“It’s been a heck of a century for relativity, and The Perfect Theory is a perfect guide for this most beloved branch of modern physics.” — Wall Street Journal
Einstein’s theory of general relativity is possibly the most perfect intellectual achievement of modern physics. For almost a century now, physicists have been delving into Einstein's theory, seeking an understanding of the history of the universe, the origin of time, and the evolution of solar systems, stars, and galaxies. The expanding universe, the light speed barrier, black holes, wormholes, time travel — general relativity has allowed scientists’ imaginations to take flight with new possibilities, revealing a universe that is much stranger than anyone ever expected.
Arriving in time for the theory’s hundred-year anniversary, physicist Pedro Ferreira’s The Perfect Theory explains just how staggering an achievement that theory was while bringing to life the infighting that the theory sparked in the field of physics over the past century.
