Author Description

In 1905, Albert Einstein published his landmark paper on special relativity, leading to a revolution in physics and society. Einstein radically changed our understanding of reality, including the notion that time slows down with movement, a concept seemingly later validated by atomic clocks aboard fast moving airplanes. To most people there was only one conclusion to the clock data, Einstein’s theory of special relativity must be true. How else does one explain the bizarre idea that time appears to slow down? The theory of special relativity became locked in. However, if one tugs at the loose strings, special relativity becomes much less certain. Moreover, an alternative concept emerges that challenges Einstein's ideas, one that has profound implications for how we understand the universe. This short, easy-to-read book is intended for non-scientists and makes the case that Einstein was wrong about special relativity, and further explains why you should care deeply about this.
