The relativity that includes the two physical theories — special relativity and general relativity — developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century changed the human worldview regarding the basic concepts of physics — time, space, mass, and energy. Since its publication it has been translated into several languages, even earlier, and only in 1923 was it first translated into Yiddish, about a year after Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics. The source used to translate this edition is the 1920 Braunschweig edition.
