This book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of space and time as understood by physicist Albert Einstein and his contemporaries, from Newton's original theories through to Einstein's groundbreaking discoveries 1905-1915. The author argues that these great scientific minds were not just concerned with what the universe is made of, but also the nature of the space we inhabit and the way in which time flows. Through challenging assumptions that have been unquestioned for centuries, the author reframes the very concepts of space and time, demonstrating how both must be connected with matter and can only be understood in relation to it. As such, the book goes beyond the traditional view, and provides a stimulating discussion of the concepts of space and time, inviting readers to question what they think they know about the universe and explore how this new understanding of the foundations of physics can influence our world view.
