Description

The self-creating universe and other absurdities -- Tennis, tea, and time travel -- Moving heaven and earth -- Let there be light -- Ether dreams -- Crisis in physics -- Einstein to the rescue -- Stretching time -- Star trips and squeezed space -- The same time? -- Past, present, future, and-- elsewhere -- Faster than light? -- Is everything relative? -- A problem of gravity -- Into the black hole -- Einstein's universe.;Einstein's basic message is so simple that a single English sentence suffices to state it all, promises Wolfson (physics, Middlebury College). It is the implications that are disturbing and can become endlessly complicated. He does use numbers now and then when they can help illustrate an idea, but his approach is narrative.
