Relativity: The Special and General Theory
Book • 1920
This book, written by Albert Einstein, aims to provide an accessible explanation of the special and general theories of relativity.
It is divided into three parts: the first part deals with special relativity, the second with general relativity, and the third discusses considerations on the universe as a whole.
Einstein's intention was to present these complex theories in a simplified manner, using minimal mathematics and formal language, making it accessible to a broader audience.
The book includes appendices and experimental confirmations of the general theory of relativity.
