Einstein's theory of relativity represents an elegant bridge into modern physics. Despite its philosophical and mathematical beauty, it represents the cornerstone of all subsequent developments in science. In this book, David Bohm provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the special theory of relativity. An explanation reads by the specialist, which illuminates forgotten aspects that were considered the root of the idea. The non-specialist can read it and gently see how the construction of modern physics began. The usefulness of this book does not stop at the detailed explanation of the scientific and mathematical marvels in the special theory of relativity, but rather goes beyond it for a more precise understanding of the philosophy of science itself, and the way in which our ideas have developed. This book is considered one of the most specialized books in the field of physics that gave careful attention to the concept of (intuition) or intuition based on the human sciences, thus setting foot on this abandoned path between physics and the human sciences. David Bohm, the author of this book, is an American scientist who is considered one of the most important theoretical physicists of the twentieth century. He was one of the scientists participating in the Manhattan Project. He has written many books in the field of theoretical physics and the philosophy of science. He has made many contributions with his unconventional ideas in the fields of quantum theory and psychology. Neuroscience and philosophy of mind.
