Albert Einstein, one of the most prolific scientists of the twentieth century, developed the theory of relativity which was crucial for the advancement of modern physics. Young Einstein identified a paradox between Newtonian Mechanics and Maxwell-s equations which pointed to a flawed understanding of space and time by the scientists of the day. In Relativity, Einstein presents his findings using a minimal amount of mathematical language, but the text can still be challenging for readers who lack an extensive scientific background.
The Routledge Guidebook to Einstein-s Relativity expands on and supplements this seminal text, by exploring:
- the historical context of Einstein-s work and the background to his breakthroughs
- details of experimental verification of special and general relativity
- the enduring legacy of Einstein-s theories and their implications for future scientific breakthroughs.
This is an essential intro
