In his 'Principia' of 1687, Isaac The resultant radius of curvature is hence modified by a relativistic factor, which is rather difficult to express in simple terms. Relativity Simply Explained by Maritin Gardner. Einstein assumed that physical laws and the speed of light were invariant with speed. What is it he did that makes me know who he is? I'm revealing my latent nerdiness here, but this is a really neat little book for anyone that has ever been interested in Einstein i.e. However, the physical explanation of this behaviour of the planets came almost a century later when Sir Isaac Newton was able to deduce Kepler's laws from his laws of motion and his law of universal gravity, using his prior invention of calculus. Mineola, NY: Dover Publications, Inc. These are my notes/takeaways from the book (for quick future reference). Entry Filed under: I share your point of view of how an explanation must be done. Next time, we'll make use of space-time diagrams and the two postulates to derive consequences of special relativity using only simple geometry. I recently completed reading this book by Martin Gardner. After realizing in his Special Theory of Relativity that none of the universe's four dimensions (three of space and one of time) were indeed not quite so simple, Einstein began to assemble the pieces of the puzzle, realizing that gravity might be a direct Relativity: The Special and the General Theory - A clear Explanation that Anyone can Understand. Albert Einstein pursued another explanation of the problem in his 1905 paper on special relativity.
