Book of the Week: Einstein's Dreams

16 Sep 2013

Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional account of dreams that Einstein had while he was working on the theory of special relativity in 1905. Each chapter is a short description of the dream, detailing the different ways people interact with time. Time behaves differently in each dream. This book would be helpful to give someone before they try to learn special relativity. Need to introduce a different concept of time to people first, so they can concentrate on the mathematics instead of trying to grapple with both at the same time.
