Reimagining Time: A Light-Speed Tour of Einstein's Theory of Relativity by Tanya

Description: Reimagining Time by Tanya Bub, Jeffrey Bub A quirky, funny, and accessible blend of science and art that delves into the heart of Einsteins theory of relativity FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A quirky, funny, and accessible blend of science and art that delves into the heart of Einsteins 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 Einsteins 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 Einsteins 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 sciences most revolutionary discoveries. Blending original art and text, they guide readers through Einsteins 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. Author Biography Tanya Bub is an artist and sculptor. Jeffrey Bub is Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland. They are coauthors of Totally Random: Why Nobody Understands Quantum Mechanics (A Serious Comic on Entanglement. Review "What makes Reimagining Time unique is the complementary talents of its authors, a father-daughter team, who together create an enjoyable yet challenging exposition of [Einsteins theory of relatvitiy]."—J. F. Burkhart, Choice"[This books] aim to provide a non-mathematical but quantitative description of SR—is as laudable as it is challenging. Just maybe it will appeal to enough readers to make it a cult classic."—Peter Main, Physics Education"Hop aboard the relativity train with this lively and creative introduction to the most significant ideas of Einsteins relativity. A spirited intellectual adventure!"—David Kaiser, author of Quantum Legacies: Dispatches from an Uncertain World"Understanding Einsteins theory of special relativity can be hard. In the engaging and artfully illustrated Reimagining Time Tanya and Jeffrey Bub make the effort to understand it immensely enjoyable without compromising on correctness and rigor."—Anil Ananthaswamy, author of Through Two Doors at Once"Tanya Bub and Jeffrey Bub have done it again! Reimagining Time is a delightful read, resulting in a conceptual understanding of one of the most important paradigm shifts in physics. Totally brilliant!"—Tiffany Nichols, Harvard University"Reimagining Time is a fascinating introduction to the core concepts of special relativity. The unique illustrated format and elegant writing will appeal to readers who have not encountered these ideas before."—Chad Orzel, author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog"Most introductions to Einsteins theory of special relativity teach one to accept its puzzling aspects. With clever narration and illustration, Reimagining Time helps you understand relativity."—Craig Callender, author of What Makes Times Special? Review Quote "What makes Reimagining Time unique is the complementary talents of its authors, a father-daughter team, who together create an enjoyable yet challenging exposition of [Einsteins theory of relatvitiy]."--J.
