Demystifying General Relativity, Spacetime Curvature, and Gravity for General Readers

Science journalist Nigel Calder presents an accessible guide to Albert Einstein's revolutionary theories of special and general relativity. Commemorating the centenary of Einstein's birth, Calder explains how gravity warps spacetime, how light bends around massive cosmic bodies, and how atomic clocks measure time dilation.

Utilizing clear thought experiments and astronomical observations, the book illustrates the physics behind black holes, expanding space, and modern cosmology without requiring complex mathematics.
