About The Book
This unique book presents a visually engaging approach to understanding special relativity. Tevian Dray encourages readers to move beyond formulas to appreciate the deeper structure of Einstein's groundbreaking theory. Special relativity’s unification of space and time, although counterintuitive, forms the cornerstone of modern scientific understanding.
The book uses the geometry of hyperbolas as the key to understanding the theory, simplifying the formulas and emphasizing their geometric content. Several fundamental relations, including the famous relativistic addition formula for velocities, are derived directly from hyperbolic trigonometric formulas.
The second edition expands on the treatment of Minkowski space and spacetime diagrams and includes new topics such as a geometric derivation of Lorentz transformations and three-dimensional spacetime diagrams. The chapter on electromagnetism has been updated to assume more advanced knowledge.
