«An Equation That Changed the World» is Harald Fritzsch's essay, published by University of Chicago Press in hardback (300 pages, in English).
Physicist Harald Fritzsch imagines a meeting between Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and a modern physicist to discuss space and time. Following the style of Galileo's dialogue, they trace the origins of relativity, explain how it works and show how it revolutionised the view of the physical world, culminating in E=mc².
The subtitle is «Newton, Einstein, and the Theory of Relativity». The translation from German is by Karin Heusch and the original title is «Eine Formel verändert die Welt».
For readers interested in the history of science and physics: an introduction to relativity without advanced mathematical knowledge.
Harald Fritzsch was a German theoretical physicist known for his contributions to the theory of quarks, the development of quantum chromodynamics and the grand unification of the Standard Model of particle physics.
