georges Lemaitrebefore the big bang theory /[electronic resource] :by Georges Lemaitre ; edited by Jan Govaerts, Jean-Francois Stoffel. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xxvi, 243 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface by the volume editors -- The Physics of Einstein by Georges Lemaitre (1922): The Historical Context -- An Invitation to Further Reading -- The Physics of Einstein: Introduction -- Space and Time -- Force Fields -- Field Production by Relative Motion -- Graviation -- Electric Charges -- La Physique d'Einstein - French version edited from the original manuscript -- La correspondance entre Georges Lemaitre et Maurice Alliaume.

This book presents the first translation into English of the treatise The Physics of Einstein completed by the young Georges Lemaitre in 1922, only six years after the publication of Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity. It includes a historical introduction and a historical critical edition of the original treatise in French supplemented by the author's own later additions and corrections. Monsignor Georges Lemaitre can be considered the founder of the "Big Bang Theory" and a visionary architect of modern Cosmology. The scientific community is only beginning to take in the full measure of the legacy of this towering figure of 20th century physics. Against the best advice of the great names of his day, the young Lemaitre was convinced, solely through the study of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, that space and time must have had a beginning with a tremendous "Big Bang" from a "quantum primeval atom" that produced an ever-expanding Universe with a positive cosmological constant. But how did the young Lemaitre, essentially on his own, come to grips with the physics of Einstein? A year before his ordination as a diocesan priest, the young Lemaitre submitted an audacious dissertation that was to earn him Fellowships to study at Cambridge, MIT and Harvard, and launched him on a scientific path of ground-breaking discoveries. Almost a century after Lemaitre's seminal publications of 1927 and 1931, this highly pedagogical treatise is still of timely interest to young minds and remains of great value from a history of science perspective. The original French manuscript as well as the recently discovered additions are preserved in the Georges Lemaitre Archives at l'Universite catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
