This unique book combines the allure of detective stories with excellent scientific writing - from the major changes (or shifts) in scientific paradigms to the paradoxes of quantum theory and relativity.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was the first to clearly perceive the implications of the new paradigm of "flexible spacetime," which he explored through ingenious mental experiments. The brilliant Sherlock Holmes thoroughly analyzes and solves paradoxical events, murders, and all sorts of strange crimes that leave the police and the conventional technology of the era at their wits' end.
The mysterious adventures unfold with cinematic mastery within the grandeur and squalor of Victorian London. The paradoxes - which Sherlock Holmes is called to interpret here - are revised versions of Einstein's conjectures, such as the famous "Twin Paradox" and the lesser-known "Train Paradox," which proved that simultaneity is a meaningless concept.
The reader is anxious about the progression of the story while simultaneously mastering, in the simplest and most original way, the mysterious world of modern physics. "Einstein's Paradox" is a complete delight.
