A Princeton astrophysicist explores whether journeying to the past or future is scientifically possible in this “intriguing” volume (Neil deGrasse Tyson). It was H. G. Wells who coined the term “time machine”—but the concept of time travel, both forward and backward, has always provoked fascination and yearning. It has mostly been dismissed as an impossibility in the world of physics; yet theories posited by Einstein, and advanced by scientists including Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, suggest that the phenomenon could actually occur. Building on these ideas, J. Richard Gott, a professor who has written on the subject for Scientific American, Time, and other publications, describes how travel to the future is not only possible but has already happened—and contemplates whether travel to the past is also conceivable. This look at the surprising facts behind the science fiction of time travel “deserves the attention of anyone wanting wider intellectual horizons” (Booklist). “Impressively clear language. Practical tips for chrononauts on their options for travel and the contingencies to prepare for make everything sound bizarrely plausible. Gott clearly enjoys his subject and his excitement and humor are contagious; this book is a delight to read.” —Publishers Weekly

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.

Previously published as "Einstein's Physics For The Lay Person" by Madeleine Santos. *** On December 31, 1999, the very last day of perhaps the greatest century in history, Time magazine named Albert Einstein the "Person of the Century" for the 20th century. Considering the many great political and military leaders in the 20th century who had tremendous impacts in saving the world from destruction by two World Wars and the many great philosophers, inventors, economists and entrepreneurs who had such profound impacts on people's prosperity and well-being, why should a humble physicist be chosen as "Person of the Century"? Sure, Einstein was a genius who was considered by many as "the smartest person who ever lived" but what had he done to beat out all those great leaders who not only saved millions of lives but may have saved civilization itself. What had he done to beat out those great men and women who made huge contributions to improve people's lives? This book will show you that Einstein deserved that honor. Along the way, as you learn about Einstein's accomplishments, you will be introduced to the fascinating world of modern physics where you will learn about his special and general relativity theories, cosmology with emphasis on the Big Bang theory, quantum theory and particle physics. These subject matters are explained in simple terms using analogies that a lay person can easily understand. You will go through an exhilarating reading adventure as you learn about the space-time continuum, the slowing down of time, the warping of space, gravitational time dilation, the gravitational bending of light, the expanding universe, the "echo of creation", black holes, dark matter, dark energy, energy quantum, photons, entanglement, Schrodinger's Cat, quarks, antimatter, the Higgs field, the "God particle", the inflationary model of the universe and many more. Along the way, you will meet other geniuses whose scientific accomplishments were directly or indirectly profoundly influenced by Einstein. The collective vision of Einstein and the generations of geniuses that he inspired with his brilliant theories and equations forms what can be legitimately called "Einstein's Universe". This collective vision of our physical world led to technological innovations that launched many of world's current industries. It is estimated that one of Einstein's revolutionary papers (and he had several of them) launched a branch of modern physics that accounts for about one third of the current US economy. That alone would make him worthy of the "Person of the Century" honor. But there are a lot more and this book will tell you all about them ...

'Outstanding Academic Title for 2014' by CHOICEEinstein Relatively Simple brings together for the first time an exceptionally clear explanation of both special and general relativity. It is for people who always wanted to understand Einstein's ideas but never thought they could.Told with humor, enthusiasm, and rare clarity, this entertaining book reveals how a former high school drop-out revolutionized our understanding of space and time. From E=mc2 and everyday time travel to black holes and the big bang, Einstein Relatively Simple takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on a mind-boggling journey through the depths of Einstein's universe. Along the way, we track Einstein through the perils and triumphs of his life — follow his thinking, his logic, and his insights — and chronicle the audacity, imagination, and sheer genius of the man recognized as the greatest scientist of the modern era.In Part I on special relativity we learn how time slows and space shrinks with motion, and how mass and energy are equivalent. Part II on general relativity reveals a cosmos where black holes trap light and stop time, where wormholes form gravitational time machines, where space itself is continually expanding, and where some 13.7 billion years ago our universe was born in the ultimate cosmic event — the Big Bang.

How did it all begin? Where is it all going? A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe. His theory changed the way we think about space and time, revealed how our universe has been expanding from a hot dense state called the big bang and predicted black holes. WHERE THE UNIVERSE CAME FROM is a 13.8-billiion-year journey through the cosmos. Discover how Einstein's work explains why the cosmos is the way it is, why 95% of the universe is missing, how physicists go to extraordinary lengths to unlock gravity's secrets and how black holes could hold the key to a theory of everything.

NOW A MAJOR SERIES 'GENIUS' ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSH Einstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered. Einstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. This is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available -- a fully realised portrait of this extraordinary human being, and great genius. Praise for EINSTEIN by Walter Isaacson:- 'YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS.' Sunday Times 'As pithy as Einstein himself.’ New Scientist ‘[A] brilliant biography, rich with newly available archival material.’ Literary Review ‘Beautifully written, it renders the physics understandable.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Isaacson is excellent at explaining the science.
