The Einstein Theory of Relativity

Lorentz's work laid important groundwork, but I wonder what motivated his focus on these concepts and how it influenced Einstein's later breakthroughs.

Understanding the scientific debates and discoveries of that era really adds depth for me. Did reading this alter how others see the development of relativity?

Some parts felt dense, but I’m curious if it’s suitable for someone without a deep physics background or if it’s mainly for specialists.
