Physics - My First Book of Relativity (My First Book of Science)

Description

Book Synopsis: It's never too early to start exploring big ideas. This companion volume to My First Book of Quantum Physics introduces complex science to children through bright illustrations and amusing text. Einstein's theory of relativity is one of the cornerstones of modern physics but it requires a total rethink of our notions of time and space. Strange things happen in a relative universe: length and time are not fixed and depend upon your frame of reference. If you move at high speed, time slows down, space contracts and weight increases. So a period of time for someone on Earth that lasts for hundreds of years may only be a couple of hours for someone travelling in a rocket close to the speed of light. It's mind-boggling stuff, but the theory of relativity has a real impact on our world today. A car's GPS navigation system, for example, uses information received from orbiting satellites and is designed to account for the fact that time ticks at a different rate on these satellites than it does on the ground. Without allowing for relativity's effects, after just a day, your whereabouts according to GPS could be up to 8km from your actual location. So to find out more about how our universe works and how space and time are connected, look no further than this fascinating, illustrated guide to relativity.

Unlock the mysteries of the universe with My First Book of Relativity (My First Book of Science). This captivating companion volume to My First Book of Quantum Physics will take your child on an exciting journey into the world of complex science. Through vibrant illustrations and engaging text, they will discover how Einstein’s theory of relativity reshapes our understanding of time and space.

Imagine a universe where time is not fixed and length is relative. In this mind-bending realm, moving at high speeds can make time slow down while space contracts. Weight can even increase! It's an extraordinary concept to wrap your head around, but the theory of relativity has real-life applications in our modern world.

Take, for instance, your car's GPS navigation system. Without accounting for the effects of relativity, a simple day of driving could result in your whereabouts being up to 8km off! That's why satellites in orbit communicate with GPS to ensure accurate positioning based on the different rates at which time ticks in space and on Earth.

With this fascinating and beautifully illustrated guide, your child will delve into the intricacies of relativity and discover the profound connections between space and time. It’s never too early to ignite a passion for science, so start them on their journey of exploration today!
