- Summary
- A deeply fascinating, engaging, and highly accessible explanation of Einstein's equation, using everyday life to explore the principles of physics
- Summary
- In producing a text that would be accessible to general readers, Cox (particle physics, U. of Manchester, UK) and Forshaw's (theoretical physics, U. of Manchester, UK) major aim was "to describe Einstein's theory of space and time in the simplest way we can while at the same time revealing its profound beauty." They offer lay readers an explanation of Einstein's theory and how it underpins our understanding of the workings of the universe--answering questions such as what energy and mass are, what light is and why stars shine, why nuclear power is more efficient than coal or oil--providing readers with an opportunity to explore their own notions of space and time.
