Theory Of Relativity - Audiobook by Albert Einstein

THEORY OF RELATIVITY By Albert Einstein Audiobook read by LibriVox Volunteers Genre: Non-fiction, Science Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). While best known for his mass energy equivalence formula E = mc2, he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect“. The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory. This is an introduction to Einstein s space-bending, time-stretching theory of Relativity, written by the master himself. Special and General relativity explain the structure of space time and provide a theory of gravitation, respectively. Einstein s theories shocked the world with their counterintuitive results, including the dissolution of absolute time. In this book he brings a simplified form of his profound
