Inhaltsangabe

This unique book explains Einstein's special theory of relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. It maintains the logic and rigor necessary for physics students, yet is simple enough to be understood by non-scientists. The book also contains entertaining problems which challenge the reader's understanding of the materials covered.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'... well written and entertaining ... For those who are non-mathematically minded, it is all you need to gain a good understanding of Einstein's special theory of relativity. For those who like a good equation, it's still a great companion.' CERN Courier (cerncourier.com)

'... I have never seen such an original guide for newcomers in science ... It is clear that Professor Takeuchi is ... a skilled artist in his own way.' Contemporary Physics
