Re: Recommend a Newbie book to relativity ?

Since relativity is at the forefront of almost anything to do with space and
time.

I'd say to myself, I would just like to take a look at this relativity thing
with my own eyes and mind.

To get to know it.

And after that, who knows ...

:D

Thank you for your kind reply, it is much appreciated.
