The Routledge Guidebook to Einstein's Relativity

Beschreibung

Albert Einstein, one of the most prolific scientists of the nineteenth century developed the Theory of Relativity which was crucial for the advancement of modern physics. Young Einstein identified a paradox between Newtonian Mechanics and Maxwell's equations which pointed to a flawed understanding of space and time by the Scientists of the day. In Relativity, Einstein presents his findings using a minimal amount of Mathematical language, but the text can still be challenging for readers who lack an extensive scientific background.
