Behaviour of clocks and measuring-rods on a rotating body of reference. 24. Euclidean and non-Euclidean continuum. 25. Gaussian co-ordinates. 26. The space-time continuum of the special theory of relativity considered as a Euclidean continuum. 27. The space-time continuum of the general theory of relativity is not a Euclidean continuum. 28.

Part III: Considerations on the Universe as a Whole: 30. Cosmological difficulties of Newton's theory. 31. The possibility of a 'finite' and yet 'unbounded' universe. 32. The structure of space according to the general theory of relativity. Appendixes. Bibliography. Index. World-renowned theoretical physicist Albert Einstein was highly interested in enlightening the theory of Relativity to people who were not particularly well-versed in higher mathematic concepts and theoretical physics. His answer to this was to write the ground-breaking work, "Relativity: The Special and General Theory." In the paper, Einstein lays out two contradictory principles: a principle of relativity and a principle of light. Einstein proposed that, rather than discarding these two principles for being conflicting, the rules of time and space should be completely revamped and rethought in order to find a way to make these two principles work in synchronization. Rather than just explaining his new proposal, though, Einstein writes exactly why these rules need to be altered by explaining the inaccuracies and inadequacies located within each of the current theories. Albert Einstein is best known for his work on the theory of Relativity, gaining him the title of "Father of Modern Physics." He also received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, and his work is attributed as an inspiration for the quantum theory within the field of physics.
