Revolutionary and very profound book! Just as the Theory of Relativity insists that the laws of nature should be invariant (the same) for all observers regardless of their motion (special) or even acceleration (general). The book is reader-friendly and even entertaining at times in spite of the occasional complexity. The mathematics is bearable and very clearly presented, rarely overwhelming.
