Ideas of Einstein's Theory

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The beginning of the twentieth century presented us with a scientific theory which quickly became celebrated all over the world: the Einstein Theory of Relativity. Whoever is interested in the evolution of mental progress will desire to know more of this theory, surrounded though it be by a mailcoat of mathematical formulae, that presents to every non-mathematician an apparent barrier to further investigation.<br><br>Such a truly great idea, however, which contains matter of interest to mankind at large, must be capable of being rendered clear and intelligible, without consisting solely of a maze of mathematical formulae. This certainly applies to the Theory of Relativity; all the essential traits of the theory can be made clear without the aid of mathematics to those who have a fair amount of geometrical training, and, in point of fact, a number of such popular expositions have already found their way into current literature.
