However, the theory can be demonstrated and proved with mathematics. A key premise here is that "Einstein's personal history had made him predisposed to discover relativity, but not to accept uncertainty".I was glad to see that, despite the title, this was not only about "Einstein's greatest mistake" (his avoidance of the latest discoveries in quantum theory, a theory which he had helped to create and in such avoidance, hamstringing his own efforts to develop a unified field theory). 9. If you are currently designing/remodeling or building a new modern spaceI would recommend this book highly for some unique ways to maximize your square footage. I bought seven "Small space" decorating books. It's an interesting argument, to be sure, and Bodanis makes a persuasive case and provides a lot of interesting, readable science in making it.In the smaller picture, of course, the book is back-handed inspiration for the non-genius readers--guiding us through the life and ideas of Einstein (a man who always captivates us, scientist and non-scientist alike) while reminding us of the danger of preconceived ideas and intellectual blinders--a good reminder of how human that personal failing is--and gives all of us something in common with Einstein.. Sadly for me, after finishing the book I share the quoted sentiments of one of Einstein's contemporaries, Zionist scientist Chaim Weizmann: "Ei

From the best-selling author of E=mc2, a brisk, accessible biography of Albert Einstein that reveals the genius and hubris of the titan of modern physics

Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped lead us into the atomic age. But when it came to the new field of quantum mechanics, the same traits undermined him. Bestselling biographer David Bodanis traces Einstein from the skeptical, erratic student to the world's most brilliant physicist—and then to the desolate, fallen-from-grace celebrity.
 
An intimate biography touching on the romances and rivalries of the celebrated physicist, as much as on his scientific goals, Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals what we owe Einstein today—and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.. Yet in the final decades of his life, he was ignored by most working scientists, and his ideas were opposed by even his closest friends.
 
How did this happen? Einstein's imagination and self-confidence served him well when he was young

“Bodanis has… an extraordinary ability to explain complicated physics… Bodanis is a lot like Einstein—minus the great mistake.  Both see fun in physics, both love simplicity and brevity. In this book, theories of the universe morph into theories of life.”
