He went on to become a twentieth-century icon-a man whose name and face are synonymous with \"genius.\" Now, at last, ordinary readers can explore Einstein's life and work in this new For Dummies guide. Physicist Carlos Calle chronicles Einstein's career and explains his work-including the theories of special and general relativity-in language that anyone can understand. He shows how Einstein's discoveries affected everything from the development of the atom bomb to the theory of quantum mechanics. He sheds light on Einstein's personal life and beliefs, including his views on religion and politics. And he shows how Einstein's work continues to affect our world today, from nuclear power to space travel to artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: A Genius Awakens 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Who Was Einstein? 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Man 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: 1905: Einstein’s Miracle Year 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: On the Shoulders of Giants: What Einstein Learned in School 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: A Clockwork Universe 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Arrow of Time 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Einstein’s Most Fascinating Subject 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: And There Was Light 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: The Special Theory of Relativity 111\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Relativity Before Einstein 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Riding on a Beam of Light 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Clocks, Trains, and Automobiles: Exploring Space and Time 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: The Equation 147\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: The General Theory of Relativity 161\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Einstein’s Second Theory of Relativity 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: “Black Holes Ain’t So Black” 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Was Einstein Right about Relativity? 211\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: The Quantum and the Universe 229\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Atoms Before Einstein 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Quantum Leap: God Plays Dice 247\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Einstein and the Bomb 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Einstein’s Greatest Blunder 289\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Not a Blunder After All 303\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart VI: The Part of Tens 319\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20: Ten Insights into Einstein’s Beliefs on Religion and Philosophy 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21: Ten Women Who Influenced Einstein 329\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A: Glossary 339\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B: Einstein Timeline 343\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \t \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarlos I.
