商品描述

This book provides a lively and visual introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity. It brings to life the excitement of this fascinating subject, for an audience including young people at school (post-16) and the general public with an interest in modern physics. It is different from existing books in that is uses many diagrams and simple equations (the reader is carefully guided through them), and richly rewards the reader with beautiful mathematical and physical insights. It begins by introducing spacetime, in the familiar context of low velocities. It then shows how Einstein's theory forces us to understand time in a new way. Paradoxes and puzzles are introduced and resolved, and the book culminates in a thorough unfolding of the relation between mass and energy. The book draws on the author's many years of experience in writing articles and reviews for a non-expert readership, and presenting physics to school pupils.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書生動且視覺化地介紹了愛因斯坦的相對論。它為包括中學(16歲以上)學生和對現代物理感興趣的公眾在內的讀者帶來了這一迷人主題的興奮感。與現有書籍不同的是,它使用了許多圖表和簡單的方程式(讀者會被仔細引導),並豐富地回報讀者以美麗的數學和物理見解。書中首先介紹了時空,並在低速的熟悉背景下進行。接著,它展示了愛因斯坦的理論如何迫使我們以新的方式理解時間。書中引入並解決了悖論和謎題,最終深入探討了質量與能量之間的關係。這本書基於作者多年為非專業讀者撰寫文章和評論的經驗,以及向中學生介紹物理的經歷。
