What reading level is The Theory of Relativity And Its Influence On Scientific Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We go beyond Copernicus nowadays, and are not content with a visit to the sun. Why choose the sun rather than some other star in order to obtain an undis- torted view of things ? The astronomer now places himself so as to travel with the centre of gravity of the stellar universe, and is not even then quite satisfied. The physicist dreams of a land of Weissnichtwo, which shall be truly at rest in the ether. We realize the dis- tortion imported into the world of nature by the parochial standpoint... from which we observe it, and we try to place ourselves so as to eliminate this distortion so as to observe that which actually is. But it is a vain pursuit. Wherever we pitch our camera, the photograph is necessarily a two-dimensional picture distorted accord- ing to the laws of perspective ; it is never a true semblance of the building itself.
THE THEORY OF We must try another plan. I do not think we can ever eliminate altogether the human element in our conception of nature; but we can eliminate a particular human element, namely, this framework of space and time.
