Relativitätstheorie · Geometrie und Erfahrung

DE · German

Einstein's two popular classics, read in full in the original German: his own walkthrough of the special and the general theory of relativity — no formulas, no prior training, just attention — followed by 'Geometrie und Erfahrung', his 1921 Berlin lecture in expanded form, on the question of how pure mathematics manages to describe the actual world. Read in a synthetic voice modeled on Einstein's original archival recordings, so the explanation sounds like the man himself. For anyone ready to finally hear Einstein teach his own theory, in the language he wrote it in. Long after the last chapter, one feeling remains: space and time are not what you grew up believing — and you heard Einstein himself explain why.
