Einsteins univers: En fysikers tanker om natur og erkendelse
Jeg vil vide, hvordan Gud skabte verden. Jeg onsker at kende hans tanker - resten er detaljer. Sadan sagde Albert Einstein (1879-1955), og han stod ved sit ord. Mere end nogen anden var Einstein arkitekten bag det 20. arhundredes nye verdensbillede, hvor begreber som tid og rum fik en radikalt anden betydning end tidligere.I Einsteins univers redegores for den beromte fysikers placering i videnskabshistorien, og hovedtrAekkene i hans vigtige bidrag til relativitetsteori, kvantefysik og kosmologi forklares. Bogen gennemgar ogsa Einsteins filosofiske og religiose standpunkter, ligesom den beskriver hans samfundsmAessige engagement og politiske holdninger. For selv om fysikken var det vigtigste i Einsteins liv, sa folte han en stAerk moralsk pligt til at engagere sig i verden uden for videnskaben.
