They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But what about relativity? Physics professor Chad Orzel & his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein's physics. Through armchair-and sometimes passenger-seat-conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog & cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas-the slowing of time for a moving observer, the shrinking of moving objects, the effects of gravity on light & time, black holes, the Big Bang, & of course, E=mc 2-into examples simple enough for a dog to underst&. A lively romp through one of the great theories of modern physics, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about space, time, & anything else you might have slept through in high school physics class. ...

Product Description

A unique insight into one of science's greatest minds of the last half-century.

Undoubtedly the most famous name in science & the very face of physics over the last half-century, Stephen Hawking was remarkable for many reasons.

Not least because he continued to strive to achieve so much while being hindered by debilitating illness.

He demonstrated categorically that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything, no matter your physical state.

Of course, it helps if you happen to possess a mind such as he did. His work on black holes put him on the map, & he became globally famous for his A Brief History of Time,  communicating the most difficult scientific ideas at a period when he'd lost the ability to speak.
