"The theory of relativity is not merely a scientific development of
great importance in its own right. It is even more significant as
the first stage of a radical change in our basic concepts, which
began in physics, and which is spreading into other fields of
science, and indeed, even into a great deal of thinking outside of
science."
The opening lines of "The Special Theory of Relativity" show us
David Bohm's unique ability to bridge the worlds of theoretical
physics and the conceptual issues that underly science that gives
his writing meaning far beyond the scientific community.
Based on his famous final year undergraduate lectures on
theoretical physics at Birkbeck College, Bohm presents the theory
of relativity as a unified whole, making clear the reasons which
led to its adoption, and explaining its basic meaning. With clarity
and grace, he also reveals the limited truth of some of the "common
sense" assumptions which make it difficult for us to appreciate its
full implications.
