Hello! I would like to find a book which covers the historical development of Quantum Mechanics from which I can learn which experiments lead to which discoveries. In lectures you usually only get taught formalisms, but I would really like to know how the theory was developed. Can you tell me...

I would like to get a detailed description, how the world looks for a moving observer in Special Relativity compared to the way it looks for an observer at rest. Do you know any reference, where I can find such a description? Can you maybe even tell me, where to find two pictures of the sights...

I would like to get a mathematically precise formulation of the Ehlers-Geren-Sachs theorem. I have heard that this theorem roughly tells us that the universe in total is described by a FLRW metric if there exists a set of fundamental observers, with respect to whom all observable properties of...

Hello everybody! I have some questions concerning the structure of the Schwarzschild metric, which is given by $$ ds^2=-(1- \frac{2GM}{r})dt^2+(1-\frac{2GM}{r})^{-1}dr^2+ r^2(d\theta^2+ \sin^2(\theta) d\phi^2) $$ where we set $c=1$. I would like to know the following: \\ \\ 1. Why is it...
