Books on Einstein and his theories abound. However, this book is uniquely different. It presents key concepts in Special and General Relativity, in verse form. The aim is to make Einstein's insights more fun to learn. It uses rhyme and rhythm to render reading memorable and thus pleasurable. Moreover, what is pleasurable may foster a better understanding, as well as retention, of ideas. Use of verse apparently worked effectively in ancient times: in the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer among the Greeks; in the Vedas and Upanishads of ancient India; both rhyme, in the form of alliteration, and rhythm in Beowulf among the Anglo-Saxons, etc. The target reader is college-educated, or college student in third year, or anyone willing to puzzle it out, who desires to understand why time slows down and lengths contract when objects are in relative motion; how Science, Einstein's theories in particular, can contribute to answering the perennial question: what it is to be human; how to time travel to the future by staying young; etc. Relativity has a reputation of being difficult. For example, curvature of spacetime seems so abstruse, so forbidding a concept. But, do not disarm yourself prematurely. Do not be intimidated. As it turns out, curvature of spacetime is tidal gravity, the cause of familiar ocean tides. You may even have a gut feel for it. This book will not teach you how to solve problems in Relativity. Nor will it teach you how to prove The shortest distance takes the longest time. No, we will spend our time grasping Einstein's insights, their implications on Reality and on mind; and amid our quest, on what it means to be human. More fun to learn does not mean that verse form is the lazy road to learning. It does not mean that verse form makes the difficult easy, or, the rough, plain. No, the difficult remains difficult; the rough remains rough. And to grasp it, you have to exert a determined, sustained effort and be willing to stretch your mind to accommodate the wild notions in Relativity. The idea motivating this book is to make the stretching more enjoyable relative to prose by using the rhyme-rhythm features of verse. But, stretch your mind, you have to. There is no royal, poetic road to learning There is a feature in our history, that stands out in view of our concerns in conveying knowledge-a feature that the ancients aptly used. It is the oral tradition. Since the first humans appeared, oral tradition was the sole means in transmitting knowledge for a very long time, indeed. If we fit the whole time since the first humans lived into a year, then writing started only about the morning of 30th of December. That is a huge time in which oral tradition operated, i.e. about 99.5% of our time as humans. What does this imply? We transmitted information orally; and we received information aurally This oral-aural conveyance was the way for all information, including that of knowledge. In addition, during the five hundred thousand years or so, oral tradition honed our brains to receive knowledge aurally. To me, this implies that our brains have a natural deep resonance to features of language in the oral tradition. The key language features in the oral tradition are the rhymes and rhythms of verse. I wrote this book in verse, inspired by this thought: to make the most out of the resonant structures in our brains engendered by oral tradition, to convey the deep insights of Einstein on Reality. It is my sincere wish that Einstein's ideas will find recognition in the public understanding and thus inform the public outlook. I invite you, everyone: Hop in with me, a time machine we ride, Intent on chasing space-time concepts wild; To fathom Einstein's insights into Reality, In his Special and General Relativity. Like Wordsworth, a lonely cloud wandering, Through space and time we will be winging, Not to appreciate the daffodils of Nature; But to understand Nature's Architecture

The meaning of life and light are not simple to explain. The universe cannot exist without either of these critical dimensional components. Light is not the reflection of electro-magnetic waves we have been taught in school and existence without life is meaningless. After you read this book, things will become clearer to you.

A nut and its shell, like any X and Y, are joined and separated by a circle. The line is always diameter and circumference of a circle. Thus, pi controls reality, 50-50.

Gravity Explained describes this universal mechanism and finally closes the door of this eternal mystery. It is based upon the rearrangement of our basic dimensions which invalidates temporal time. This new theory claims and reinforces the 4 dimensions are 4 spatial dimensions and nothing to do with temporal time which only causes ongoing confusion for the last 100 years. The primary dimension is no.1 the first and most important as it provides a physical means to understand and unlock many other outstanding confusion regards the unification of the 4 forces of nature. The mechanism of Gravity is simply explained by resolving these dimensions and the Primary one has a construct of constant time which is constantly emerging and populating itself with points of zero time to form Newton's Absolute Space. Although instinctively he knew that the Absolute should exist he did not live long enough to provide us with a mechanism. This book does and explains it to us in very simple terms with plenty of illustrative sketches.
