A look at everything from the physics of boiling water to the theories of the supercollider at the edge of the observable limits of the universe. Full of anecdotes and examples, the book takes the mystery out of physics and shows how scientists simplify the world in order to explain it.
Nigel Calder's landmark book has been acclaimed for making Albert Einstein's theories of relativity accessible to the public. The universe that Einstein built is an astonishing skyscape of bent starlight, high-speed astronauts, black holes, stormy galaxies, and exploding spacetime. Today it seems more certain than ever that we live in the cosmos he described?yet often we still fail to understand it. "Einstein's Universe" unlocks the secrets of an astounding vision of the world. How can a black hole keep you young? Why does a falling person feel no force of gravity? Answering these and many other questions, "Einstein's Universe" makes plain the debt that humanity owes to the man who completely reshaped our ideas of energy, time, and motion.
