Features: This book introduces the basic knowledge of relativity. The first half covers special relativity, primarily explaining relativistic time dilation and length contraction, followed by an introduction to relativistic velocity transformation and energy. The second half discusses general relativity, focusing on the principle that acceleration and gravity are equivalent, thus space and time are curved by mass. The book concludes with an overview of the development and prospects of the universe. The content is practical and the language is clear and engaging. The entire book blends scientific rigor, knowledge, and, making it a valuable popular science read for a broad audience, especially young people.
