9 Ž. Mijajlović, N. Pejović, V. Radović First Serbian works on Theory of Relativity May 16, /12 Theory of relativity Teorija relativiteta - popularno naučna skica (Theory of relativity, a popular-scientific sketch) General audience He glorifies mathematics often and compare it to the highest men s achievements. Part 1. Special theory of relativity, pages Part 2. General theory of relativity, pages He discussed also relation between the general theory of relativity and cosmology. He explains that the universe occupies a closed but unbounded space. As an application of the theory he deduced a formula of the size of the universe which depends only on the density ρ of the matter in the universe.
