The world of physics and the way the world was viewed no longer remained the same after Einstein. Though an integral part of scientific thought at present, his theory of relativity with a curved space and a slow moving time, was fabulous a hundred years back when it was first presented. Relativity has also been judged to be the most important scientific development in explaining the cosmos. In this book, Stephen Hawking has put together the highlights of Einstein's ideas of relativity and related concepts. The book is a collection of Einstein's works on the Theory of Relativity. Yet Einstein was known not only for his landmark ideas in physics. Here too are his reflections on politics and religion, and his musings on the ultimate significance of his scientific findings.
