Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein
"Relativity: The Special and General Theory" by Albert Einstein is a popular science book published in German in 1916. Einstein wrote it to explain his revolutionary theories of relativity to readers without advanced mathematical training. The book explores special relativity, general relativity, and cosmology through thought experiments involving trains, light rays, and moving observers. It demonstrates how fundamental concepts like time, simultaneity, and mass-energy are not absolute but depend on one's frame
of reference, challenging centuries of assumptions about the nature of space and time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
