Note
Whether it is true or not that not more than twelve persons in all the world are
able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a
constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. The
books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure
physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them. In order to
make a popular explanation of this far-reaching theory available, the present
book is published.
Professor Lorentz is credited by Einstein with sharing the development of his
theory. He is doubtless page 6better able than any other man-except the author
himself-to explain this scientific discovery.
The publishers wish to acknowledge their indebtedness to the New York Times,
The Review of Reviews and The Athenaeum for courteous permission to reprint
articles from their pages. Professor Lorentz's article appeared originally in The
Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant of November 19, 1919.
