Relativity Theory is a scientific explanation of the central ideas of general relativity for readers with modest backgrounds in mathematics and physics. The mathematical discussion is kept informal. Topics include the metric tensor, space dependent metric, four dimensional space, principles of GTR, Einstein's equations, Schwarzschild's solution, cosmological solutions, and relativistic astrophysics phenomena.

This monograph explains and analyzes the principles of a quantum-geometric framework for the unification of general relativity and quantum theory. By taking advantage of recent advances in areas like fibre and superfibre bundle theory, Krein spaces, gauge fields and groups, coherent states, etc., these principles can be consistently incorporated into a framework that can justifiably be said to provide the foundations for a quantum extrapolation of general relativity. This volume aims to present this approach in a way which places as much emphasis on fundamental physical ideas as on their precise mathematical implementation. References are also made to the ideas of Einstein, Bohr, Born, Dirac, Heisenberg and others, in order to set the work presented here in an appropriate historical context.
