Description

When asked to explain Relativity simply, Albert Einstein himself once joked, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's Relativity.” But when most normal people without advanced training attempt to study the subject seriously, they’re quickly repelled by ,mathematics which would take months to finish, let alone understand... But what does it all mean? What are the basic ideas underneath the mathematics, explained in their simplest form? Most people, unfortunately, were never taught how wonderful and spectacular Special and General Relativity truly is in school... And the ones who do receive formal training are overwhelmed with advanced mathematics that only makes sense to a fraction of the population... In this book, we will break through the confusion and reveal to you the most important ideas of Special and General Relativity, told through the amazing true story of just 3 bizarre discoveries – many of which resulted directly from Einstein’s wild imagination!
