"He was unfathomably profound - the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed."-"Time 

"He was...the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed." -- Time

'Much of the book is a delight.' - Stephen Battersby, New Scientist

'[Einstein] is a far better populariser of science than Stephen Hawking ... you'll feel as though you have a ringside seat at a revolution in human understanding.' - Guardian

Time's 'Man of the Century', Albert Einstein is the unquestioned founder of modern physics. His theory of relativity is the most important scientific idea of the modern era. In this short book Einstein explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of the theory which has shaped the world we live in today. Unsurpassed by any subsequent books on relativity, this remains the most popular and useful exposition of Einstein's immense contribution to human knowledge.

這本書由狹義相對論、廣義相對論、探索整個宇宙三部分構成。狹義相對論的兩個基本條件是：一、光速恆定原理；二、定律（尤其是光速不變定律）和所選擇的慣性系（狹義相對性原理）沒有關係。只有符合這兩個條件，所討論的內容才是有意義的；廣義相對論是在狹義相對論的基礎上發展起來的，它的假設是定律的不變性和四維連續區中的座標的非線性變換有着一定的聯繫，在這個前提下討論各種情況。在瞭解了狹義相對論和廣義相對論之後，將研究範疇擴展到整個宇宙空間中，並認為宇宙是有限且無界的。
