Whether it is true or not that not more than 12 persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. The books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them. In order to make a popular explanation of this far-reaching theory available, the present book was written.

Editorial reviews

H. A. Lorentz was a Dutch physicist and Nobel Prize winner whose transformation equations were later used by Albert Einstein to describe space and time. Despite his intimidating credentials, Lorentz managed to write a book on Einstein's theory that anyone with basic scientific knowledge will understand. Building on this accessibility, narrator Brian Troxell's performance has the informal quality of a friendly discussion rather than the stiffness of a lecture. While Lorentz doesn't cover the theory in great detail, listeners will leave with a basic understanding of the theory and the experiments used to validate it.

I consider myself an intelligent person, not a genius, just average intelligence. This sounds way over my head.

I'm lost, lol

This theory has been very useful for human history and science. As all common knowledge it will be surpassed by many other theories.

It explains the theory in the most simple way

This was very impressive! I enjoyed listening to it a lot. I feel like I have a much better understanding about the theory now.

Nice

No bias here. Just consumed the book but cannot remember not recall a memorable moment…

This is a great summary of one of physics greatest achievements. Lorentz highlights the pertinent common sense points made by Einstein.
