About this title

Synopsis

This book, published for the centenary of Einstein's birth, explains the salient ideas of relativity in plain language, taking full advantage of the latest research and the clear light that now shines upon such previously impenetrable concepts as warped space, time out of joint and the astounding energy hidden in ordinary matter.

From the Inside Flap

This brilliantly written book unlocks the astounding implications of Einstein's revolutionary theories on the nature of science, time and motion. It far surpasses any previous explanation of Relativity for laymen.
