DESCRIPTION:
Michio Kaku, leading theoretical physicist (a cofounder of string theory) and best-selling science storyteller, shows how Einstein used seemingly simple images to lead a revolution in science. With originality and expertise, Kaku uncovers the surprising beauty that lies at the heart of Einstein's cosmos.. Even in failure, however, Einstein's late insights have led to new avenues of research as well as to the revitalization of the quest for a "Theory of Everything". Thinking about a man falling led to the general theory of relativity giving us black holes and the Big Bang. A dazzling tour of the universe as Einstein saw it.How did Albert Einstein come up with the theories that changed the way we look at the world? By thinking in pictures. Daydreaming about racing a beam of light led to the special theory of relativity and the equation E = mc^2. Ein
Kevin Pallister said Einstein's Cosmos. Einstein's Cosmos is an engaging, quick read. It is a nice blend of biography and science, and it is written in Kaku's customary clear style. Kaku does a great job explaining some of Einstein's insights to nonspecialist readers, although in later chapters his explanations become less clear. Perhaps it is simply the case that explaining relativity theory is simpler than explaining attempts at unifying relativity . Wow! JustW-O-W! A. Portsmouth If you have any interest whatsoever in physics or Einstein, you should stop reading this review and buy this book immediately.I learned so much from reading this book, that I ended up buying more books on physics, as well as Richard Feynman's lectures (Six Easy Pieces) and then even starting taking online physics courses.From reading this book, I discovered that I have a true affinity for physics and science tha. Relevant Relativity L. Shane Even tho Einstein's theories are now over a hundred years old, they are still the grail of physics. Just a few days ago, gravity waves were confirmed observing two black holes orbiting one another. I don't much understand relativity, but I understand quantum theory even less. What I enjoyed most in the book is the story of Einstein's personal struggles and cognitive supersedence over his dogmatic teachers, disse
