Einstein's War: How the Theory of Relativity Conquered the World (translated from Lin's History of Thought)
About This Novel
Everyone knows the theory of relativity, but few people know that the proposal and verification of the theory of relativity transcended the barriers of war and nationalism and combined the efforts of two scientists from hostile countries to form a cornerstone of international scientific consensus. This book is a gripping and humanistic history of science. It not only shows the history of the conquest of the world by the theory of relativity, but also presents the First World War, which was full of estrangement and hostility, and how Einstein and Eddington, who were in hostile countries, made extraordinary efforts and overcame unimaginable hardships to make the theory of relativity the foundational theory of modern physics. This work by Matthew Stanley is an epic about how scientific rationality and the spirit of curiosity defeat prejudice and nationalism. It is also a paean to the contemporary scientific spirit and international cooperation.
