nydus/Relativity: The Special and General TheoryPublic

Albert Einstein provides a non-mathematical exposition of the special and general theories of relativity for readers interested in physics and philosophy. The text presents the core concepts in their original sequence and aims to explain the theories as simply as possible for those with a standard university-level education.
