The second chapter discusses Fin de siècle physics the third deals with Einstein’s path to the Special Theory of Relativity and Henri Poincaré’s Dynamics of the Electron the fourth focuses on the genesis of the General Theory of Relativity the fifth chapter centralizes on Einstein’s methodology and creativity, and on Poincaré’s philosophy and the final section analyses the sources used in compiling this book. The discovery of the relativistic center of mass in this book thus demonstrates once again the usefulness of the study of Einsteins special theory of. The first chapter provides a narrative of Einstein’s early life until 1914 without resorting to hagiography. The book encompasses an in-depth historiographical analysis of Einstein’s theory of relativity and Einstein’s own derivations and philosophical perspectives of his work. Amongst these may be mentioned: The Special Theory of Relativity, Inertia of Energy, Theory of the Brownian Movement, and the Quantum-Law of the Emission and Absorption of Light (1905). This second edition brings together the most recent studies regarding the discovery of Special Relativity between 18 and pertaining to the genesis of General Relativity between 19. The main ideas involved in the most important of Einstein’s theories date back to this period. This book is a comprehensive monograph on Albert Einstein’s Odyssey to Special and General Relativity.
