Describing the life of Albert Einstein, Michio Kaku immerses us in the seething atmosphere of the first half of the 20th century. – two world wars, revolution in Germany, creation of the atomic bomb. He shows the reader the world of a scientist, usually invisible behind the triumphant side of discoveries and insights - the stages of formation, battles in the scientific world, and often difficult relationships with loved ones. The book provides a fresh look at the pioneering work of Einstein, who revolutionized humanity's understanding of space and time. The book's author, Michio Kaku, is a world-renowned physicist and science popularizer. His ability to convey scientific knowledge to the widest reader is akin to the great Einstein, who loved to repeat that a new theory is worthless if it is not based on a visible image, simple enough that even a child could understand it. In his book, Michio Kaku not only manages to fascinatingly talk about the life of a great genius, but also gives a clear idea of Albert Einstein’s discoveries even to those who are far from science.
