Relativity (Abridged) Audiobook

" I read this during the summer of 1998 while working as a receptionist/admin assistant at Laird Plastics. "

" Amazing, Einstein's explanation for the lay reader of some of the most important scientific discoveries in centuries. "

" Wonderful description of Relativity by Einstein himself from a collection of his writings/papers. I remember reading this book with great joy (and some frustration.) The only major kink in it is Einstein's less-than-perfect English. While there are simpler introductions to Relativity out there, this one is one of the best purely because it comes straight from the man himself. "

" I read this back in my days as a Physics major. "

" Now if I read this book on a train stopped at a train station and god is playing dice on the platform, who is going to get that guy out of the floating box in space? And is my cursor moving across the page or am I moving across the cursor? Poor Lorentz--no wonder he couldn't figure this out. "

" Relativity changed the world as well as the way physicists viewed it. "

" I can't wrap my mind around the whole thing, but Einstein is surprisingly readable and humanistic. I really enjoyed the book. "

" Can't say I breezed through it, it can get a little dense. Definitely something everyone should read once though "

" I'm still trying to understand some equations in this book. I guess I'm still not completely understand the special and general theory!!!!uhm!.... "

" Definitely not an easy read, but worth the effort. "

" not the most fun book ive ever read but hey, it's einstein. it was a very quick read; maybe 4 hours. its mostly stuff you can learn on youtube nowadays. "

" It's that 10% smarter rule...and I am not 10% smarter than this book. Nevertheless I gained at least some small understanding of relativity though I am still hopelessly baffled by the math. "

" I listened to this and it was good, but it is better to read this. "

" highly readable, real-thing explanation of relativity. "

" Great book for those who wish to know more about Einstein's ideas and theories. A bit challenging, though... "

" It was very good. I didn't understand most of the mathematics, but some things, like the Lorentz transformation, were very interesting. All in all, a very good book. "

" So lucid, accessible and beautiful. "

" The Einstein Theory Of Relativity "

" This is the rare book that contains a layman's exposition of an advanced theory by the originator of that theory. It is very readable. One need only have a curious mind and high school algebra. "

" It is pretty dense, obviously, and I am glad I had my high school physics teacher explain the main ideas to me. This book changed science, and I am glad I was exposed to it. "

" Far to advanced for my primitive brain, although I did manage to grasp some of the ideas, I think! "

" when you finish it .. you should think again about the details its amazing but its quite difficult to understand it when you read it for the first time :) "

" I like physics "

" So yeah, it's soo interesting and brilliant... I just wasn't smart enough. I'm not gonna lie, Albert Einstein is a level above me. "

" Excellent book which introduces a reader into basics of Special and General Relativity. "
