A Very Short Introduction: Relativity

About Product

• Einstein’s theory of relativity turned Newtonian physics upside down, replacing familiar ideas about space and time with bizarre, counterintuitive conclusions.
• If you move too fast, time slows down, space compresses, and in fact, you could be crushed to the ground without feeling a thing, and live forever.
• That’s what special relativity tells us. General relativity brought even stranger ideas about curved spacetime that changed our understanding of gravity and the universe.
