| Summary |
According to David Mermin, relativity should be an important part of everyone's education because, after all, it's largely a matter of time, a topic everyone knows well! The book reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are wrong and that the real nature of time discovered by Einstein can be rigorously explained without advanced mathematics. This book is the result of more than thirty years of teaching experience with non-scientific students. |
