Einstein's Legacy : The Unity of Space and Time

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A Nobel Laureate relates the fascinating story of Einstein and the development of relativity theory. Eschewing technical terms in favor of ordinary language, this splendidly lucid and profusely illustrated volume is perfect for readers without a scientific background. Discussions include the meaning of time and the paradoxes of space travel at speeds close to that of light; gravity and its effect on light; non-Euclidean geometry and the curving of space-time; and the impact of radio astronomy and space-age discoveries upon Einstein's model of the universe. 189 black-and-white illus. Index.
