A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In his conversational style, Anthony Zee examines the nature of gravity and its role in our universe. Zee starts from a birthday gift that Albert Einstein received on his seventy-sixth birthday that worked on the main principle in his theory of gravity. From there Zee leads the reader through the implications of Einstein's theory and its influence on modern physics. Einstein's Universe in a witty and accessible style also examines how the theory of gravity has shaped our understanding of how the universe began, the development of stars and galaxies, and the nature of space itself. The new Oxford edition will include a new afterword by the author that will bring the subject matter up to date.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Anthony Zee is a Permanent Member of the Institute for Theoretical Physics and Professor of Physics at the University of California in Santa Barbara. His other books include Fearful Symmetry and The Unity of Forces.
