Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Russell wrote The ABC of Relativity in 1925, twenty years after Einstein's miracle year and ten years after general relativity — for the educated reader who wanted to actually understand what Einstein had done. Russell was perhaps the most lucid English-language explainer of his century. He walks the listener through space and time, what light is, what mass is, what gravity actually is once you stop thinking of it as a force, and what the universe might be shaped like. The math is gentle. The prose is dry, witty, and patient. There is no shorter or kinder route into the strangest physics ever published. Duration - 5h 37m. Author - Bertrand Russell. Narrator - Digital Voice Arthur E. Published Date - Sunday, 25 January 2026. Copyright - © 1925 Bertrand Russell ©.
