Friend asked for a similar list a while ago and I put this together. Would love to see people thoughts/feedback.
Very High Level Introductions:
Deeper Pop-sci Dives (probably in this order):
Blending the line between pop-sci and mathematical (these books are not meant to be read and put away but instead read, re-read and pondered):
One book that is both inexpensive and generally well received is Peter Collier's A Most Incomprehensible Thing: Notes Towards a Very Gentle Introduction to the Mathematics of Relativity.
I think this book by Collier. should match up relatively^haha well with what you're looking for.
If you have a have a math background up to ODEs and PDEs, this book is great. https://www.amazon.com/Most-Incomprehensible-Thing-Introduction-Mathematics/dp/0957389450/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1475030510&sr=1-1&keywords=a+most+incomprehensible+thing
Not sure about the other topics, but if you really want to learn about the science of time dilation, I would recommend checking out Brian Greene's free courses on Special Relativity (either the conceptual one or the really math-centered one) and perhaps A Most Incomprehensible Thing by Peter Collier (a math-centered book that can potentially take the layman from high school mathematics to the equations of General Relativity).
