Book Review, Relativity: the Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein (Apple Book Store)

Trust me, it’s not a classic.  Science books tend to go away off and on over the years as improvements are made in our reasoning skills.  What I’m reviewing here is a rushed, poorly produced edition of Einstein’s work- there’s spelling errors all over the pages and the famous scientist’s biased opinion, in addition to his irrelevant excuses for thesis creation, will leave the audience pretty baffled.  I believe the audience for Einstein have been simply baffled through the years.  His theory on relativity is actually paradox because the lines written between its meanings won’t convey the true meanings possible for the words exercised over in a scientific blunder; he appears to support the idea of velocity and motion given into straight lines only and I’m wondering if he’s ever seen the oceans, on tides that seem to be everlasting and infinite without being so straight, or if he’s seen an artist create a painting, where brush strokes only make sense to the less-experienced painter.  An example is used throughout so much of the book: a train moving in a straight line.  Of course not everything in relative motion and velocity has anything to do with a straight line.  (For example, when I blow bubbles, the bubbles seem to float all over the place.  Is that a straight line?)  And what makes Einstein think a train relates to everything towards the speed of light?  We’re talking about a time when people had no space rockets for launching themselves into Mars or the Moon.  I’ll have to tell you something.  Even as a geek who loves technology and the reading of books on my computer I’ve found this edition from Apple to be ridiculous and easily broken since the equations won’t come up on the page when I need them, his theory of relativity is obscured in American vanity for Times Square, and, throughout the pages, language of his gets impossible to translate due to the secrecy of an important message- that is, the overhaul of classical mechanics and the introduction of a new equation of past equations.  When we consider the overhaul of classical mechanics, as his train example can make sense of, scientists are at an interesting task here.  Overhauling old theories and introducing new theories is common practice because humans make serious attempts at surviving in the universe.  It’s in our DNA, like corn in our stomachs.  So what I’m getting at here is that this book is filled with too many errors for our enjoyment and subtle, casual mode of reading.  Whoever published Einstein’s old work on the Apple Book Store should’ve taken better care at knowing and understanding the work itself.  You can take a look at this for free.  It’s public domain, although I’d say it’s really a headache.
