Verdict: Duh . . .

You'll remember, loyal reader, that a week or so ago I embarked on a journey to read a book written by Albert Einstein meant to help the layman understand general and special relativity.

The verdict is in: Duh . . . 


I tried. I really tried.

Some of the concepts I recognized, such as relative motion over great, great distances making the speed of light "speed up" or "slow down" based on the perspective of the observer. I also recognized the idea that gravity bends light, and a few other things as well.

But when the book contains things that look like this, well . . . 


I'm certain if I really buckled down and studied I could get Ds in algebra all over again.

I'm such an Einstein.
