Einstein’s Cosmos – Michio Kaku

An insightful new book putting Einstein“s work in a contemporary contextFew figures loom as large as Albert Einstein in our contemporary culture. It is truly remarkable that a man from such humble beginnings, an unemployed dreamer without a future or a job, who was written off by his professors as a hopeless loser, could to dare to scale the heights he reached. In this enlightening book Michio Kaku reasseses Einstein“s work by centering on his three great theories – special relativity, general relativity and the Unified Field Theory. The first yielded the equation E =mc² which is now such a fixture in our culture that it is practically a ubiquitous slogan. But the subsequent theories led to the Big Bang theory and have changed irrevocably the way we perceive time and space.Michio Kaku gives a new, refreshing look at the pioneering work of Einstein, giving a more accurate portrayal of his enduring legacy than previous biographies. As today“s advanced physicists continue their intense search to fulfill Einstein“s most cherished dream, a “theory of everything“, he is recognised as a prophet who set the agenda for modern physics.
