What Is Relativity? – An Intuitive Introduction to Einstein′s Ideas and Why They Matter

Autor Jeffrey Bennett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2014
It is common knowledge that if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole, it would suck Earth and the rest of the planets into oblivion. Yet as bestselling author and astrophysicist Jeffrey Bennett points out, black holes don¿t suck. With that simple idea in hand, Bennett begins an entertaining introduction to Einstein¿s theories, describing the amazing phenomena readers would actually experience if they took a trip through a black hole.
