One of the world's best science writers. Mr. Calder's literary performance can be summed up in a word—excellent." —Christian Science Monitor
The universe that Albert Einstein saw was an astounding spectacle: a skyscape of curved lines, high speeds, black holes, light-cones, and exploding stars. He revolutionized our ideas of time and motion, rewrote the theory of gravity, solved age-old# mysteries. Today we live in his universe—yet too often fail to understand it. Now Nigel Calder, renowned for his accounts of the far frontiers of science, has made Einstein's vision accessible. When is a beam of light slowed down and bent? How can visiting a black hole keep you young? Why does a falling person feel no force of gravity? Einstein's Universe answers these and many other questions as it acknowledges the debt that humanity, probing ever deeper into space, will :always owe to Albert Einstein.
"Describing Einstein's universe with all its inferences and implications is a most demanding challenge. Calder has met it... in this absorbing, eye-opening tour through the Einsteinian cosmos."
