Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a non-technical and introductory look at the theories of relativity which changed our understanding of space, time, and motion. By presenting the substance of a scientific lecture, the author seeks to share insights from the works of Einstein and other scientific giants who helped shape our understanding of these concepts. The book covers topics like the differences between Galilean and Einsteinian mechanics and the implications of the theory for the existence of other frames of references in the universe. Also explored is the evolution of the theory of relativity from its early mechanical foundations to the general principle of relativity.
