There's another book I read that showed Einstein explaining his theory via a cartoon, as if to make it easier to understand. Not. Abstract math, theory, physics is never easy to comprehend, but at least some try to make it easier on the layperson. I never got my mind fully wrapped around the theory but close enough for horse shoes. And that's the important thing here. Not being able to go to MIT and explain it but understand it enough so that you can relate to it and relate it to others to see if all that relating is needed and necessary to your life / existence. Isn't that what it's all about? Hoky Poky!

Now that ive read this one, I feel a strong urge to revisit Stephen Hawking, Brian Greene, John Gribbin, Michio K and others
This book shd be a primer for all those who indulge in "recreational physics"

An attempt at a very fundamental introduction to Relativity Theory. Misses the mark sometimes but then, the subject is not easy to explain.

Probably the best primer to Einstein and relativity I've ever seen.
