Chances are that you have heard about Albert Einstein and you know that he is the genius of all geniuses and is considered by many as the smartest man who ever lived. But do you really know and understand what he had accomplished? It is possible that you may have read his biography and learned that he revolutionized our perception of space, time and gravity and he transformed our understanding of the universe but did you really understand what those meant? If you really want to understand and truly appreciate what Einstein accomplished then this book is for you. All you need is to remember the things you learned in the science courses during your student days and a curious mind. As you read about Einstein's accomplishments, you will be introduced to the fascinating world of modern physics where you will learn about his special and general relativity theories, cosmology with emphasis on the Big Bang theory, quantum theory and particle physics. These subject matters are explained in terms of simple scientific and math concepts and using analogies that a lay person can easily understand. You will go through an exhilarating reading adventure as you learn about the space-time continuum, the slowing down of time, the warping of space, gravitational time dilation, the gravitational bending of light, the expanding universe, the "echo of creation", black holes, dark matter, dark energy, energy quantum, photons, entanglement, Schrodinger's Cat, quarks, antimatter, the Higgs field, the "God particle", the inflationary model of the universe and many more. Along the way, you will meet many other geniuses whose scientific accomplishments were directly or indirectly profoundly influenced by Einstein.
