Albert Einstein–the father of modern physics proposed the theory of relativity. Even today, scientists find evidence supporting his theories while conducting research with advanced equipment.
He wrote this book “to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics.”
While the theory of relativity enriched astronomy and physics during the 20th century, technology today is getting ahead because of Einstein. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory caters to those interested in understanding the conceptual basics of scientific and technological advancements that Einstein proposed, in simple terms.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a renowned theoretical physicist and one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. He was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Einstein's early years were marked by academic excellence and a deep curiosity about the natural world. He studied physics and mathematics at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, where he later obtained his doctorate in 1905 with a groundbreaking dissertation on the dimensions of molecules. This same year, often referred to as his "miracle year," Einstein published four influential papers, including his theory of special relativity and the famous equation E=mc^2, which describes the equivalence of mass and energy.
