This
book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity
about how people, animals, things, images and empty space move leads to many
adventures. This volume presents the best of them in the domains of fast,
intense and distant motion: relativity and cosmology.
This note provides an informal introduction to that beautiful and amazingly
accurate theory of gravity called general relativity. The goal is to explain the
basic equation in this theory - Einstein's equation - with a minimum of fuss and
muss.
