Book summary
Relativity: The Special and the General Theory explains Albert Einstein’s famous theories of special and general relativity in a form meant for general readers rather than scientists. The book describes how space and time are connected, how the speed of light is constant, how motion affects measurements of time and length, and how gravity can be understood as the bending of space-time caused by massive objects. Using thought experiments and simple explanations instead of heavy mathematics, it helps readers understand how Einstein’s ideas changed modern physics and our view of the universe.
About the author
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist and one of the most influential scientists in history. He developed the theories of special and general relativity, which transformed understanding of space, time, energy, and gravity, and he also made major contributions to quantum theory. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the photoelectric effect. Known for both his scientific genius and his ability to explain complex ideas clearly, he wrote Relativity: The Special and the General Theory to make his revolutionary concepts understandable to non-specialist readers around the world.
