Greatness—Missteps and All
Who has not heard of Einstein’s theory of relativity, which
revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and matter? He
was Time magazine’s Person of the Century, but even geniuses are
not infallible. He rejected the possibility of black holes, and he was
reluctant to accept the concept of an expanding universe or that gravity
waves might exist. In other words, what Einstein got wrong includes
some of the most exciting science of our time.
Physicist Dan Hooper of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
and the University of Chicago focuses on Einstein’s major
achievements, then covers his false starts, blind alleys, and outright
blunders, which are fascinating for what they reveal about how science
is done. More than just a biography of Einstein’s life, this course
provides you with an inside look at how this brilliant thinker arrived at
his various revolutionary breakthroughs.
