relativity (physics)

Explains the principles of relativity, profiling leading minds such as Albert Einstein, Brian Greene, and Stephen Hawking to simplify their theories on time dilation, extra dimensions, and relative motion.

Discusses recent discoveries in physics and cosmology to explore a range of multiverse proposals, and examines how the knowledge that some aspects of reality may lie beyond human comprehension might affect scientific progress.

Draws from Albert Einstein's personal letters to tell his life story and examine his way of thinking, exploring his methods of questioning the world and showing how this shaped his politics and morality.

Physicist Michio Kaku explains how Albert Einstein saw the world, explaining how two simple mental images led to two of his most important discoveries and how his later ideas came to scientific fruition after his lifetime.

Explores the concept of time and space in relation to physics.

Photographs and illustrations help explain the theory of relativity, discussing the relationships between time, space, and light and describing how scientists use the theories of relativity to study the universe.

A simple explanation of relativity originally presented as part of a Student Science Seminar program at the Maryland Academy of Sciences.

Contains seven scientific essays that address topics of extreme physics, including black holes, inconstant constants, the String Theory, and more.

Describes how Albert Einstein revolutionized the world's understanding of physics when he published his theories of relativity in the early 1900s.

Presents a collection of anecdotes and personal histories describing the Big Bang theory of how the universe came to be and explains why some scientists believe it and why some have fought against it.
