Einstein - His Life and Universe

Walter Isaacson has done an excellent job writing this inspirational and illuminating biography of Albert Einstein. The book is meticulously researched and purchased, but written in a fun and enjoyable which makes it very fun to read.

I was very happy with the way in which the relevant concepts, theories, principles, ideas and experiments are presented and explained in the book (for example, were the equivalence principle of relativity of simultaneity, the Michelson-Morley experiment satisfiedNewtonian concepts of absolute space and time, etc.) and the amount of space that other physicists whose work has had an impact and influence on their work of Einstein (for example, has been given, Planck, Bohr, Lorentz, Minkowski, etc.) .

The importance of independent thought and imagination and courage, the conventional wisdom when Necessary, was presented with many great examples in the book (eg Newtonian concepts of space and time) to give up. Einstein was even greater geniuswhat he thought to be. The ability of these experiments had a brilliant thought, and many see the far-reaching effects on the physical reality really amazing.

To my delight, the book is also full of great stories to illustrate Einstein's sense of humor. My favorite story was that he described his reaction to women after the Patriots had admitted the refusal of a visa petition to the United States had. His allusion to the geese that saved Rome, when I gave uplaugh.

This book is worth the time. To be read if you're interested in the history of physics.
