Description
Written for the curious, Of Warpings in Space and Time outlines Einstein's Theory of Relativity in a clear and crisp manner to be understood by a wide audience that has never had a course in physics. The book introduces Special Relativity and discusses the historical significance of the theory, examining the scientists whose experiments laid the groundwork for Relativity. Abstract concepts - including the constant nature of light, simultaneity, time dilation and length contraction - are explained on both conceptual and mathematical levels. In the explanation of General Relativity, the writing builds to the warping of spacetime itself in the discussion of acceleration, the Schwarzschild Metrics, descriptions of the shape of space and the confounding prospect of black holes as well as the possibility of an unbound yet finite universe. The book includes scientific evidence and experiments that validate the Theory of Relativity. This exciting work presents complex concepts in refreshingly simple terms.
