A readable and entertaining look at how Einstein's special theory of
relativity gives us a new understanding of the nature of time
Relativity ought to be an important part of everyone's education. Its
subject is time, with which we all think we are familiar. Einstein's
special theory of relativity reveals that some of our most intuitive
notions about time are shockingly wrong. This clear, lively, and
informal exposition of special relativity takes a highly original
approach to introduce readers to the true nature of time. It is
accessible to anyone who remembers a little high school algebra and
elementary geometry. It's About Time offers deep insights to curious
readers who have no technical scientific background.
