Publisher's Synopsis
The Theory of Relativity is a book written by L. Silberstein in 1914 that provides a comprehensive explanation of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which covers the principles of special relativity, including the concepts of time dilation and length contraction. The second part delves into the general theory of relativity, which explains the nature of gravity and the curvature of spacetime. The final part discusses the implications of relativity for the fields of physics and cosmology, including the possibility of time travel and the structure of the universe. Silberstein's book is considered to be one of the most accessible and thorough explanations of Einstein's theory of relativity, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
