Professor Albert und das Abenteuer der Relativitätstheorie

Albert Einstein, as a humorous storyteller, entertainingly guides children through the theory of relativity. Einstein's theory of relativity turns our understanding of space and time upside down! Crazy things happen in a relative universe. Time can pass more slowly or quickly, or even be curved; space can contract, and things become heavier when they move! A period of hundreds of years can feel like just a few hours for someone on Earth if they are traveling in a rocket near the speed of light. This is all very confusing, but the theory of relativity has a significant impact on our world today. A car's GPS navigation system uses information received from satellites in orbit and takes into account that time on these satellites ticks differently than on the ground. Otherwise, after just one day, our actual location and our GPS position could differ by eight kilometers. Following "Professor Albert and the Secret of Quantum Physics," Professor Albert Einstein now focuses on explaining space and time and their connection in the theory of relativity. Physics is explained simply and vividly: What are space and time, anyway? How are they measured? How are motion and speed related? What is E = mc²? Anyone who wants to find out how our universe works and how space and time are connected will learn more about the fascinating, mysterious world of physics and relativity in this colorful and humorous children's book by the clever Professor Albert.
