Very good Good Fair Poor   Customer Reviews Author: Edward This is one of the best introductions to the concepts of relativity and quantum theory I have ever read. Not only does it have excellent nonmathmatical and easy to understand description of these areas of modern physics, but it has a interesting and funny story to move it along. It also includes a more technical description for those who are up to it(even the technical description is nothing too difficult, and also nonmathmatical, it can be skipped) Author: Hacibey This is very nice introduction into Modern Physics expecially for those who is interested in Physics in young age but does not have rigorous knowledge of mathematics or physical concepts to understand it or for those who knows it but can not explain it to a teenager. Concepts covered is Relativity and Quantum Mechanics where speed of light is reduced to very low valus or Planck constant is increased to managable levels. You can see the strangness in everyday experiences. Very fun to read or to give as a present to young future Physicist.
