内容简介

Unlike so many other supportive families, mine did not proof-read, or type this manuscript, or anything else. In fact they played absolutely mo part in the preparation of this book, and distracted me from it at every opportunity. They are not the slightest bit interested in physics and know nothing of relativity and quantum theory. Their lack of knowledge in these areas does not worry them at all. Furthermore they undermine one of the central tenets of the theory of relativity, by providing me with aunique frame of reference. Nonetheless, I would like to dedicate this book to them, Jo,Jessica, Susanna and Elizabeth.
