Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of the post-World War I era, the narrative follows Einstein as he eagerly anticipates the results of a British eclipse expedition that could validate his theory of general relativity. With the expedition's success, he emerges as a scientific celebrity. The book delves into his support for astronomers testing his theories, his contemplation of a unified field theory, and his interactions with colleagues that reveal a more open-minded approach to quantum physics, contrasting with his later reputation as a critic of the field.
