Présentation de l'éditeur

The Theory of Relativity may very well prove to be the most important single contribution yet made to intellectual thought. If the theory is true it means nothing less than that physical science has at length broken through the crust of the phenomenal and apparent. The mechanism of nature is to be sought in something as yet conceivable only mathematically.

It is not to be expected that a theory of this novelty and scope can be other than difficult. No one can be surprised if he finds the general drift hard to grasp. This was indeed by far the most serious difficulty encountered by the writer. It is nothing but literal fact that he found it a greater obstacle to a general understanding of the subject than the details of the advanced mathematical work. Try as he would the drift eluded him. The main, almost the sole, object of the present book is to meet this difficulty, all other considerations being subordinate.
