This is a simplified version of my book "Einstein's Physics For The Lay Person" and is meant for the lay reader who is interested primarily on the ESSENCE of Einstein's physics without the in-depth technical analyses and scary-looking equations. I am sure that you have heard about Albert Einstein and you know that he is the genius of all geniuses and is considered by many as the smartest man who ever lived. But do you really know and understand what he had accomplished? It is possible that you may have read his biography and learned that he revolutionized our perception of space, time and gravity and he transformed our understanding of the universe but did you really understand what those meant? If you really want to understand and truly appreciate what Einstein accomplished AND you happened to dislike (or even scared of mathemeatics) then this book is for you. All you need is to remember the things you learned in the science courses during your student days and a curious mind. As you read 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 terms of simple scientific and math concepts and 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 many other geniuses whose scientific accomplishments were directly or indirectly profoundly influenced by Einstein.

Chances are that you have heard about Albert Einstein and you know that he is the genius of all geniuses and is considered by many as the smartest man who ever lived. But do you really know and understand what he had accomplished? It is possible that you may have read his biography and you may have gotten a good description of his achievements but did you really understand what those descriptions mean? If you really want to understand and truly appreciate what Einstein accomplished then this book is for you. All you need is to remember the things you learned in basic high school physics and a curious mind. You will learn about Einstein's special and general relativity theories, cosmology with emphasis on the Big Bang theory, quantum theory and particle physics.

(Previously published under the title of "Einstein's Physics for the Lay Person SIMPLIFIED") --- Modern physics, with its exquisite and precise explanation of the mysteries of the universe, is one of the most fascinating subjects for the curious mind. And yet it is also one of the most intimidating subjects for the lay person. Science lovers watch the many mind-stimulating documentaries on TV about the universe and wonder: "Are black holes real? If so, what are they and how are they created?", "Can time really slow down and even stop?", "What is this Big Bang Theory thing that I keep hearing about? Did the universe really start with a huge explosion?". They want to get answers but are intimidated by the prospect of picking up a book on modern physics that is full of complex equations. They go read a highly simplified modern-physics-for-dummies" type of book but are disappointed by the dumbed-down condescending explanations. This book explains modern physics in a manner appropriate for a scientifically curious lay person. Yes, it does more "below the surface" analysis than a for-dummies book but this simplified version removes all the in-depth analysis from the non-simplified version; however you will still get the main essence of Einstein's physics and universe. Yes, the book also contains equations but only as means to figure out Nature's message to mankind because, after all, Galileo did say that "Mathematics is the language of Nature." and therefore we all need to try to understand what Nature is telling us through an equation. There will be no in-depth analysis of equations; there will only be a thoughtful analysis of Nature's message within each equation. Modern physics and the mysteries of the universe are explained from the point of view of the greatest physicist of them all, Albert Einstein, who spearheaded the transition from classical physics to modern physics with his revolutionary papers that were written within a span of six months during his so-called "Miracle Year" of 1905 and then followed ten years later by his earth-shaking (or shall we say universe-shaking?) paper on gravity that overthrew Isaac Newton's long-accepted gravitational theory. As you go through the book, you will learn about special relativity, general relativity, cosmology (the study of the origin and evolution of the universe), quantum theory and particle physics and we will discuss each one in this book. As we discuss these topics, 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, the gravitational bending of light, the expanding universe, the "Big Bang Theory", the "echo of creation", black holes, dark matter, dark energy, energy quantum, photons, quantum entanglement, Schrodinger's Cat, quarks, antimatter, "God Particle", the inflationary model and many more. (And I promise you, you will not see these as pure buzz words but will actually understand what they are!) Finally, you will understand why on December 31, 1999, Time magazine named Albert Einstein the "Person of the Century" for the 20th century. Considering the many great 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.

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 ...

Subtle is the Lord is widely recognized as the definitive scientific biography of Albert Einstein. The late Abraham Pais was a distinguished physicist turned historian who knew Einstein both professionally and personally in the last years of his life. His biography combines a profound understanding of Einstein's work with personal recollections from their years of acquaintance, illuminating the man through the development of his scientific thought.Pais examines the formulation of Einstein's theories of relativity, his work on Brownian motion, and his response to quantum theory with authority and precision. The profound transformation Einstein's ideas effected on the physics of the turn of the century is here laid out for the serious reader. Pais also fills many gaps in what we know of Einstein's life - his interest in philosophy, his concern with Jewish destiny, and his opinions of great figures from Newton to Freud. This remarkablevolume, written by a physicist who mingled in Einstein's scientific circle, forms a timeless and classic biography of the towering figure of twentieth-century science.

The work of a master, Relativity, the Special and the General Theory: A Popular Exposition, Volume One is Albert Einstein's own attempt to present his theories of relativity to non-physicists. The book is composed of three parts. Part one presents the Special Theory of Relativity and the intimate connection of space and time (spacetime, or "ST"). Part two highlights the General Theory of Relativity, in which Einstein argues that space and time are not absolute and are modified by gravitational forces. In part three, Einstein applies these theories to a consideration of the universe as a whole, with specific discussion about Newton's Law and a sketch of the structure of space according to the General Theory of Relativity. The book frequently refers to an analogy involving a man on a train and a man on and embankment, to which Einstein applies his theories to present varying outcomes. These analogies greatly enhance the layperson's understanding. Einstein's stated goal in Relativity, the Special and the General Theory was to "present the ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form," and in this regard he was largely successful. One does not need to have an understanding of the mathematical principles of theoretical physics in order to read this book. However, that is not to say this book is not a challenging read. The layman will likely find some of the passages quite dense, and the mathematical calculations that are presented may be difficult to follow. While this will not greatly impact one's surface level understanding of Einstein's theories, one's ability to fully grasp the theories presented will depend on their scientific and mathematical background. Relativity, the Special and the General Theory is highly recommended. It is an important work by one of the world's great thinkers, and it presents complex theories in an accessible manner. This book is a worthy addition to anybody's library.

It is now a century ago that one of the icons of modern physics published some of the most influential scientific papers of all times. With his work on relativity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein has altered the field of physics forever. It should not come as a surprise that looking back at Einstein's work, one needs to rethink the whole scope of physics, before and after his time. This books aims to provide a perspective on the history of modern physics, spanning from the late 19th century up to today. It is not an encyclopaedic work, but it presents the groundbreaking and sometimes provocative main contributions by Einstein as marking the line between 'old' and 'new' physics, and expands on some of the developments and open issues to which they gave rise. This presentation is not meant as a mere celebration of Einstein's work, but as a critical appraisal which provides accurate historical and conceptual information. The contributing authors all have a reputation for working on themes related to Einstein's work and its consequences.Therefore, the collection of papers gives a good representation of what happened in the 100 years after Einstein's landmark Annalen der Physik articles. All people interested in the field of physics, history of science and epistemology could benefit from this book. An effort has been made to make the book attractive not only to scientists, but also to people with a more basic knowledge of mathematics and physics.
