About this listen

In one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of The Theory of Relativity in recent years, Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein's most famous equation, exploring the principles of physics through everyday life.

This is a great listen, goes at just the right pace and keeps you hanging on for more. The Ionian enchantment really did blow me away. I had goose bumps at one point.

The formulas are lost on the audio listener, but if you have the book in print to back it up, that's a great partnership.

Perfect for the car, just don't drift away on a thought experiment ;-)

Excellent book, expertly pitched and addictive

At least I have 2 out of the 3 characteristics a scientist needs. Curiosity and imagination. Despite no maths I enjoyed this book in my own inimatable way.

Finally I've finished it, well worth stickability.

As you'd expect from these two, an engaging and fascinating listen throughout. The science, although complex at times is contextualised and explained in laymans terms, and the narrative is easy to follow. A good listen.

Brain food...

Approachability

Having visited the National History Museum with my children last year, it became apparent to me that the similarities between the worlds species was much closer than I had imagined and that our origins are from the same source.

In addition to this, Brian Cox has been known to me because of a past association with CERN and TED... and my chess playing, brandy drinking companion and physicist neighbour, Pascal.

This book has provided a great insight into our origin, the world of physics and the theories and discoveries that have been achieved in our immensely short (space) time within this creation. If like me, your mind never pauses for information and insight, I can highly recommend this book.

A recommended listen

This is an excellent starter for delving into the non intuitive aspects of special and general relativity. Jeff Forshaw and Brian Cox have produced a beginners guide that is both entertaining and enlightening, I have been rewarded with a deeper level of comprehension that similar books have failed to deliver. Excellent!

Highly recommended!
