Albert Einstein, one of the most prolific scientists of the
twentieth century, developed the theory of relativity which was
crucial for the advancement of modern physics. Young Einstein
identified a paradox between Newtonian Mechanics and Maxwell's
equations which pointed to a flawed understanding of space and time
by the scientists of the day. In Relativity, Einstein presents his
findings using a minimal amount of mathematical language, but the
text can still be challenging for readers who lack an extensive
scientific background. The Routledge Guidebook to Einstein's
Relativity expands on and supplements this seminal text, by
exploring: the historical context of Einstein's work and the
background to his breakthroughs details of experimental
verification of special and general relativity the enduring legacy
of Einstein's theories and their implications for future scientific
breakthroughs. This is an essential introduction for students of
physics, philosophy and history in understanding the key elements
of the work and the importance of this classic text to society
today.
