Relativity: The Special and General Theory

Focusing on the theory of relativity, this book offers a clear understanding for readers interested in its scientific and philosophical implications without requiring advanced mathematics. It is structured into three parts: the special theory, which explores elementary particle physics; the general theory, addressing gravity and its interactions with other forces; and a broader discussion on the universe. The text highlights the historical context of Einstein's work, which aimed to reconcile inconsistencies between the two theories, ultimately earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics.
