What reading level is Sidelights On Relativity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But inertial resistance opposed to relative acceleration ofdistant masses presupposes action at a distance; and as the modernphysicist does not believe that he may accept this action ata distance, he comes back once more, if he follows Mach, to theether, which has to serve as medium for the effects of inertia. Butthis conception of the ether to which we are led by Mach's way ofthinking differs essentially from the ether as conceived by Newton, by Fresnel, and by Lorentz. Mach's ether not only _...conditions_ thebehaviour of inert masses, but _is also conditioned_ in its stateby them.
Mach's idea finds its full development in the ether of the generaltheory of relativity. According to this theory the metricalqualities of the continuum of space-time differ in the environmentof different points of space-time, and are partly conditioned by thematter existing outside of the territory under consideration. Thisspace-time variability of the reciprocal relations of the standardsof space and time, or, perhaps, the recognition of the fact that"empty space" in its physical relation is neither homogeneous norisotropic, compelling us to describe its state by ten functions (thegravitation potentials g_(mn)), has, I think, finally disposed ofthe view that space is physically empty.
