The Einstein Theory of Space-Time without Mathematics

This is a new monograph by the Ghanaian philosopher, Samuel K. K. Blankson, who gave us "The Metaphysical Foundation For Physics". In less than a hundred pages, and without mathematics, he launches a blistering attack on Herman Minkowski, the foremost mathematical interpreter of Einstein's theory of Space-Time. He explains that space-time is a philosophical concept and that mathematicians are ill-equipped to interpret it properly, and gives his own interpretation of space-time as 'relation between points'. The book is written in plain language, and aimed at the intelligent general reader. There is no doubt that if Blankson is right then mathematicians have a major problem on their hands.
