Introducing Relativity : A Graphic Guide - Thryft

Visual voyage through Einstein's revolutionary concepts.

If you've ever been intrigued by the mysteries and complexities of Einstein's Theory of Relativity but felt deterred by the daunting mathematics, this graphic guide is your ticket to understanding. It simplifies the challenging concepts with visuals, making the quantum leaps in physics since Einstein's era not just comprehensible, but also enjoyable. The illustrations breathe life into the abstract, turning the dense topics into an engaging journey that's as enlightening as it is entertaining.

Description

It is now more than a century since Einstein's theories of Special and General Relativity began to revolutionize our view of the universe. Beginning near the speed of light and proceeding to explorations of space-time and curved spaces, "Introducing Relativity" plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics. Scientists from Newton to Hawking add their unique contributions to this story, as we encounter Einstein's astounding vision of gravity as the curvature of space-time and arrive at the breathtakingly beautiful field equations. Einstein's legacy is reviewed in the most advanced frontiers of physics today - black holes, gravitational waves, the accelerating universe and string theory. This is a superlative, fascinating graphic account of Einstein's strange world and how his legacy has been built upon since.
