Excerpt from Relativity and the Universe: A Popular Introduction Into Einstein's Theory of Space Time
While the first English edition of my little book, Das Weltbild der Relativitätstheorie, was in course of publication, it was found necessary to prepare a third German edition. However, since the text of the second edition, apart from the correction of a few minor errors, will remain practically unchanged there is no reason why the English translation should not be based upon it.
I have to express my thanks to Dr. Karl Wichmann for kindly offering me an opportunity of inserting the corrections mentioned. It would cause me much pleasure if this English edition should contribute to the great object of spreading, as widely as possible, a knowledge of the fundamental ideas of Einstein's theory of relativity.
