Albert Einstein described Relativity as a "popular explosion" of his famous theory. Written in 1916, it introduced the lay audience to the remarkable perspective that had overturned theoretical physics. Einstein's genius was to express this perspective in understandable terms.

"Einstein's book is not casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, Relativity will prove a stimulating read." (Amazon.com review)

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not for me. It talks about this book being dumbed down for the average person and some parts are but it seems to me that I must be dumber than I think because the scientific content got above my head after the 1st hour or so mainly because it was moving so fast from concept to concept. I've always been interested in relativity and have read some short explanations that made much more sense of the theory than this book did. I think you need a decent amount of knowledge about the subject to be able to follow this unless you really slow it down and replay certain parts over and over.

Content was great, the narrator wasn’t as strong. Can make sections of the book difficult to get through.

Great Content - Not So Great Narrating

Either the reader or Einstein failed to mention that light is the byproduct of energy and it's not itself a physical product! You cannot use a byproduct as the main product of an equation.
It's flawed...

Confusing for the wrong reason.

I didn’t not realize how colorful and entertainingly engaging that Einstein was. Fascinating and educational.

Einstein writes in a very engaging way
