SynopsisPerfect for those interested in physics but who are not physicists or mathematicians, this book makes relativity so simple that a child can understand it. By replacing equations with diagrams, the book allows non-specialist readers to fully understand the concepts in relativity without the slow, painful progress so often associated with a complicated scientific subject. It allows readers not only to know how relativity works, but also to intuitively understand it., Relativity Visualized is the "layman's" guide to relativity, using a highly illustrated and non-mathematical approach to describe accurately the Special and General Theories of Relativity.
