A very interesting book. Although it was aimed at young teens (supposed age range is 12 years old and up), it's explanation of the theory of relativity in simple terms still didn't make it understandable to me. I guess my mind just won't go there . . . I loved the quote in the book of a professor of chemistry at the University of Manchester in England, Chaim Weitzmann, who traveled with Einstein to the U.S. in 1921. Weitzmann said, "(Einstein) explained his theory to me every day and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it." Yep! Now THAT, I relate to!
