About this listen

***#1 NEW RELEASE IN RELATIVITY PHYSICS ON AMAZON***
Are you ready to master Einstein’s Theory of Relativity fast through just 3 bizarre discoveries, even if you’ve got zero prior experience or training in the subject? Then keep reading...

When asked to explain Relativity simply, Albert Einstein himself once joked, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's Relativity.”

But when most normal people without advanced training attempt to study the subject seriously, they’re quickly weighed down by the mathematics…

Most people, unfortunately, were never taught how wonderful and spectacular Special and General Relativity truly is in school...

In this book, we will break through the confusion and reveal to you the most important ideas of Special and General Relativity, told through the amazing true story of just 3 bizarre discoveries – many of which resulted directly from Einstein’s wild imagination!

In Relativity For Beginners, The Special and the General Theory, you’ll discover:

  • The hidden secrets of Space and Time.
  • The solar eclipse that saved Einstein’s career.
  • The true secret nature of light (it’s too strange to believe).
  • How a playful riddle about a dead cat fundamentally changed our perception of reality itself.
  • The #1 deadliest killer in our universe (and why we're still alive).
  • Einstein’s top-secret letter to President Roosevelt that helped the Allies win WWII.
  • The real science behind worm holes, string theory, alternate realities, parallel universes, and the multiverse.
  • How a genius you’ve never heard of took us to the brink of a Theory of Everything.
  • And a whole lot more!

So if you're ready to master relativity fast (and in plain English), buy this audiobook now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing book! I, now, have a better understanding of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. This is a very cool and interesting book with Einstein's cool ideas, minus the confusing math stuff. Imagine Einstein's brain explained like a story you'd actually enjoy.

The book spill the beans on three mind-blowing discoveries. From a solar eclipse that saved Einstein's career to a riddle about a dead cat messing with reality. They even spill cosmic gossip, like Einstein's secret letter helping win WWII.

One cool part that I love is that it tackles time travel, and spill the secrets of light in a fun way. This book spills the cosmic knowledge. It also tells of a genius you've never heard who almost cracked the Theory of Everything.

If you're into the wild wonders of relativity without the headache of equations, this book is a must-read! I would highly recommend it!

I was looking for more science-based audiobooks that could make me think, and wow, this audiobook includes everything you need to know about Einsteins' theory of relativity. This is a mind-expanding audiobook that has left me truly in awe of how crazy Einstein must had been with all these theories. The audiobook is well narrated and extremely interesting (even if you know nothing about this theory like I did before listening). The standout chapter for me was chapter 9 - a must-listen chapter! Equally, every chapter was mindblowing and I want more! Highly recommended.

Fascinating!

I recommend this book to anyone who has always wanted to understand and grasp the Theory of Relativity, but found all other books and resources too complex. Here, the author uses clear-cut phrases and knowledge to help readers understand special and general relativity. As a student who struggled with multiple semesters of college physics due to being bogged down by the math, I wish I had this book back then to help explain the theories behind all the calculus a little more simply. This book brought my imagination back!

My fourth-grade teacher noted on my report card that "there is no love lost" for me in Mathematics. Needless to say, I never made it to a Physics class. Now and then, however, I still find something rooted in its theorems and formulas that I find fastening and fun. This book is one of those few things. For instance, the author explains how "time dilation" occurs all around us every day for anything in motion. That means if you're walking on the side of the road and a car passes you, time for the people in the car is passing slower than it is for you. It's just that at "normal" speeds, the difference is too minuscule to notice. That's Eienstein's Theory of Relativity in a nutshell. OK, it's way more complex and complicated than that, but the author effectively weaves the information into stories, anecdotes, and pieces of history to explain so well that it's easy to understand and fun to listen to. Ignore my fourth-grade teacher and take a math tip from me: Grab this audiobook and give it a listen. It will be the most fun you've had with math in a long time.

A Most Enlightening and Entertaining Book!

in my journey on learning about something so famious. I listened to a couple of samples of Einstein's theory of relativity, and the language used was unnecessary and overtly complicated, like the writer was more interested in showcasing their intellectual prowess, without a care for the reader undering or not.

This book was distinctly excellent in its delivery, breaking down what were seemingly complicated theories with practical real world language, a bit of maths formula thrown in, but light enough to keep the entire book interesting to the non-mathematician reader.

Relativity for Beginners: The Special and General Theory" was an enlightening listen. As someone revisiting the subject after a long time, I appreciated its simplicity and clarity. The audiobook breaks down Einstein's complex theories into understandable concepts, all in "plain English."

What I loved most was how it presents relativity not just as a scientific theory, but as a new lens through which to view life. It's a reminder that nothing is set in stone, which is both intriguing and humbling.

Ideal for beginners and those revisiting the topic, this audiobook makes learning about relativity enjoyable and thought-provoking. Highly recommended for a fresh perspective on our fascinating universe!

It's been a while since I learned about the Theory of Relativity in school, so I decided to give my brain a boost and read something interesting about it. This audiobook was a great choice for me as it was really fun to listen to as it made this complex subject accessible and genuinely fascinating.
If you're curious about this subject or missed learning about it in school, or maybe thought it was boring, or were deterred by its complexity, or whatever... this audiobook is for you.

It was great to entertain my rusty brain!
