Einstein was many things, but boring was not one of them. " This book spent way too much time on insignificant details, which made it boring. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.the layperson can easily come to terms with what is best known about the history ideas in these areas. "Aczel writes about science (physics and astronomy) and scientists, mathematics and mathematicians all in terms that the curious-minded untrained person a.k.a. Awesome in scope, thrilling in detail, God's Equation is storytelling at its finest. Here the unthinkable becomes real: an infinite, ever-expanding, ever-accelerating universe whose only absolute is the speed of light. Drawing on newly discovered letters of Einstein-many translated here for the first time-years of research, and interviews with prominent mathematicians, cosmologists, physicists, and astronomers, Aczel takes us on a fascinating journey into "the strange geometry of space-time," and into the mind of a genius. The most compelling theory cosmologists could find to explain this phenomenon was Einstein's cosmological constant, a theory he conceived-and rejected-over eighty years ago. The way we perceive the universe was changed forever. In January 1998, astronomers found evidence that the cosmos is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. Amir Aczel, critically acclaimed author of Fermat's Last Theorem, takes us into the heart of science's greatest mystery.
