About this book

This account of Einstein's relativity by Bertrand Russell, written for readers without mathematics, appeared in Harper's Modern Science Series. He starts from the way we judge distance by touch and sight.

The chapters then move from the velocity of light and clocks and foot rules to space-time, the special theory, Einstein's law of gravitation and its proofs, and mass, momentum and energy. Later chapters ask whether the universe is finite, what matter is and what the abolition of force means, ending with philosophical consequences. Russell, who also wrote The Principles of Mathematics, treats the subject as a change of imagination.
