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.

Such an engaging read! This book tells the story of how Einstein developed his most famous theories and came upon his biggest breakthroughs. Even someone like me who struggles with math and science concepts can understand these theories in the way that they are described using real life examples and thought experiments. Well written and excellently narrated.
