Literature References and Further Information on Part III
摘要
With Special Relativity Theory, it is similar to mechanics: There are a multitude of books on it, especially popular science presentations. In this category two books are recommended here. One is by Einstein himself: The Special and General Theory [7], which first appeared in 1916 and has become the standard work of generally understandable introductions over the years. The book comes with very few formulas (e.g., the Lorentz transformations are derived with simple means) and describes in everyday language the physical basics of both theories of relativity.
