A take on Einstein's twin paradox -- Geek Notes: For the skeptical relativist.A quirky, funny, and accessible blend of science and art that delves into the heart of Einstein’s theory of relativity It was a link to his 1905 paper—an early attempt at explaining his revolutionary ideas on space, time, and matter—that drew Tanya Bub into Albert Einstein’s imaginative vision of the world. What particularly struck her was how Einstein interwove words and math to create clear visuals illustrating his theories. As an artist, she naturally started doodling as she worked her way through his concepts, creating drawings that intuitively demonstrated Einstein’s core principles. In Reimagining Time Tanya Bub teams up with her father, the distinguished physicist Jeffrey Bub, to create a quirky and accessible take on one of science’s most revolutionary discoveries. Blending original art and text, they guide readers through Einstein’s theory of special relativity to expose truths about our universe: time is relative, lengths get shorter with motion, energy and mass are interchangeable, and the Universe has a speed limit.Relativity (Physics)Popular worksSpecial relativity (Physics)Space and timeGeneral relativity (Physics)Relativity (Physics)Special relativity (Physics)Space and time.General relativity (Physics)530.110723Bub Tanya1218505Bub JeffreyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910554207703321Reimagining time2817873UNINA
