Einstein's Context Brent Kitchen This is a well written book putting Einstein's discoveries and ideas into their historical context. If you are already familiar with the Theory of Relativity, you will be able to grasp the explanations. Otherwise, you may have a struggle with the discussion, since the author sometimes makes jumps in the explanation that are hard to follow. Th. "Nice book!" according to A Customer. This book is great! It answers every question you've ever had about the universe, plus tons more. Not only does it tell you about Einstein's theories, it tells you about his life, friends, competitors, everything! I have learned so much from this book! Don't think it is written for children, because it is most certainly not. I got confused so
Physicist and popular science writer Barry Parker speaks to the broadest possible audience in bringing Einstein's theories to life. In exploring the fascinating implications of Einstein's thought, Parker treats us to the experience of discovering a black hole, traversing curved spacetime, and greeting our much younger twin who has just returned from a long and arduous spaceflight.Parker's incomparable gift for language captures Einstein's uniqueness, singular brilliance, and stunning theories. Not since Isaac Newton had anyone conceived the universe in such a revolutionary, startling new way. Given the fervent renewed appreciation for the contributions Albert Einstein has bestowed on humanity, Parker thinks it o
And space and time contract as you speed up. And time is part of space. Students and others looking for fascinating and painless introductions to this particular, well-traveled, but still-startling corner of the sciences will be happy with Parker as their guide. Moreover, nothing can go faster than light. A particularly strong chapter (with a full complement of clean diagrams) addresses the theory and practice of time travel. The latest book to tackle Einstein's insights and their consequences is also one of the clearest and shortest yet. "Acceleration and gravity are intimately related." These and other counterintuitive propert
