THE HIDDEN REALITIES Of Einstein’s Radical Laws on the Universe & Cosmos (Special Nook Edition) Albert Einstein Nook - Theory of Relativity Quantum Mechanics Black Holes Physics The Hidden Reality & Space Time Explained by Albert Einstein NOOKbook
FROM THE PREFACE
This book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard of education corresponding to that of a university matriculation examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amount of patience and force of will on the part of the reader. The main ideas are presented in the simplest and most intelligible form, and on the whole, in the sequence and connection in which they actually originated.
OVERVIEW
What are Einstein's Radical Laws on the Universe and Cosmos? What are the hidden realities that they reveal about the physical world? What are the implications of these profound ideas on us and our lives today? This series of writing by the great professor Einstein seeks to address many of these questions for the general reader.
