Maggiori informazioni sul libro

From the pioneering efforts of Galileo and others in determining the speed of light to Albert Einstein's development of his Unified Field Theory, this book explains relativity in clear and simple terms, with a minimum of technical language and mathematical equations. Professor James A. Coleman, a theoretical physicist, analyzes the theory in its historical and experimental context. He includes an elementary treatment of the basic theory of atomic and hydrogen bombs and discusses some of the discoveries we may expect to see in the near future.
