I will commend you, just for naming Landau! 
That said I have no clue if Landau is very readable by the layman.. all I know of him, really, is second hand account from my physics teacher (when I was studying physics at uni)!

Thanks.
This is a book for kids. There are a number of illustrations, though all of it may not be understandable in one reading. Needs about two or three readings. The chapter on Capricious Clocks is very nice.

THANK YOU!!!
I read this as a boy in the 1990s and loved it, very glad to come across this again. My favourite part is the illustration of "Absolute State of Rest", page 25 I think. I've downloaded the epub and will try to read it on the phone.
Cheers,

yeah yeah Einstein's general relativity passes a bunch of tests if you ignore or make up fudge factors for those it fails.
Science is still so lost, by itself that's not so bad though...
... the saddest part is it's most lost and in constant arguments where it doesn't matter what the answers are, leaving questions that do matter unanswered.
Looking in the wrong place.

But if one consider egg and machine oil do not android make. Yet nobody deduced the origin of consciousness. Pretty simple though.

I think Euclid did a lot of harm to the understanding of geometry.
Nowadays, when people are introduced to string theory and geometries of ten or eleven dimensions, a couple of them circular, at the microscopic scale, they completely confused and bewildered. What is a "circular" dimension?
If the Phoenicians had been allowed to define our concept of geometry, we would have grown up with two large, circular dimensions, spanning the north/south and east/west of the oceans, and one "small" one, spanning the distance from the ship's keel to the top of the mast...

Because he failed to give you a hair of the dog that bit you?

Because he's already known as the catty-piller?

And if he had been in the army before that, would you refer to him as a vet vet?
