That’s some impressive timing. My wife is usually impressed if I can estimate what time I will be home from work within 30 min.

Mine is issuing me progressive fines if i am over 30 mins late. +10EUR every time, so you are a lucky man.

P.S. I am on 110 EUR for next time :( stimulates my estimation accuracy.

Guys from NASA might have something similar.

Einstein knew his stuff...

The Special Theory is pretty straight forward, I do have problems understanding

the General Theory.  There is a good book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz  

called Four Lectures on Relativity and Space.  Don't know if it is available on Kindle.

It, and some of his lectures, are available on Project Gutenberg (free)

I was referring to the book by Steinmetz under the same name.

He gave a lecture (4) late 1922 early 1923 to groups of engineers.

They were "mathematicians" but not at the level of Einstein.  So

Charles attempted to explain all this.

I've looked through the text of the 4 lectures. You would have to be a practicing mathematician or physicist to get a lot out of them. It's been many years since I performed actual calculus calculations on real world problems (not classroom).

Einstein's book is a lot easier to get through. Some of it even sinks in, which is kind of scary :)
