everything you always wanted to know about the theory of relativity (but were afraid to ask)
Over the last week I had the pleasure of reading an exposition by ol' Al "two socks" Einstein of his famous theory of relativity.
You can purchase it here for a low price.
I've actually only read the first half which covers the "special" theory. It's surprisingly easy to understand, and interesting, and fun, and I don't even like physics. Not one bit.
Sure, it's obsolete now, but who hasn't really wanted to "get" e = mc^2? No one? NOT YOU!

I don't know if it's "obsolete."
I had the pleasure of seeing yet another PBS show about String theory. They really just churn those things out.
The whole idea is to brige the gap between what Steiny wrote and quantum mechanics.
The best part about string theory is that it's impossible to prove wrong. "No experiment or observation could ever be made."
Then again that means you can't prove it's correct. But we all know where the burden of proof lies.
