The relativity

He turned Einstein's theory of relativity upside down for Newtonian physicist; replacing familiar ideas about space and time with strange and illogical conclusions; so if you move at high speed, time slows down, space compresses, and in fact, your body could be completely crushed without you feeling anything and you could live forever. This is what special relativity tells us; while general relativity brought even stranger ideas about curved spacetime, changing our understanding of gravity and the universe. And this short, reliable, and entertaining introduction makes it easier to understand and grasp this theory; by using the least amount of mathematics, the author explains the important concepts of relativity and explores its impact on science and our understanding of the universe.
