Relativity: The Special and General Theory

par Albert Einstein · 37 parties · about 2 hours 33 minutes de lecture

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

Albert Einstein eut une idée folle: le temps et l'espace ne sont pas les mêmes pour tout le monde. Si tu te déplaces très vite, ton horloge avance différemment de celle d'un ami immobile, et rien ne peut aller plus vite que la lumière. Plus tard, il dit que la gravité est en fait l'espace lui-même qui se courbe. Dans ce petit livre, Einstein l'explique lui-même avec des trains et des horloges. Il te courbera le cerveau, de la meilleure façon.
