'Outstanding Academic Title for 2014' by CHOICEEinstein Relatively
Simple brings together for the first time an exceptionally clear
explanation of both special and general relativity. It is for
people who always wanted to understand Einstein's ideas but never
thought they could.Told with humor, enthusiasm, and rare clarity,
this entertaining book reveals how a former high school drop-out
revolutionized our understanding of space and time. From E=mc2 and
everyday time travel to black holes and the big bang, Einstein
Relatively Simple takes us all, regardless of our scientific
backgrounds, on a mind-boggling journey through the depths of
Einstein's universe. Along the way, we track Einstein through the
perils and triumphs of his life - follow his thinking, his logic,
and his insights - and chronicle the audacity, imagination, and
sheer genius of the man recognized as the greatest scientist of the
modern era.In Part I on special relativity we learn how time slows
and space shrinks with motion, and how mass and energy are
equivalent. Part II on general relativity reveals a cosmos where
black holes trap light and stop time, where wormholes form
gravitational time machines, where space itself is continually
expanding, and where some 13.7 billion years ago our universe was
born in the ultimate cosmic event - the Big Bang.
