Relativity: The Special and General Theory
Relativity: The Special and General Theory | Albert Einstein
How better to learn the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity than directly from their creator, Albert Einstein himself? In Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math (nothing more complex than high-school algebra). Einstein's book is not casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, Relativity will prove a stimulating read. "The present book is intended," Einstein wrote in 1916, "as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics."

One of the gifts my parents gave me this year was marked with a tag that said they thought they might have given it to me last year. I opened it and found these two books: the one on the left they did give me last year and the one of the right I bought myself last year!! This is what comes of leaving books at my family‘s house 🤣

I always wondered if Einstein ever had those light bulb moments. 🤔

I like this book because it really comprehends the concept of relativity, yet it does so in a way that is concise and logical. Thinking about physics is hard, because the subject matter is incredibly idiotic. Yet Einstein manages to distill the main points of the world around us into formula's that form the basis of physics. When we think about the success that Einstein has had, it may be wondered if he ever found what makes it all hang together.

On #25th November 1915 Albert Einstein first presented the field equations of general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, paving the way for modern scientific understanding #twentyfive #25 #novemberbythenumbers

Laura317 That is a fabulous photo! And just so you know, if you accidentally put a period instead of a pace between That is, you get a crazy meme. (edited) 7y
