Are you ready to master Einstein’s Theory of Relativity fast through just 3 bizarre discoveries, even if you’ve got zero prior experience or training in the subject? Then keep reading...
But what does it all mean?
What are the basic ideas underneath the mathematics, explained in their simplest form?
Most people, unfortunately, were never taught how wonderful and spectacular Special and General Relativity truly is in school...
And the ones who do receive formal training are overwhelmed with advanced mathematics that only makes sense to a fraction of the population...
In this book, we will break through the confusion and reveal to you the most important ideas of Special and General Relativity, told through the amazing true story of just 3 bizarre discoveries – many of which resulted directly from Einstein’s wild imagination!
In Relativity For Beginners, The Special and the General Theory, you’ll discover:
- The hidden secrets of Space and Time.
- The solar eclipse that saved Einstein’s career.
- The true secret nature of light (it’s too strange to believe).
- How a playful riddle about a dead cat fundamentally changed our perception of reality itself.
- How time travel might work and the ONE thing that moves faster than light.
- Why Einstein’s old mathematics professor never believed in him (but gave him a boost anyway!).
- Why Newton got gravity wrong (and Einstein got it right!).
- How Einstein’s old college buddy you’ve never heard of helped him accomplish the masterpiece of his life.
- Einstein’s greatest regret (and what it means for our universe).
- The incredible real science of how to shrink objects.
- The #1 deadliest killer in our universe (and why we’re still alive).
- Einstein’s top-secret letter to President Roosevelt that helped the Allies win WWII.
- The real science behind worm holes, string theory, parallel universes, and the multiverse.
- How a genius you’ve never heard of took us to the brink of a Theory of Everything.
- And a whole lot more!
This book will immediately increase your understanding of Relativity in ways that a math book never could…
Even if you have no prior experience – the book starts with the assumption you know nothing about Relativity (yet).
Even if you are not “good at math” - the equations are explained in plain English.
Even if you don’t have the time - only the most impactful concepts are included with zero fluff.
Updated and expanded for 2025:
- Bonus 1 - Simulation Theory: Discover why some physicists are wondering if we're actually inside the Matrix.
- Bonus 2 - Fermi's Paradox: Where are all the Aliens? John Stoddard's answer will inform (and surprise) you.
- Bonus 3 - "Strange Facts" Historical Anecdotes: Ever wondered about the personal quirks, dramas, and squabbles of the world's greatest physicists? Find out here.
- Bonus 4 - Expanded Glossary: Key terms are highlighted throughout the text and listed in the Glossary for fun and easy learning.
- Bonus 5 - Expanded Equations List: All Equations are consolidated at the end of the text for convenient review to boost comprehension.
