The Manga Guide to Relativity

The Manga Guide to Relativity

Everythingâ€™s gone screwy at Tagai Academy. When the headmaster forces Minagiâ€™s entire class to study Einsteinâ€™s theory of relativity over summer school, Minagi volunteers to go in their place. Thereâ€™s just one problem: Heâ€™s never even heard of relativity before! Luckily, Minagi has the plucky Miss Uraga to teach him.

Follow along with The Manga Guide to Relativity as Minagi learns about the non-intuitive laws that shape our universe. Before you know it, youâ€™ll master difficult concepts like inertial frames of reference, unified spacetime, and the equivalence principle. Youâ€™ll see how relativity affects modern astronomy and discover why GPS systems and other everyday technologies depend on Einsteinâ€™s extraordinary discovery.

The Manga Guide to Relativity also teaches you how to:
â€“Understand and use E = mc2, the worldâ€™s most famous equation
â€“Calculate the effects of time dilation using the Pythagorean theorem
â€“Understand classic thought experiments like the Twin Paradox, and see why length contracts and mass increases at relativistic speeds
â€“Grasp the underpinnings of Einsteinâ€™s special and general theories of relativity

If the idea of bending space and time really warps your brain, let The Manga Guide to Relativity straighten things out.
