In this video, I will present the central problem in physics that led to the emergence of the Theory of Relativity. I'm going to talk about why Relativity became necessary for Physics, a confrontation between Galileo's rigorous Principle of Relativity and Maxwell's unquestionable Equations.

Pirani also coordinated the 1985 edition, after the author's death. It was this last revised version that was used in this series.
