Nathalie Deruelle is a researcher in Theoretical Physics and Director Research at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in France. She is based at Laboratoire Astroparticules & Cosmologie (APC) at Université Paris VII (Denis-Diderot) and is affiliated professor at the Kyoto Yukawa Institute. Deruelle has lectured at numerous summer schools and universities, including the École Polytechnique and the École Normale Supérieure.Jean-Philippe Uzan is a researcher in Theoretical Physics and Director of Research at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in France. He is currently member of the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP) at Université Paris VI (Sorbonne Université). Uzan has taught at several Paris universities, including the École Normale Supérieure, and has published specialized and popular books in physics and cosmology.

a very rich book: All notions like relativity, space and time are carefully explained, their history is mentioned by giving plenty of footnotes. The mathematical side, the experimental side, and the view of the theoretical physicist are presented adequately at the respective places.
