Introduction to Einstein
Leído por James R. Hedrick
It is the purpose of this booklet therefore, to bring within the scope of visualization, as nearly as possible, the very essence of relativity, and to state its principles in terms devoid of unfamiliar phrases and illustrations. The popular mind is not satisfied with vague statements, mathematical equations and formulæ. It calls for an explanation in words of every day usage, and where a technical term must be employed then a definition of that term in language simple and lucid. To meet these requirements without sacrificing scientific accuracy has been the earnest endeavor of the author. - Summary by William F. Hudgings
Narrator’s note: This book has been read as written although it contains several factual errors, e.g.: confusing photons with electrons and using an incomplete formula for acceleration due to gravity.
