There is no lack of current interest in this little book, written by an original, witty
person. For it shows, on one hand, a mind that is critical toward the obsolete con-
cept of
time;[2]
on the other hand, it shows the peculiar consequences from which
the theory of relativity, which so often is being charged precisely for the bizarre na-
ture of its consequences, saves
us.[3]
A. Einstein.
