Description

Based on his famous final year undergraduate lectures on theoretical physics at Birkbeck College, David Bohm presents in this volume, the theory of relativity as a unified whole, making clear the reasons which led to its adoption and explaining its basic meaning. He also reveals the limited truth of some of the "common sense" assumptions which make it difficult for us to appreciate its full implications.

Author Biography:

David Bohm (1917-1992). A close colleague of Einstein's at Princeton University after World War II, Bohm would himself go on to become one of the great physicists of the twentieth century. Persecuted for his radical politics during the era of the McCarthy hearings, he left the US in 1952 to teach first in Brazil and then in the UK. Popular Science/Physics/Philosophy
