This is just one of the extraordinary consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity-and here is a look at the deeper science behind his groundbreaking ideas. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and fascinating accounts of experiments, this book gently introduces relativity in an accessible yet scientifically rigorous way.
