If you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier. As for the angles of a triangle, they do not always have to add up to 180 degrees. Travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be flattened thinner than a CD without feeling a thing-and live forever!
These are but a few of the extraordinary consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity. And then, of course, there are black holes. It is now over a hundred years since he made these discoveries, and yet the general public is still largely unaware of them.
Filled with illuminating anecdotes and fascinating accounts of experiments, this book aims to introduce the interested lay person to the subject of relativity in a way which is accessible and engaging and at the same time scientifically rigorous. With relatively few mathematical equations--nothing more complicated than the Pythagoras's
