Added to Einstein's text, which is from the 1920 English translation of his original in German, is analysis from three writers with expertise in relativity and Einstein's work. An 18-page introduction by Oxford University mathematics professor Roger Penrose explains the theory's place in the history of science and covers developments since Einstein's death. University of Chicago physicist Robert Geroch comments on the modern understanding of the theory, and David Cassidy This article is about David Cassidy the actor.
