 | What good is science fiction without starships? The original Star Frontiers treated space travel as a means to an end, not a source of adventure itself. In the Alpha Dawn game, your characters booked passage on starliners and mining vessels, were dropped off and had an appointment to rendezvous at a later time. Your character may have known how to fix a skimmer, drive a ground cycle, or navigate around on a planet??™s surface, but when it came to space, you needed help. But now your character has been around, built his reputation and skills. You have a pile of credits obtained through various (sometimes nefarious!) means. You??™re tired of waiting two weeks at layovers, looking for passage on the next ship that leaves port. You want your own starship. |

 | Book Description A modern self-contained introduction to key
topics in advanced general relativity. The opening chapter reviews the
subject, with strong emphasis on the geometric structures underlying
the theory. The next chapter discusses 2-component spinor theory, its
usefulness for describing zero-mass fields, its practical application
via Newman-Penrose formalism, together with examples and applications.
The subsequent chapter is an account of the asymptotic theory far from
a strong gravitational source, describing the mathematical theory by
which measurements of the far-field and gravitational radiation
emanating from a source can be used to describe the source itself. The
final chapter describes the natural characteristic initial value
problem, first in general terms, and then with particular emphasis for
relativity, concluding with its relation to Arnold's singularity
theory. Exercises are included. |
