Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein

Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein is a groundbreaking exploration of the universe's fundamental principles. Written for non-experts, the book introduces Einstein's revolutionary ideas about space, time, and gravity. The Special Theory explains how time and space are interwoven, influenced by the speed of light, while the General Theory expands on this, describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. Accessible yet profound, this work forever changed our understanding of the cosmos and remains a cornerstone of modern physics — Summary by Dream AudioBooks
