Theory of Relativity for the Rest of Us but not for Dummies: Theory of Relativity Simplified

Rate this book
Does the theory of relativity have you confused? You’re certainly not alone. There’s a reason why scientific textbooks devote entire chapters (indeed, even entire books) to the concepts behind the theory of relativity. It’s a complicated subject. Or is it?

As you’ll learn in this book, that question, like all others, is relative to your point of reference. While this book will only scratch the surface of the theory of relativity, it should give you an easy to understand foundation upon which you can build an understanding of the theory of relativity.

Only scratches the surface.

Basic, basic, basic. If your beyond Junior High, don’t waste your time. Should include more on how the process continues to evolve and grow into General Relativity.
