5 BOOKs-
Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps: Empires of Time
“This is an absolutely brilliant investigation into two related discoveries that deal with how you define what is simultaneous.”
-
The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality
“This is the clearest explanation of Newton and Einstein available, and Greene does it with a great sense of humour and wonderful visual thought experiments.”
-
The Evolution of Physics
Albert Einstein, Leopold Infeld
“This book gives a history of physics in a way that helps you to understand Einstein's great insights.”
-
Einstein's Dreams
“What makes this little book so good is that, as Tom Stoppard does, Lightman understands the science as he ties it into a literary piece of whimsy.”
-
Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance
“This is a great piece of writing and of research about Einstein's relationship with his first wife, who served as his sounding board in the miracle year of 1905.”
