Description

Albert Einstein's groundbreaking theories of Special and General Relativity have revolutionised our understanding of the universe. This graphic account explores how these ideas have shaped contemporary physics, from the thought experiments that led to a new vision of gravity as the curvature of space-time. The story unfolds through the contributions of key scientists, including Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking, who add their unique perspectives to Einstein's work. The book delves into the latest frontiers of physics, including black holes, gravitational waves, the accelerating universe, and string theory. By examining the evolution of our understanding of space-time and gravity, Introducing Relativity provides a visually accessible introduction to some of the most advanced concepts in modern physics.
