Qu'est-ce que la relativité ?

Synopsis of Qu'est-ce que la relativité ?

«Qu'est-ce que la relativité ?», by François Vannucci, is a popular science essay published by Editions le Pommier in paperback (64 pages).

The book addresses Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and explains the role light plays in it, how to understand space-time, and what the equation E=mc² means. Vannucci shows how the equivalence between energy and mass, mediated by the speed of light, transformed the vision of the universe and allowed cosmology to be rethought.

This is a French-language edition in the Les Petites Pommes du Savoir collection, published in 2005.

Recommended for readers aged 10 to 12 interested in science and physics, as an introduction to the theory of relativity.
