Relativity: The Special and General Theory

著者 Albert Einstein · 37 章 · about 2 hours 33 minutes 読書時間

こんにちは、Finnです。この本を理解するお手伝いをします。

10歳の子に説明するように言うと、こうなります：

Albert Einstein には大胆な考えがありました。時間と空間は誰にとっても同じではない、というものです。とても速く動くと、あなたの時計は立っている友人の時計とは違う刻み方をし、何も光より速く進むことはできません。後に彼は、重力は実は空間そのものの曲がりだと言いました。この小さな本で Einstein は列車と時計を使って自分で説明します。最高の意味で、あなたの脳を曲げるでしょう。
