Though, its consequences leave us with unexpected results in kinematics, dynamics and, to a lesser extent, in electrodynamics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe introduce the theory of relativity including geometry and chronology, from the view of a local observer who encounters aberration and Doppler shift. The description of motion in Minkowski spacetime requires a careful distinction between different operational concepts of measuring time and space intervals, leading e.g. to the distinction of different velocities for the same process. The consequences in Newtonian dynamics, such as the obsolete relativistic mass, or in Maxwellian electrodynamics, the emergence of magnetic fields, are discussed in the light of experimental evidence. The final chapter discusses predictions for relativistic space flight. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe material in \"Radical Relativity\" is a careful exposition of all the concepts and phrases that change with different paradigms. It is an unusual approach to spacetime that opens up new insights and deeper understanding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e_Heinz Blatter is Professor at ETH Zurich since 1999. He completed his studies in physics with a\u003cbr\u003ediploma thesis (equiv. to MSc) on \"Spin correlation in Fermions\" at the Department of Physics, ETH, \u003cbr\u003eZurich in 1972. The work for his doctoral thesis at ETH Zurich on the thermodynamics of polar\u003cbr\u003eglaciers included field work in 1974\/75 in the Canadian high arctic. His current research interests are\u003cbr\u003ethe numerical modelling of the physics of Alpine glaciers, with a focus on their future evolution, and\u003cbr\u003eice sheets, with a focus on glacial cycles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e_Thomas Greber obtained his PhD at ETH Z?rich on Two Aspects concerning 4f impurities on metals in\u003cbr\u003e1990.
