Title: Chto takoe teorii︠a︡ otnositelʹnosti
First published: 1960
Description: Here two Russian theoretical physicists give a lighthearted presentation of the special theory of relativity. It is so simply written that the reader needs no technical knowledge beyond arithmetic. Their witty text, illustrated by a series of Russian cartoons, explains the paradoxes of relativity--its funny trains, contracting rulers, and capricious clocks--in a charming way.
Subjects: Relativity (Physics), Cyclitols
