Aimed at both physics students and non-science majors, this unique book explains Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. The diagrams guide the reader, step-by-step, from the basics of relativity to advanced topics including the addition of velocities, Lorentz contraction, time dilation, twin paradox, Doppler shift, and Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. The distinctive figures throughout the book enable the reader to visualise the theory in a way that cannot be fully conveyed through equations alone.
