Description
This book brings Albert Einstein back to life through 99 stories about the man behind the instantly recognisable face and the shorthand for genius. The Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and inspired the highly radioactive element 99 was also a high-school dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long. Samuel Graydon explores Einstein's lost daughter, his escape from the Nazis, his love letters, unlikely inventions, jokes told to cheer up his sad parrot Bibo and his refusal of the Presidency of Israel, alongside the discoveries and thought experiments that changed science and reshaped our view of the universe and our place within it.
