Relativity Explained ( without maths ): Behind the curtain of reality

Relativity Explained is unique, a complete yet straightforward explanation of relativity written by a layman for laymen, without maths. It does not make leaps in explanations nor assumptions about prior knowledge, and yet it provides readers with more than a glimpse of relativity's universe-shattering insights.

Relativity Explained has been reviewed by Professor Elias Brinks of the Centre for Astrophysics Research at the University of Hertfordshire, who says, “From my first reading, I was impressed with the level of clarity Ron managed to bring to this conceptually difficult topic. Not only did I find little that was factually incorrect, I admit that some of the ways he used to approach relativity were new to me, and revealing.”

The physics of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics (also briefly covered in this book) have laid bare just how large is the gap between our evolution-constrained senses and the way the universe is actually built and works. Relativity Explained describes the underpinnings of this revolution, enabling readers to share in the surprises that lie 'Behind the curtain of reality'.

The book has been designed in every respect to be an easy read. It is relatively short, rich in diagrams and quotes, and it also engages readers with further explorations into relativity’s wider impact on human thought, in philosophy, culture and society.

The completed book has been road-tested with non-scientists, popular science readers and student physicists, and revised accordingly to ensure it is as accessible as possible.
