3.0

This book was written in celebration of Einstein’s relativity theory (as noted on title) but it was more than that. It’s a celebration of the Man.

There quite a bit of scientific theories and assumptions etc in this book. I am not very scientific minded and I struggled in my high school physics class. Therefore, most of scientific natured discussions were just too slippery for me to grasp.

Einstein himself proved to be an interesting individual. As my husband puts it, “you gotta be crazy to think up stuff like that.” And my response was, he did not sound crazy at all instead very humanistic – failed marriage, dysfunctional relationships with his sons, unfaithfulness in marriage, loved to joke, and a warm supporter of peace.
