Relativity
ByPublisher Description
Robert Geroch builds on Einstein's work with commentary that addresses the ideas at the heart of the theory, bringing a modern understanding of relativity to the text. He elucidates how special relativity is a reconciliation of the contradictions between the nature of light and the principle of relativity; he expands on Einstein's treatment of the geometry of space-time and the fundamental notion of an "event"; he explains in detail, but without technical language, the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass, a cornerstone of general relativity.

“I couldn’t understand any of the math he was talking about and proving.. but I do believe I understood at least the core of the concepts he was explaining. It wasn’t the easiest book to understand and it took me several rereads of passages and annotating and looking up definitions and theorems, but it’s short enough that I made it through. I’ll reread it after I get my physics degree and see if it makes completely new sense.”
