    Five Stars
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2015*

He explains this very difficult concept in a way the ordinary person can understand it.  It's very readable

    Relativity With Wit
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2009*

I think the best thing about this book is that it demands you never accept anything from anyone as absolute, not even from Einstein. Russell takes pains to explain what the theory of relativity is and what it means for you and our world while at the same time slowly destroying any concept of truth and reality that you may have. Which I suppose is what Einstein's theories, and quantum mechanics for that matter, do. Further, Russell makes you appreciate and understand the struggles of physics since Copernicus as "truth" is wrested from what we can observe and then represented as "laws" which may only be our best understanding eventually to be supplanted by even closer "truths". In the end Russell melds all this into philosophy, "What is matter?" he asks and in fact what is anything? The book bristles with wit as when discussing the u-bomb he thinks it's good for us that uranium can only explode at extremely high temperatures: "There is a further advantage: the supply of uranium in the planet is limited, and it might be feared that it would be used up before the human race were exterminated, but now that the practically unlimited supply of hydrogen can be utilised, there is considerable reason to hope that the race may put an end to itself, to the great advantage of such less ferocious animals as may survive". Priceless. Needless to say, I have now gone out to purchase more Russell books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Timeless classic
  

*by K***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2016*

I am always amazed at the way Russell manages to express difficult  concepts in a way that the layman can grasp and yet neither patronises nor bamboozles. He gets to the critical aspects without delay and carries the implications to their logical conclusions. This book shows how the passage of a century hasn't revealed any further understanding of Einstein's work that wasn't already apparent to the great minds of those early days. It reads very well and is a very satisfying. Bertrand Russell was probably the one who Eddington was trying to think of!
