  • Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel

    by Banesh Hoffmann, Helen Dukas ...
    “Hoffmann does more than convey the emotional impact of Einstein’s science on Einstein. He tries to make the general reader see the problems that concerned Einstein and understand the kinds of theories he constructed to solve them... This calls for scientific popularization of a high order... Hoffmann [...] does it very effectively.” — Martin Klein and Robert Merton, The New York Times“... ... Read more

    by Banesh Hoffmann, Helen Dukas ...
    Narrated by Wanda McCaddon ...

    Unabridged

Witty rhymes, an ... Read more

    How Fairytale Physics Betrays the Search for Scientific Truth

    Thousands of years ago in ancient India, Yogis probed the atom with supernormal powers called siddhis. What they saw was subatomic particles as vortices of energy. That insight gave rise to maya the illusion of forms. Anticipating Einstein, Yogis realised everything is energy. There is no material substance underlying our world. They knew the bedrock of reality is mind and consciousness. That is ... Read more
