Relativity

The Special and General Theory
Summary:

The book introduces the core concepts of the special theory of relativity, explaining the physics of moving bodies and the equivalence of mass and energy, then extends these ideas to the general theory of relativity, which deals with gravity and the curvature of spacetime. It aims to make these revolutionary scientific theories accessible to a general audience without requiring advanced mathematical knowledge.

Key points:

1. Principle of Relativity: Physics laws apply the same in all inertial frames, meaning motion and rest are relative to the observer. This is the basis of Einstein's special relativity theory.
