4. Chapter 4In your schooldays most of you who read this book made acquaintance with the noble building of Euclid’s geometry, and you remember—perhaps with more respect than love—the magnif...
5. Chapter 5The basal principle, which was the pivot of all our previous considerations, was the _special_ principle of relativity, _i.e._ the principle of the physical relativity of all _u...
6. Chapter 6Part from the difficulty discussed in Section XXI, there is a second fundamental difficulty attending classical celestial mechanics, which, to the best of my knowledge, was firs...
