It was first published in German in 1916 and later translated into English in 1920. It is divided into 3 parts, the first dealing with specialrelativityspecialrelativity ,the second dealing with general relativity general relativity and the third dealing with considerations on the universe as a whole. There have been many versions published since the original in 1916, the latest in December, 2011.
