What reading level is Essays in Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not that I have an exaggerated notion of the importance of my own efforts, but to write the history of other men’s work demands a degree of absorption in other people’s ideas which is much more in the line of the trained historian; to throw light on one’s own earlier thinking appears incomparably easier. Here one has an immense advantage over everybody else, and one ought not to leave the opportunity unused out of modesty.
When, by the special theory of relativity I had arrived at the equivalenc...e of all so-called inertial systems for the formulation of natural laws (1905), the question whether there was not a further equivalence of co-ordinate systems followed naturally, to say the least of it. To put it in another way, if only a relative meaning can be attached to the concept of velocity, ought we nevertheless to persevere in treating acceleration as an absolute concept?
From the purely kinematic point of view there was no doubt about the relativity of all motions whatever; but physically speaking, the inertial system seemed to occupy a privileged position, which made the use of co-ordinate systems moving in other ways appear artificial.
