Relativity

The Special and the General Theory
Summary:

The book provides an accessible introduction to the theory of relativity, explaining the concepts of time, space, and gravity in a way that is understandable to readers without an advanced background in physics. It covers both the special theory, which deals with objects moving at constant speeds in a straight line, and the general theory, which extends these ideas to include acceleration and gravitation.

Key points:

1. Principle of Relativity: Einstein's theory states that all physics laws apply equally in all inertial frames, meaning there's no absolute rest and all motion is relative. This led to the conclusion that light speed is constant for all observers.
